Thank you for the research article. I have several friends (non-Jewish) from India and always wondered if there were Indian Jews in their society who may have influenced others due to their heritage from ancient trade and more recent(1700-1800's)imigration from other countries due to inquisition and other reasons. I figured that there must be some Jews who made it that far. This is the proof. I am surprised that there are more in Isreal than in India based on this information.
samuel's addressing himself as a "bandra boy"is great thing where is the man that is his country such type of thoughts make man great. i appreciate it.
