About the Book: Home in the City
Taraporevalas arresting photographs, cutting across class and community lines,
are an insiders affectionate view of the city she considers home. Capturing life
in Bombay/Mumbai from 1977 to the present day, the images—complex and intimate,
quirky and quotidian—celebrate the odd and everyday character of a city as its
shape shifted over four decades. With illuminating write-ups by Pico Iyer and
Salman Rushdie, as well as a candid conversation between Taraporevala and
Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi, the works in this book are a significant, original
contribution to the social history of one of Indias most diverse cities.
