Item description

“The Making of Mumbai” is a concise and succinctly well-written book by Msgr. Benny Aguiar. It encompasses Pre-Portuguese, Portuguese, the Maratha and the British period.

This book also brings out the Catholic past of Bombay. In the 1700’s a conflict within the Portuguese rulers of Bombay caused a deep division in the Catholic community. This arose between Padroadists and Propagandists.

The book delves into the evolution of the Catholic community in Bombay. It explains how the transition from one period to another, Portuguese to English to Maratha, led to a decline and then to a revival and formation of a vibrant Catholic Community.

The Making of Mumbai” makes an excellent coffee-table book enriching one with invaluable information about the past Mumbai.

Since the book talks about Bombay, its history and growth, the Portuguese and British rule that has left behind religious, social, cultural and linguistic impact on the people one would say this is a must-read book for the citizen of Mumbai and for the students of History -- a collector’s book for posterity.
