Memory register · custodian, not owner
Under British administration of India, Karachi saw the establishment in the nineteenth century of a Jewish community composed mainly of Bene Israel from the western coast of India and Baghdadi merchants. Its members served in the administration, crafts, and commerce, and the city had a synagogue and communal life. The partition of 1947 and the creation of Pakistan, a majority-Muslim country, along with tensions arising from the Israeli-Arab conflict, led to the almost total emigration of the community to India and Israel. Only a negligible presence remains today.
