Join Professor Ron Brown as he continues his popular travel series and explores the city of Bombay. For three thousand years Bombay, or today Mumbai, has flourished as one of the great cities of the world. Ancient Hindu, Buddhist, and Muslim emperors of India embellished the city with temples, pagodas, and mosques. In 1534 the Portuguese renamed the city, Bombay, which means Good Harbor and added it to their global empire that stretched from Macau in China to Brazil in South America. From the new city the spices, gold, gems, and artwork of Asia flowed into Europe. In 1662 the English seized the city and declared it their Gateway to India. Today the city of 23 million is one of the great cities of independent India. (Sponsored by the Friends of the Library)
