Intersection register · custodian, not owner
Karachi welcomed in the nineteenth century a composite Jewish community, bringing together Bene Israel and Baghdadi Jews attracted by the commercial development of the port under British rule. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the community numbered several thousand members active in commerce, law, and the liberal professions; it departed from Pakistan almost entirely after the partition of 1947, emigrating primarily to Israel and India.

The days of this book
