Mumbai Gangwar

This is the story of Mumbai—a story of an era that the city witnessed. It is a tale of ruthless ambition, the underworld dons who ruled Mumbai, their rivals, and the hostility that grew between them. It recounts the murders and violent rivalries that followed, as well as the fearless police officers who risked their lives to fulfil their duty and the politicians who held the reins of power over them.

This is also the story of gold and silver smuggling, pickpockets and black-market ticket sellers, illegal gambling rackets, women trapped in prostitution, pimps, illicit country liquor bubbling away over makeshift stoves in Dharavi, and charas and ganja hidden in leather warehouses.

It is the story of people who dream of achieving great things through shortcuts, and of ordinary families in Mumbai who bear the brunt of this ruthless world.

The belief that "to put an end to the struggle of survival, one needs money—lots of money—and since it cannot be earned honestly, one must take crooked paths" gives rise to the world of illegal businesses. And no matter how dirty this business may be, once a person becomes addicted to it, escaping its grip is nearly impossible.

A novel that may appear to be fiction on the surface, but subtly confronts readers with the harsh realities of life.
