SHALOM INDIA HOUSING SOCIETY

Shalom India Housing Society is a fictional place in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Set in 2002, after the communal carnage that took place post-Godhra, it revolves around the dilemmas of the last of the Bene Israeli Jews in the city.
Should they leave? Should they continue to stay in India? Do they belong to Israel, their spiritual fatherland or to India, their motherland? Strongly rooted in Ahmedabad, the shadow of the recent violence and of the Arab-Israeli conflict in Israel brings home the vulnerability of a miniscule community, already shrinking rapidly.
