Vysoká škola: Univerzita Karlova Fakulta: Filozofická fakulta Akademický rok: 2009 / 2010 V Praze dne 1. 9. 2010 2 PODĚKOVÁNÍ Chtěla bych velmi poděkovat především vedoucí diplomové práce, Doc. PhDr. Jiřině Šedinové, CSc. Dále bych chtěla vyjádřit svůj dík i PhDr. Jaroslavu Strnadovi, PhD. z Orientálního ústavu Akademie věd ČR, Ing. Mgr. Lubomíru Ondračkovi z Ústavu Filozofie a religionistiky FFUK a rovněž indologu Mgr. Ondřeji Himmerovi za konzultaci a pomoc při přepisu indických slov.

V Číně děkuji Wang Fa-liangovi ze Shanghai Jewish Refugees´ Museum. 3 ANOTACE Diplomová práce se zabývá nejvlivnější rodinou ze skupiny Bagdádských Židů přišlých do Bombaje ve čtvrtině 19. století, rodinou Sassoonů. Cílem práce je mapovat její působení ve městě – uvnitř židovské komunity, mezi britskými kolonizátory i ve většinové společnosti; a především její celkový vliv na rozvoj samotného města, jakož i jeho obchodu a průmyslu. Práce se soustředí také na proměnu identity a postupnou sekularizaci komunity, i na její vztah k dalším menšinám.

The first is, that I consider its topic to be a useful object,lesson to the unfortunate people whom you have misled into thinking themselves a pure and superior "race" (whatever that may mean).
