Description
xThis is the story of Mazagon, once an island inhabited by Kolis, Bhandaris and Agris. It remained so under the Portuguese, fetching them the highest revenue among all the islands of Bombay. Falling into British hands through a disputed dowry deed, Mazagon retained its identity as an island for many more years with its own fort, dock, churches and even a gunpowder factory.
"I am sure any citizen of Bombay, especially those of my generation, will be most interested in the facts you have told us about in your book." — Zubin Mehta
