NEW DELHI: Dr Kenneth Robbins and Rabbi Marvin Tokayer have presented a collection of writings detailing the presence of Jews in India, which has been molded into two books: “Jews and the Indian Art Project” and “Western Jews in India.”
Dr. Kenneth Robbins, a psychiatrist by training, says he set out with the goal of recognizing Jews’ contributions to the country’s numerous areas.
“My original intention was to write a book about the Jews in India and the cultures of the various communities, but that has already been done.” But what I discovered was that I kept coming across individual Jews who had made significant contributions to India.
