Kochi, formerly known as Cochin, is a city and port in the Indian state of Kerala. The culture of the city can be termed as predominantly South Indian. Residents of Kochi are known as Kochiites; they are an important part of the South Indian weltanschauung. However, the city's culture is rapidly evolving, with Kochiites generally becoming more cosmopolitan in their outlook.〔 〕 ==Historical influences== Kochi's culture was enriched by successive waves of migration over the course of several millennia. The city once had a large Jewish community that figured prominently in Kochi's business and economic strata.〔 〕 Known as the ''Malabar Yehuden''—and now increasingly as Cochin Jews—the community has now almost entirely migrated to Israel and the United States. Syrian Orthodoxy was the sole Christian tradition in Kochi for a long time.〔 〕 However, the Portuguese arrival in the 16th century, led to Roman Catholicism being a dominant force.〔 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「Culture of Kochi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
