According to Kapoor, his mother had an Indian-Jewish upbringing, her father being the cantor of the synagogue in Pune. At this time, Baghdadi Jews constituted the majority of the Jewish community in Mumbai. His father, from a Hindu Punjabi family, was a hydrographer in the Indian Navy. Kapoor is the brother of Canada-based academic Ilan Kapoor.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Acknowledgements in The Postcolonial Politics of Development )〕 Kapoor himself is Jewish.〔BBC News (Anish Kapoor's Dirty Corner sculpture vandalised again ) 9/7/2015〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anish Kapoor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
