Led by experts in archi- tecture and art history, the Horniman Circle Walk takes in a host of sights including the Asiatic Library, the Mumbai Samachar Marg (Asia’s oldest stock exchange), and St. Thomas Cathedral—all in just two hours.

    The Best Bookshops in Mumbai, India blogs.lse.ac.uk/lsereviewofbooks/2017/03/24/the-best-bookshops-in-mumbai-india/ 2017-3-24 Georgie Carroll takes us on a tour of the best bookshops in Mumbai, India. If there’s a bookshop that you think other students and academics should visit when they’re undertaking research or visiting a city for a conference, further information about contributing follows this article. The Best Bookshops in Mumbai, India Image Credit: Britannia & Co. Ballard Estate, Mumbai (iranichaimumbai CC BY SA 2.0) Ballard Estate in South Mumbai is made of excavated soil from the building of what is now Indira Dock. The low- lying, marshy land on the eastern waterfront was filled, flattened and formed into what is a century-old business district, owned by the Mumbai Port Trust (MPT). Its uniform neoclassical architecture inspired its description by Mumbaikars as ‘London-like’, the European-style facades flashing between the foliage of tall rain trees and gulmohars. The Estate was designed by George Wittet, who envisaged the Gateway of India and the Prince of Wales Museum, and was part of the late-nineteenth-century British movement of Indo-Gothic architecture. Once a bustling commercial district, Ballard Estate is now relatively tranquil although some major businesses still hold their administrative branches there. After dusk it famously becomes ‘a ghost town’, thought to have something of the film noir about it – a location for smoke and chiaroscuro and jewel thieves in motorcars, perhaps. Ballard Estate is one of the youngest parts of the city, and it reeks of the nostalgia of a fading Bombay.

  • BOMBAY Story of the Island City
    BOMBAY Story of the Island City By A. D. PUSALKER & V. G. DIGHE -~INDIA ORIENTAL CONFERENCE BOMBAY. 1949 BOMBAY Story <:>f the Island-City. By A. D. PUSALKER & V. G. DIGHE ALL INDIA OltiEN'l'AL CONFERENCE BOMBAY. 1 9 .4 9 Printed bJ G. G. Patbue at 'l'be Popular Pna (Bom.) Ltd., ....~ 7 Uld Publlabed .., the Local s-.r,., All Jndla OrieDtal Confennce, Town Hall, Bombay 1. PRICE IUIPBES '!:. PREFACE The rise and growth of Bombay present interesting problems to a student of history. While the city has been built in comparatively modern times the formation of the island and its rock temples arouse the interest of the geologist and the antiquarian. The history of the island upto 1500 A.D. is not very eventful; this tropical island and its native population slumbered in peaceful repose till the first European set foot on its soil and set in train forces which transformed it into one of the largest cities in the East and made it the beehive of commerce and industry. How this transformation was wrought, what factors contributed to it, has been narrated in the pages that follow. The object of the book as the title explains is to narrate the story of the island city in simple outline. The main sources of information are Edwardes' Rise of Bombay and the statistical Account of the town and island of Bombay based on old Government records and prepared for the Bombay Gazetteer. Other sources have also been consulted. The account of research institutes in the city will, it is hoped, interest Orientalists and Historians.
