The book details the life and public career of one of Bombays and Indias legendary individuals. Born of humble origins, Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy was a merchant-prince of Bombay, an influential citizen, and one of Indias greatest philanthropists. An ambitious and canny individual, Jejeebhoy carved out a place under British colonialism for himself and the early Indian commercial class, and notwithstanding many challenges, his efforts are testament to Indian ingenuity under colonialism.
