>About the book :-
>
>Indo-Judaic Studies has been gathering momentum ever since India and Israel
>established full diplomatic relations some ten years ago. If this trend
>continues, it could be recognised as a. major field of study at a
>university in the not too distant future. This book is an important
>historical contribution to the subject as it contains hitherto unpublished
>material gleaned mainly from public and private archives in India and
>Israel. The author presents Mahatma Gandhi and C.F. Andrews in a new light.
>He traces the "lost" periods of the Bene Israel sojourn in India : Their
>early settlement; the medieval and Moghul periods; and their heyday under
>the Marathas. The section on Art deals with a fabulous collection that
>contains Indian miniatures and manuscripts taken by Nadir Shah when he took
>the Koh-i-noor and the Peacock throne. The diary kept by the Zionist
>emissary to India in 1936, Dr. Olsvanger, is published in full in English
>translation together with his correspondence with Pandit Nehru. The reader
>is introduced to the Papers of Hermann Kallenbach, Gandhi's soul friend,
>and gets a peep into Indian and Israeli archives with one document going
>back to 1826.
