Denis Rodrigues is a self-proclaimed “Bandra bugger” and a thoroughbred Bandra-phile. Born and raised in Mumbai’s coziest suburb or Ranwar village to be more specific, Rodrigues has always been interested in Bandra’s background, its history and development. The septuagenarian, who retired after working in the rural development sector, has been researching his neighbourhood for 10 years. In a talk this evening, he plans to share the political sociology of Bandra from 1548-1848.
