The Cochin synagogue. ^
Thanks Liam.
He's right, there are swastikas all over the place in India. And it is not a sign of Nazi sympathies.
On a related note, diaspora Jews did settle in India in very small numbers many centuries back. And they lived in peace and harmony with the peoples around them. India is one of the only places in the diaspora where Jews did not experience any level of persecution. They once numbered in the many hundreds.
The two communities of Hebrews are in Cochin, in the state of Kerala, as well as Mumbai, in Maharashtra. There are about ten Jews left in Kerala, and only two in Mumbai.
They have otherwise all gone to Israel.
For your edification.....
