But before that, attend a lecture that journalist Siddharth Bhatia will give tomorrow, to gain some context. It’s part of a monthly series that the Bombay Local History Society has started to revive interest in Mumbai’s heritage, and Bhatia tells us, “My talk is going to centre on the actual creation and development of the street — why it came up and what came up there.”
