What did the Raja of Kochi grant to the Cochin Jews?

Verified Answer

The Raja of Kochi granted the Cochin Jews land free of cost "as long as the world, sun, and moon endure." This allowed them to settle in the region and build a synagogue to practise their faith. The Maharaja of Travancore also gave expensive gifts to the synagogue, showing respect.
