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.

Abstract

For 25 years, while searching for Bombay’s public clocks, I have walked around the city as though looking for my daily fix. I now have a list of 87 that I have photographed. A significant percentage of these are in the Fort precinct – the original business district in old British Bombay where appointments must have been important and time might have been money. The rest are scattered and exist in clusters in the residential and mercantile localities through the city and the reasons for their existence range from desiring a landmark to serving the neighbourhood or simply to know when to pray to ones Gods. I have found clocks on cathedrals, mosques, agiaries and temples, at the city’s docks, in stadiums, in colleges, on drinking water fountains and residential tenements. These buildings stretched from the Sassoon Docks in Colaba, in south Bombay, to the northern suburb of Santacruz where I found a clock on the gable of the Bhagat family’s bungalow. I have since spotted clocks, of very recent vintage, scattered about in places like Parel (at a 5-star hotel), at residential gated communities in Kanjurmarg and Powai, and right on the periphery of Mumbai near the Mulund Toll Naka on the Eastern Express Highway – a local politician’s exercise in vanity.
