Judaism is one of the first foreign religious to arrive in India. Unlike many parts of the world, the Jews lived in India without a single instance of persecution. The Jews came to India after expulsion from Liberia, under Spain in the 14th century. One group among the Kukis in Manipur and Mizos in Mizoram, in the Northeast contend that they descend from the Israelite lost tribe of Manasseh, and hence the Bnei Menashe. The Cochin Jews claim to have arrive in India together with the Hebrew King Solomon’s merchants. They first setteled in Kodungallur (Cranganore) on the Malabar Coast and traded unstinted until `1524 when the Portuguese and the Moors attacked and destroyed the port. In Cochin, the Jews had to face the Muslim wrath, in the form of Tipu Sultan, and they stood with the Hindu king. The history of Mumbai would have never been so exotic if David Sassoon had not anchored there after a persecution in Iraq. Though the majority of Jews have left India, tales of a symbiotic relationship linger. This book, by eminent historian and editor Rama Chandran, is an attempt to chronicle the bonhomie the Jews in India enjoyed with the Hindu multitude.
