25. Read the passage carefully and then answer the questions that follow
(any four) : 1×4=4
The followers of Judaism are known as Jews. The ancient Indian
settlements of Jews are in Cochin and Maharashtra. 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.
By contrast the Jews in Maharashtra are large in number. 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.
(a) Name the religion of the Jews. 1
(b) Name the ancient Indian settlements of the Jews. 1
(c) Mention the rights and privileges granted by the King of Cochin for the
Jews. 1
(d) Differentiate between the ‘White Jews’ and ‘Black Jews’. 1
(e) What were the Jews of Maharashtra called? 1
(f) Why were the Jews of Maharashtra also called ‘Saturday Oilmen’? 1
