Abstract: *Dongri to Dubai: Six Decades of the Mumbai Mafia* chronicles the rise and fall of Mumbai’s notorious criminal empire, spanning over six decades. The book details the evolution of key mafia figures, from early dons like Baashu and Mastan to Dawood Ibrahim’s global criminal empire. It explores the violent turf wars, the mafia’s links to Bollywood, and the 1993 bombings. In its second part, the narrative follows Dawood’s transformation into an international fugitive, his connections with global terrorism, and the law enforcement’s pursuit. Through rich historical context, it reveals the complex interplay of crime, politics, and culture in modern India.
