Bombaywalla Historical Works with Simin Patel (Case study)

The New York Times: The Parsis kept their promise to the Gujaratis. In the 17th century, they started settling in Bombay, when it was still just seven islands. They spearheaded the Indian industrial revolution by building the first steel mills and textile factories; they built ships and launched the country’s first airline; they used their wealth to endow hospitals, laboratories and schools. They were also the first to adopt the British game of cricket, and their extravagant musical theater productions paved the way for Bollywood.

In this episode, we have Dr. Simin Patel on Audiogyan. She is a historian by qualification, Simin runs her company Bombaywalla Historical Works which allows localities and travelers both, to discover Bombay of the bygone era. Be it her curated walks around the city’s photo studios or her passion for Mumbai’s Irani Cafes, nobody knows Bombay better than her!

Tune in to the episode as Simin talks to the host Kedar about how she chooses her subjects for 'Bombaywalla' along with some interesting stories. She also talks about the importance of documenting historic events and a lot more about Iranian cafes!
