Description
On the shores of the Arabian Sea rises a bustling metropolis which has been the central focus of empire builders and adventurers, filibusters and freebooters, visionaries and philosophers. The legend of Bombay (now known as Mumbaii) has grown, as the city of gold, as the Mecca for dreamers and the home of the brave. Today it is a city of 14.5 million people. It is a storehouse of the nation's talent, a city seething with energy, ideas and opportunities. Illustrious names in Indian cinema and art, dance and music, theatre and literature have been nutured here. It has become the crime and business capital of India. This book allows the reader to explore the alchemy of a metropolis that draws the gifted and challenges the intelligent. It shows a city that has grown with grace but has refused to show signs of ageing.
