Nariman Karkaria (1894 –1949) joined the British Army during the First World War and saw action on three different fronts. His Gujarati war memoir, Rangbhoomi par Rakhad, was published in 1922. His second book, Iranbhoomi par Rakhad (1925), is an account of his year-long rambles in Iran.

Murali Ranganathan is a Mumbai-based historian and translator. He researches on the history of the nineteenth century, with a special focus on Mumbai and western India. His translation, from Marathi, of the iconic Mumbaiche Varnan was published in 2008 as Govind Narayan’s Mumbai: An Urban Biography from 1863.
