The 'modern' Western world was introduced to Indian Jews in 1665
when Menasseh Bene Israel of Amsterdam petitioned Oliver Cromwell's
government to permit Jews to return to England from where they had
been expelled in 1290, citing the tolerant maharajas of Cochin as
examples of pragmatic and tolerant leadership to be emulated in
England. Over the next 350 years, books, magazine and newspaper
articles, travel diaries, and a variety of government and
commercial documents have explored Indian Jewish experience, often
sensationally. Over the past half-century, modern scholarship has
applied historical, sociological, anthropological, political,
cultural, literary, and folkloristic perspectives, and all the
while Indian Jews themselves have narrated their stories to
ever-fascinated audiences. This bibliography, compiled over three
decades of research, is designed to assist students and scholars
who wish to explore India's rich and varied Jewish heritage. It is
organised by communities. First are general works on Indian Jewry,
followed by: sections on the Cochin Jews; the Bene Israel of
Maharashtra; the little-known Mughal Jews; the 'Baghdadi'
communities of Indian port cities; the Ashkenazim, many of whom but
not all were refugees to India from Nazi-dominated Europe; and
finally, recent Judaising movements of north-east India and in
Andhra Pradesh.
