Vendor : BEETLE BOOK SHOP

In Jewish Heritage of the Deccan, co-authors Kenneth X. Robbins and Pushkar Sohoni deliver the first comprehensive guidebook dedicated entirely to the architectural and socio-cultural legacy of the Jewish communities in Maharashtra. While the local Jewish population today numbers only a few thousand, this region holds a deeply rich history marked by two distinct communities: the ancient Bene Israel and the more recent émigré Baghdadi Jews. Organized into highly accessible, practical itineraries, the book guides readers through the synagogues, historic cemeteries, warehouses, and textile mills of Mumbai, Pune, and the smaller coastal towns of the northern Konkan. Featuring splendid, newly commissioned photography by Surendra Kumar, this volume highlights not only sacred spaces but also the massive civic philanthropy—including schools, hospitals, and libraries—left behind by wealthy Jewish families like the Sassoons. It stands as an indispensable reference for travelers, historians, and local citizens eager to discover a significant yet frequently overlooked chapter of Deccan history.
