Описание: In Musicophilia in Mumbai Tejaswini Niranjana traces the place of Hindustani classical music in Mumbai throughout the long twentieth century as the city moved from being a seat of British colonial power to a vibrant postcolonial metropolis. Drawing on historical archives, newspapers, oral histories, and interviews with musicians, critics, students, and instrument makers as well as her own personal experiences as a student of Hindustani classical music, Niranjana shows how the widespread love of music throughout the city created a culture of collective listening that brought together people of diverse social and linguistic backgrounds. This culture produced modern subjects Niranjana calls musicophiliacs, whose subjectivity was grounded in a social rather than an individualistic context. By attending concerts, learning instruments, and performing at home and in various urban environments, musicophiliacs embodied forms of modernity that were distinct from those found in the West. In tracing the relationship between musical practices and the formation of the social subject, Niranjana opens up new ways to think about urbanity, subjectivity, culture, and multiple modernities.

Описание: Working in Mumbai is a critical reflection on thirty years of the practice of RMA Architects. Rahul Mehrotra weaves a narrative to connect his multiple engagements in architectural practice, including teaching, research, documenting, writing and exhibiting since the establishment of the practice in 1990. The book is structured around the subjects of interior architecture, critical conservation, and work and living spaces that straddle the binaries of the global and the local as well as the rural and the urban. While the book is a portfolio of the selected works of RMA Architects, the projects are curated so as to unravel and clarify the challenges faced by architects in India and in several parts of the "majority" world where issues related to rapid urbanization and the impacts of global capital are among the many that dispute conventional models of practice. Working in Mumbai is used emblematically to interrogate the notion of context and understand how the practice evolved through its association with the city of Bombay/Mumbai.
Author Santosh Kothari, age 78, a successful professional structural consulting engineer and a successful real estate developer and investor, looks back at the time of his childhood in Mumbai (Bombay), India. The period of this book is 1942-1964. This period begins during world war II and India's independence from 200 years of British Colonial rule and ends with his arrival in United States.
It was a unique period of transition from old to new. There was very little personal transportation-cars, motorbikes, and scooters were rarely used by anyone except the very rich. Even ownership of bikes was not that common. Electricity was available only in big cities and only in prosperous areas. Personal visits were the popular method of conducting relations and business. The postal service and telegraphs were the popular methods of communication. Phones were very scarce and unaffordable.
Most people lived in combined families where two to three generations lived together. Everything was shared. This period was a simpler, more peaceful, more leisurely, and less stressful time. The Indian population was about a quarter of today's population. There was lot more greenery in cities; a lot more open space; a lot less crowding; a lot less competition; and a lot less greed. That time is gone, forever.
Take a trip thru this unique period with the author to discover a different world and to reminisce about your own childhood. The cover with various shades of yellow and baby picture of author evokes innocence, optimism and curiosity of a child. The brown and gray antique look brings back memory of an era long gone. You will find unexpected information throughout. For example, in:
- Chapters 2, 11 and 21, experience traveling in Indian trains.
- Chapter 3, learn something new about World War I, World War II and Indian Independence struggle.
- Chapter 4, enjoy Diwali, the biggest holiday in India.
- Chapters 6 and 12, read about my village, role of animals in village, and delicious Indian Fruits.
- Chapters 7, 8, 9 and 18, get a glimpse of life in Mumbai Chawls which is similar to life of millions around the world.
- Chapter 10, read about uniquely Indian games and sports.
- Chapter 13, read and almost taste Indian Marwari regional food from Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
- Chapters 14 and 15, romance and Bollywood are inseparable in India.
- Chapter 19, a personal tragic accident resulted from unsafe conditions that attract very little attention in India.
- Chapter 22, describes Indian caste system and how India has handled discrimination.
- Chapter 26, join the author on a trip of twelve locations in North part of India on a seventeen days trip covering four thousand miles by Indian trains and read a short history of India connected to these places.
- Chapter 27, read how author got a great Icon of Indian Film Industry, Prithvi Raj Kapoor, to make an appearance at a fund-raising event organized by author at his college, at no cost, at age 19.
- Chapters 30, 31 and 32, read about author's arranged marriage, still strong after 56 years. Hindu marriage rituals are explained. These rituals may hold the secret of why very few Indian marriages result in divorce.
- Chapter 34 is a "Must Read" for anyone who is curious why superman and Loise Lane are in title.

Описание:
Mumbai's textile industry is commonly but incorrectly understood to be an extinct relic of the past. In The Archive of Loss Maura Finkelstein examines what it means for textile mill workers—who are assumed not to exist—to live and work during a period of deindustrialization. Finkelstein shows how mills are ethnographic archives of the city where documents, artifacts, and stories exist in the buildings and in the bodies of workers. Workers' pain, illnesses, injuries, and exhaustion narrate industrial decline; the ways in which they live in tenements exist outside and resist the values expounded by modernity; and the rumors and untruths they share about textile worker strikes and a mill fire help them make sense of the industry's survival. In outlining this archive's contents, Finkelstein shows how mills, which she conceptualizes as lively ruins, become a lens through which to challenge, reimagine, and alter ways of thinking about the past, present, and future in Mumbai and beyond.

Описание: While ports are traditionally considered national infrastructure sites that connect states to global markets, special economic zones and past free ports are portrayed as threats to national sovereignty. This book calls these narratives into question as it explores the history of planning Mumbai’s ports and free zones during periods of global and regional transition from the British Raj, to national independence, to economic liberalization. The book opens with a study of an unsuccessful plan hatched by merchants in 1833 to make Bombay a free port to deal with an emerging British India and the advent of free trade. The book ends with how India’s current special economic zones and emphasis on port expansion are part of broader goals to reposition India in transregional Asian trade, to connect Mumbai with northern India, and to enact local plans for a global city that threaten the very port that first connected Mumbai to the world. To understand the functionality of these port and zone projects beyond typical policy prescriptions, this book proposes portals of globalization as a spatial format that fosters processes of reterritorialization.
