Memory register · custodian, not owner

The Jewish presence in Delhi is recent and always remained limited, formed mainly by Bene Israel and Baghdadis from Bombay and Calcutta, to whom expatriates and diplomats were added in the twentieth century. Unlike the ancient communities of the western coast or Cochin, Delhi never housed a large, historically rooted Jewish community. Communal life there remained modest and largely informal. The Jewish presence in the Indian capital remains marginal today.
