The city of Mumbai is growing and ever evolving and no matter how much we claim to know about this island, there’s more to it. The Mumbai Research Centre of the Asiatic Society of Mumbai is conducting a series of online sessions for six days on the history of the city titled The Logy Of Mumbai. The lecture will be conducted by Dr Kurush Dalal who is an archaeologist, historian and culinary anthropologist. 

He explains why the session is called the Logy of Mumbai, “When we have a name for any subject we have the word ‘logy’ at the end — Geology, Biology. So, what does it mean? The word comes from the ancient Greek word ‘Logos’, which means study. The word ‘logy’ has been taken with a hyphen before it, and Logy of Mumbai are ways we can look at the city through the lens of different sciences and subjects.”
