Maximum City Bombaj

The city’s contrasts and contradictions make it a perfect subject for a detailed exploration. I wonder how much of the narrative was shaped by personal experiences versus research.

The book covers so many aspects — from politics to everyday life — that I found myself wanting more context on certain events. Were there parts you felt could have been expanded?

It felt like a tapestry of individual lives intertwined with larger social forces. I’m curious whether this approach was planned from the start or evolved during the writing process.
