Modern Mumbai – Walking through the 20th Century

Release of ASM Journal Volume 92

We are happy to share with you that on 26 th November 2024, on the occasion of the 220 th Foundation Day of the Asiatic, the Society has released Volume 92 of the ASM Journal. This is the latest volume of the journal released by the Society. The editors of the journal are Professor Madhu Kelkar and Professor Usha R Vijailakshmi. It has come to the Society's notice that some unscrupulous elements are collecting money for publishing papers in the Society's Journal and are offering bogus certificates. Some of the candidates had mailed these certificates to the Society. These certificates carry the names of the editors of previous volumes. The Asiatic Society does not collect money for publishing research papers in its journal, nor does it guarantee publication, and most importantly it does not 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. We do not publish the journal online.

Modern Mumbai - Walking through the 20th century

Explore Mumbai’s most iconic neighbourhood on a walking tour that unearths its hidden histories – the stories that lie behind, around, and within, the buildings, streets and spaces so familiar to us today.

Beginning with city improvements and development following the deadly Plague epidemic of the late 19th century, this walk highlights critical moments in the making of modern Mumbai. From the high of Art Deco to darker, largely untold, histories of corruption, appropriation and inefficiency, from grating missed opportunities in urban planning post-independence to our on-going romance with reclamation, this walk explores planning, architecture and roads not taken in the building of the city we experience today.
Route: Mumbai University - Oval Maidan - Art Deco precinct - Marine Drive - Nariman Point
