25. Read the passage carefully and then answer the questions which follows. (1 Mark each) 4
The followers of Judaism are known as Jews. The ancient Indian settlements of Jews
are in Cochin and Maharashtra. Both the settlements are small in number having a combined
population of not more than twenty thousand.
The Jews of Cochin have maintained their religious identity for at least a millennium. It
was in 1020 AD that the king of Cochin gave the Jews the right to live and enjoy privileges,
such as the right to ride elephants and to go with a state umbrella etc. Later, the Jews came
to be divided into two groups-the white Jews, who were lighter in their skin color and traced
their kinship to the original migrants and the Black Jews who were dark skinned. Between
these two groups of Jews there was no similarity in food habits and marriages.

By contrast the Jews in Maharashtra are large in number. The Jews of Cochin were
different from the Jews of Maharashtra. These Jews are known as Bene Israel i.e. Sons of
Israel. They live in several Konkani-speaking villages as oil pressers, since oil pressing is not a
prestigious occupation, they do not rank high in their villages. As they do not work on
Saturdays, they are also known as Saturday Oilmen.
(i) What were the Jews of Maharashtra called ?
(ii) Mention the rights and privileges granted by the King of Cochin for the Jews.
(iii) Which religion is followed by the Jews ? Where had they mainly settled down in
India ?
(iv) Write a brief note on the ‘Bene Israel’.
