Historian Dr Mridula Ramanna’s research is focused on health and medicine in colonial Bombay. Through the course of her work, she found that Hindi Punch, a bilingual journal published in the city from 1878 to 1930, had lots to say about public health. While surfing the Internet, she stumbled on the fifth Album of Cartoons from the issues of the Anglo-Gujarati monthly for the year 1904. A window into the social, cultural and political fabric of that period, the serio-comic edited by Barjorjee Nowrosjee piqued her interest.
