Moshe Goldstein 4 (End)

13th February 1659 

The international market of Thiruvananthapuram 

A middle-aged Jewish man wearing a yamaka is standing on the balcony of a beverage shop located directly at the entrance of the busiest street in the market town of Thiruvananthapuram. 

"Amazing!" 

Looking at the scene in front of him, Moshe Goldstein couldn't help but be amazed. In front of him were hundreds, if not thousands of fellow Europeans visiting the Bharatiya businesses with extreme eagerness and restlessness on their faces, almost as if they couldn't wait to kick the person in front of them to get into the shop earlier so that they could procure the stock more Quickly.
