Shocked to read the sudden demise of Sharada Dwivedi the author and diligent chronicler of Mumbai's history. She was one of the founding members of the erstwhile Bombay Conservation Group and author of Bombay: The Cities Within, a trove of archival images, anecdotes and data about the city. Author and co-author of more than dozen books and most of them on the city's heritage structures and institutions, Dwivedi released her latest work, The Taj at Apollo Bunder and was working on tow more books. The city of Mumbai have lost a stalwart historian who was not only warm and generous but also a knowledgeable source of archival data and photograph's. Since she worked her whole life to create awareness about its heritage, with her sudden demise not only city of Mumbai but whole country have lost one of the best historian who will be remembered for long long time. May her soul rest in peace .
