Title: Indian Jews
Description: This bibliography is designed to assist students and scholars who wish to explore India's rich and varied Jewish heritage. It is also intended for the more casual reader, especially Indian Jews themselves whether at home in India or relocated in Israel, the United States, England or Australia. It begins with Menasseh ben Israel's 1665 book, and 2005 was selected as a point of closure.--

During the early 21st century, the study of Indian Jewish communities has become mainstream as scholars of religions have become fascinated by the persistence and cultural adaptations of India's tiniest community, and as Jewish studies scholars have sought more inclusive paradigms for understanding the Jewish Diaspora. A similar surge of interest among scholars of South Asia is just beginning, but knowledge about Judaism and Indian Jewish communities remains undeveloped, although Indian scholars have begun to contribute in significant ways to Indo-Judaic Studies.--
