The Mystery of Israel's Ten Lost Tribes and the Legend of Jesus in India

More than three thousand years ago, on the destruction of their temple in Jerusalem, the two Jewish tribes that comprised the kingdom of Judah and the ten that constituted the kingdom of Israel were dispersed under the pressure of the invaders. The dispersion of the two Judean tribes is well recorded in the Bible and by historians of ancient times; but strangely, that of the ten tribes of Israel was either not recorded or was lost. This has remained one of history’s mysteries.
This book describes the various attempts to solve this mystery, and traces the possible candidates for consideration as descendants of the lost tribes in regions as far apart as Ethiopia, China and India—in Kashmir, Manipur and coastal Maharashtra.
An early legendary seeker for the ‘dispersed of Israel’ was Jesus of Nazareth. The author’s investigation leads him to interesting facts and legends concerning the likelihood that the 17 years of Jesus’ life unaccounted for in the Bible were spent in India and also advances the possibility that Jesus returned to India after surviving the crucifixion and of his ultimate death and burial at Rozabal in Kashmir.
