Product Description
During the early 19th century, Bombay was a haven for people from various communities, such as Goans and Mangaloreans, seeking a new home and means of sustenance. These migrants settled around churches and markets, coexisting with the native East Indians and sharing their land and resources. While elders pushed their young towards marriage, parenthood, and spiritual enlightenment, the youths often succumbed to desires of the heart, leading to tumultuous relationships like that of Annette, Benji, and Joe or Michael, Merlyn, and Ellena. With a cast of lovers and enemies, friends and relatives, married and single individuals, churchgoers and those who abstained, Bombay Balchao is a complex and relatable account of commonplace lives.
