India: Statue of merchant and leader of the Jewish community in Bombay, David Sassoon (1792 - 1864), Sassoon Library, Kala Ghoda, Fort, Mumbai.

Following the persecution of Baghdad's Jews by Daud Pasha, the family moved to Bombay via Persia. Sassoon was in business in Bombay no later than 1832, originally acting as a middleman between British textile firms and Gulf commodity merchants.
