From February 16-18, O.P. Jindal Global University and partner institutions hosted a conference on Jews Across the Indian Ocean. Sifra Lentin, Bombay History Fellow at Gateway House, moderated the panel “Archival Documentation of Jews in the Indian Ocean.” Scholars discussed uncovering histories preserved in private collections, whose multi-textual and eclectic nature often contrasts with linear institutional archives and reflects collectors’ distinct motivations and perspectives.
