About Rani Baug:
Rani Bagh 150 Years is so much more than a coffee table book. It is a historical record, natural history display book, citizens’ campaign dossier and loving tribute, all rolled into one. The thick-papered, glossy pages reveal a fascinating story of one garden’s journey through time, and its relationship with the city of Mumbai.
Edited by Hutokshi Rustomfram and Shubhada Nikharge, this collection of essays and photographs is part well-curated scrapbook, part biography of a green haven. The Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Udyan, previously known as Victoria Gardens and now popularly referred to as Rani Bagh, spreads across 53 acres in Byculla, in central Mumbai. As the city’s largest open green space and Mumbai’s only heritage botanical garden, it is enjoyed every day by thousands of ordinary citizens and predictably, also eyed greedily by officials, builders and developers so focussed on revenue that they can’t see the forest for the trees.
In fact, it is due to the municipal corporation’s outrageous plans to ‘redevelop’ Rani Bagh into an ‘international zoo’ that a strong, citizen-led campaign, of which this book is a product, was initiated. Shocked by a 2007 proposal to raze and reconstruct much of the area at a cost of Rs. 433 crores, a group of women banded together to form the ‘Save Rani Bagh Botanical Garden Committee’, co-publishers of the tome.
The book, published on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Rani Bagh, has woven together chapters authored by a diverse set of individuals, each of whom is deeply involved with the subject. The editing is tight, the book well-structured, and the rhythm of the meticulously researched text doesn’t drop at any point. It might have fewer stunning, large format photographs than other coffee table books, but as is apparent once you start leafing through it, it is much more than a pretty face. Each author’s individual voice remains intact while sharing a common disdain for the plans that threaten the Bagh’s heritage architecture and ancient trees. The book is peppered with plain-speak, occasionally tinged with sarcasm and tenuously restrained anger. Officials are almost ridiculed, with a patina of respect for their grandiose ideas (that included a glass-walled fine dining area and an artificial Indian Ocean) and their outright denial of the existence of a botanical garden.
