In a country as large and diverse as India, there are many pockets of unexpected cultures. Kolkata, with its long history as a port city has many. One such group is the Jews. In this episode, Sandip Roy speaks to Flower Silliman, one of the oldest people of her community, and her daughter Yael, about Jewish customs, how the community is fading, what life in Kolkata has been over the years, and a deeply disturbing story from partition.
