The Bombay Poetry Crawl
What & Why?
Preserving the legacy of Bombay poets
The Bombay Poetry Crawl (TBPC) is a dedicated archival research space focusing on Bombay poets who wrote about the city from 1947-1999 in various languages including Hindi, Marathi, English, Urdu, Gujarati, Tamil, and more.

TBPC offers seamless integration with different platforms, providing a unique opportunity to explore and experience the linguistic and cultural diversity of Bombay through the lens of poetry, offering a deeper understanding of the city's rich heritage.
