This mezuzah case comes from India sometime between 1920 and 1949. Jews have lived in India since ancient times, so long that Judaism was one of the first foreign religions ever to arrive in India. Indian Jewish populations peaked in the 1940s, and declined sharply after the establishment of Israel but there are still small Jewish communities around India, the largest of which is in Mumbai.
