Cotton Green, American Civil War and Rise of Bombay

"Cotton Green, the forgotten, nondescript station on the Harbour line of the Bombay suburban train network. But once, this area was the beating heat of Bombay. This week, in the third episode of Exploring your backyard, we take you to the story of the meteoric rise of Bombay, which had wide ranging causes, right from the American Civil War in the 1860's to the opening of the Suez Canal. Join us as we rediscover not only this forgotten station, but also Bombay's most neglected piece of heritage. Tune in, and find a simple way in which we could claim our forgotten heritage.
