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.
