Join us on this 10-part journey as we decode, the rise of Bombay

In the third episode of Bombay Born, I revisit 1857 in Mumabai. Bombay largely remained quiet, but there were a few cases of conspiracy in the army. I revisit that case in some detail, with details of how it was dealt with by the Governor and the Chief of Police at the time. I also look at the life in the Maidan, where the Parsees would often gather for leisure and participate in a number of amusing entertainments. Along the way, I recall the rise of the early Indian leaders of the Bombay society, most of whom were financiers and bankers and made a name following their collaboration with various European trading firms.
