Jewish communities can be found all over the world.
A study by scientists at the Center for Cellular and Molecular Biology in Hyderabad and other places found that the Indian Jewish community is “overwhelmingly” South Asian, with a “very small” amount of Middle Eastern genes.
To find out where Indian Jewish populations came from and how they mixed with other groups, researchers looked at the DNA of Indian Jewish people and compared it to the DNA of native Indians and people from other parts of the world.
