Armenians in India
Armenian presence in India grew historically and culturally important beginning in the eighteenth century, when Armenians from the commercial center of New Julfa and Isfahan, Iran, emigrated there. Presses established both in Madras and Calcutta served the community that thrived until the mid-nineteenth century and had all but disappeared by the turn of the twentieth century. Volume II of Thomas Khojamalian’s two-volume History of India opens with a discussion on “When and How Europeans began to arrive in India.”
