About the Book

shanta Gokhale draws upon a variety of sources accounts of chroniclers, residents and conquerors; memoirs, novels, anecdotes and conversational paint an intimate and compelling portrait of one of Mumbai oldest and most vibrant neighborhoods. one of the earliest planned neighbourhood of Bombay, Shivaji Park in Dakar was conceived in order to decongest the mega city’s residential and commercial centre after the plague epidemic of 1896. With its massive playground named after the Maratha warrior king, gorgeous art deco buildings and the great Arabian sea beyond, Shivaji Park was a coveted residential area long before Bandra and Juju. In this little gem of a biography, Shanta Gokhale, author, cultural critic and long-time resident of the area, brings together key events and individuals to create a matchless portrait of the neighbourhood. Through her conversations with friends and neighbours, she relives the thrill and novelty of moving from corn-gested chawl to flats that ensured privacy and the unheard-of luxury of piped gas back in the 1930s. She recalls the politically charged decades of the 1950s and ’60s, when br.K. Atre’s voice reverberated through the grounds of Shiva Park during the United Maharashtra movement and Bal Thackeray launched the Shiv sena. She also writes of the illustrious people who have contributed to the cultural fabric of Shiva Park: The freedom fighter Senapati Bapat; town planner N.V. Modak; classical musician sharadchandra arolkar; veteran actress sulabha Deshpande; and cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod kambli, among others. The designated playground of the neighbourhood, she argues, is also one of the city’s most democratic spaces where hundreds walk every morning and evening in the shade of tall and gracious trees; where people young and old gather around the ‘Katha’ to talk politics or share a moment of love. And even as she celebrates the grace and spirit of Shiva Park, Gokhale also notes how, despite the best efforts of its residents
