Description

About The Book: The author perceives this book as their final contribution to the historical account of Old Bombay. The author reflects on Bombay's transient nature, where inhabitants come and go, resulting in a lack of continuity. They lament the loss of significant landmarks and monuments, citing the plague and insufficient tourist attractions as reasons. They emphasize the importance of preserving cultural heritage, protecting remaining relics, and expanding points of interest. Government House is now a plague hospital, and other buildings have undergone transformations or demolitions. The author highlights the need for written records and suggests popularizing Bombay Castle and the Hall of Audience.The author acknowledges the enduring reputations of Clive, Nelson, and Wellington, whose legacies transcend physical monuments. They celebrate the everlasting beauty of Bombay's nature, including the sea, sky, and hills, as a source of joy for future generations.
