In Mumbai you'll often hear Bandra referred to as "the Queen of suburbs", but the streets of this neighbourhood have always held their own allure. Once a collection of sleepy fishing villages, it has been, at various junctures, a refuge for the city's Catholics, Bollywood's playground, a hipster hidey-hole and today, a patch of rampant redevelopment with prices to rival South Bombay. Bandra is all of these things and it is also the subject of Motherland's 14th issue.
