Description:Mumbai in the first decade of the 21st century is evidently on the threshold of a new and prosperous era. Having understood the city's strategic importance, economists are predicting a greater international role for it, while town-planners are working overtime to make it over, expecting an influx of new wealth. Paradoxically, however, intellectualism that this progressive, multi-cultural city had inherited is conspicuously in decline. Whether in social reform or in cultural renaissance, in literature or in performing arts, Mumbai has enjoyed an undisputed position of leadership for well over a century. Today it suffers form intellectual insolvency and cultural decay. The author, in a severe indictment of academics, media, writers and culture bearers, holds failure of intellectuals responsible for this malaise.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
