Virtually Mumbai

Release of ASM Journal Volume 91

We are happy to share with you that on 25^th November 2023, on the occasion of the Foundation Day of the Asiatic, the Society has released Volume 91 of the ASM Journal. It has come to the Society's notice that some unscrupulous elements are collecting money for publishing papers in the Society's Journal and offering bogus certificates. The Asiatic Society does not collect money for publishing in its journal, nor does it guarantee publication, and neither does it issue any certificate. Authors must verify with the Society before submitting any papers, and papers will be published only after rigorous peer review and editing. The Society does not take responsibility for any payments made to third parties claiming to represent the Society, or for their papers appearing in a cloned/spam journal. Ours is a print-only journal.

The Mumbai Research Centre of the Asiatic Society of Mumbai is inviting you to a virtual walk for age group 12-15.

Sunday, June 6
11:00 am - 1:00 pm
12 - 15 year olds

Virtually Mumbai
Meet me online in Mumbai's historic city centre for a journey through the last 350 years! From the original islands of Bombay, we travel to a fortified trading outpost soon transformed by Opium and a daring process of land reclamation into a grand, colonial core built to declare the town then known as Bombay a global powerhouse and the ‘first city’ of India. Then, we zoom away to crowded working class neighbourhoods hidden from view by this showcase city and devastated by the Bubonic Plague at the end of the 19th century; finally we bask in the optimism of the early 20th century and a modernising city on the verge of Indian Independence. This whirlwind tour with a virtual twist is Mumbai's story - good, bad, funny, and mostly ugly - all from the comfort of home.
