WASHINGTON, D.C., 10 MAY 2011 – The Asia Society Washington Center held a screening of the documentary Next Year in Bombay, which shed light on a little-known subcontinental subculture.
The film tells the tale of the Bene Israel Jewish community, which arrived in India around 2000 years ago and presently has a population of around 4000 people.
A panel discussion with two members of the Bene Israel community, Nissim Reuben and his father Benjamin Reuben, as well as University of Delhi Associate Professor Maina Chawla Singh and Indian cultural expert Ken Robbins, a psychiatrist known for his scholarly work on minorities in India, followed the screening.
