There's a board especially for 'foreign' queries ...

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,421.0.html

... if you post your query again on there, calling it something like 'India ... Menase surname' ... you might attract the attention of someone who knows ??

Just a thought !

Good luck !

If you google MENASHE  ISRAELI, you will find that the name is from an Indian Israeli tribe ( possibly the tribe of Menasseh.   )

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bnei_Menashe

familysearch.org has record of Mennesse,  Meneses  from Wellington, New Zealand.  There are various other similar spellings. Just put in the surname "Menase" and "New Zealand " in familysearch.org and you will see them.
Hope this helps!:)
