Was Csango founded by a Hungarian Jew?

Jewish labour camp...Mumbai shop, a daughter connects the dots (Indian Express)

A very interesting story about a Hungarian reporter's search for her grandfather who went missing during WWII. A visitor to their family shop in Budapest mentioned a store in Bombay with the same name - Csango - her family name. The Mumbai Csango had changed owners over the decades but she and her father managed to find out the name of the founder - the same name as her grandfather's grandfather.

They are currently trying to find out more details about the shop's founder by talking to old Jewish people in the city.
