Abstract: *Into The Rose Garden: The Afterlife of Mumbai Mills* explores the transformation of Mumbai’s once-vibrant textile mills, delving into their cultural, economic, and social impact. Through episodic chapters, the book examines the lives of workers, entrepreneurs, and communities, blending oral histories and archival research. It highlights the mills’ decline and repurposing into real estate, cultural spaces, and commercial hubs, symbolizing post-independence India’s changing dynamics. Beyond nostalgia, it critically reflects on how these spaces continue to shape Mumbai’s urban identity and collective memory. The work recognizes the contributions of historians, planners, and mill workers, uncovering the city’s ongoing evolution.
