Book excerpt: NEW PRINT WITH PROFESSIONAL TYPE-SET IN CONTRAST TO SCANNED PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS By-Ways Of Bombay This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from By-Ways of Bombay The various chapters of this book originally appeared under the nom-de-plume of "Etonensis" in the Times of India, to the proprietors of which journal I am indebted for permission to publish them in book-form. They cannot claim to be considered critical studies, but are merely a brief record of persons whom I have met and of things that I have seen during several years service as a Government official in Bombay. In placing them before the public in their present form, I can only hope that they will be found of brief interest by those unacquainted with the inner life of the City of Bombay. Preface To The Second Edition. The first edition of "By-ways of Bombay" having been sold out within a month, Messrs Taraporevala Sons and Co. have interested themselves in publishing the present edition which includes several illustrations by Mr. M. V. Dhurandhar and an additional article on the Tilak Riots which appeared in the Bombay Gazette in August, 1908. My acknowledgments are due to the Editor for permission to republish this article.

Download or read book Bombay Islam written by Nile Green and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-21 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a thriving port city, nineteenth-century Bombay attracted migrants from across India and beyond. Nile Green's Bombay Islam traces the ties between industrialization, imperialism and the production of religion to show how Muslim migration fueled demand for a wide range of religious suppliers, as Christian missionaries competed with Muslim religious entrepreneurs for a stake in the new market. Enabled by a colonial policy of non-intervention in religious affairs, and powered by steam travel and vernacular printing, Bombay's Islamic productions were exported as far as South Africa and Iran. Connecting histories of religion, labour and globalization, the book examines the role of ordinary people - mill hands and merchants - in shaping the demand that drove the market. By drawing on hagiographies, travelogues, doctrinal works, and poems in Persian, Urdu and Arabic, Bombay Islam unravels a vernacular modernity that saw people from across the Indian Ocean drawn into Bombay's industrial economy of enchantment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Plague in Bombay Tue _plague of 1896-97 forms an incident of grave importance in the history of the city, and copious records will no doubt soon be published, with facts, figures and a vast multitude of small particulars so as to make such works as complete as possible, and, indeed, very valuable to a student of the subject. It is a question, however, if such records are equally interesting to the general reader. Dry details with labyrinths of figures and long disquisitions have a tendency to pall upon the reader, and only a few can be found with patience enough to read such books through.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bombay Place-Names and Street-Names: An Excursion Into the by-Ways of the History of Bombay City This little book has been many years in preparation, and is at last published only because no one else appears to have devoted sufficient time and attention to a subject of which only the fringe has here been touched and which seems to me to be of interest and some importance. A book of this kind ought really to be published only after prolonged research into old leases and deeds. That is beyond my powers but I have none the less thought my less recondite work may be of service. It has steadily grown in scope since I started it as an inquiry into the reason why various English surnames have been given to Bombay roads, but the development has only been possible with the assistance of many gentlemen who have the gift of tongues which has been denied to the author-compiler. Among the many friends whom I have to thank for valued assistance are the Hon. Mr. P. R. Cadell, Mr. S. M. Edwardes (from whose writings also I have freely stolen), Mr. J. P. Orr, the Rev. E. R. Hull, S. J., Mr. R. P. Karkaria, Dr. Jivanji Jamshedji Modi, Mr. R. P. Masani, Rao Bahadur P. B. Joshi, and Mr. Kaikhushroo Pestonji Bhedwar. Mr. Karkaria in particular has been of great assistance to me and has taken the trouble to visit many streets where the origin of the names was doubtful. The method followed needs some explanation. When only one theory is put forward to account for the origin of a name I have not as a rule stated from whom that theory has been obtained, and by this means, if I appear to gain the credit for many ingenious derivations, I can also bear the blame for any grievous faults that may have crept in. When my authorities have conflicted I have usually stated who they are, and the public which pays its money for the book may take its choice as to which derivation is likely to be the more correct. If any family history has been misrepresented I offer my apologies in advance to any who may feel hurt, for I have not wilfully put down anything intended to reflect on anyone's ancestry or history.

And above all the roar of life broods the echo of the call to prayer in honour of Allah, the All-Powerful and All-Pitiful, the Giver of Life and Giver of Death..
