【摘要】 印度也散居着犹太人,其可被分为六支。而本文根据其相关特点又将其分为三大类,即本土化的印度犹太人、雅各的直系后裔以及欧洲与阿拉伯犹太人的后裔。目前,印度犹太人主要形成了孟买的本尼以色列人、科钦犹太人以及加尔各答的巴格达犹太人等三大社团。由于受庞杂的印度文化影响,印度犹太人也建立了种姓制度,许多方面也呈现出印度特色。尽管这一特殊性对印度犹太人的身份认同产生了重要影响,但印度犹太人并未被完全同化,仍保留了清晰的犹太身份意识,是具有印度特色的犹太人。更多还原

They are re-categorized in this paper as three groups comprising localized Indian Jews, Jacob’s lineal descendants and descendants of European and Arabic Jews.
