Yulia Egorova Book order

"Jews and Muslims in South Asia examines how Jews and Muslims relate to each other in a place where, in contrast to Europe, their perceived attitudes towards one another do not often make headlines. Egorova and Lyon find that in this context Jewish and Muslim communities interact in ways that don't fit Western stereotypes. At the same time, this relationship is still intrinsically connected to global narratives about Jews and Muslims"--

Focusing on the representation of Jews in India during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the book examines Indian perceptions of Jewish communities alongside the portrayal of Jews and Judaism in Indian discourse. It delves into cultural interactions and the complexities of identity, shedding light on the historical context and societal attitudes that shaped these relationships.
