PRE-ORDER NOW Mumbai : A Million Islands by Sidharth Bhatia
PRE-ORDER NOW - Published: 01/01/2026
Since the East India Company merged seven islands into Bombay (now Mumbai), change has been constant-but now it is used as a weapon for displacement, disguised as development. Slums are erased overnight to make way for luxury towers priced in tens of crores. The working class is pushed to the margins-literally-and into distant housing projects with no infrastructure, transport or sanitation. Entire communities are uprooted while a new Mumbai is built for the privileged few, behind closed gates, inside glass walls.Binding: Paperback / softback
