Mumbra : “Mumbra, a Muslim majority area, has developed into a town which has its own significant identity. While it was marred with continuous bad news in the past, it did not hold back and grew into a promising area which developed economically, politically and socially in recent years. It also managed to break the shackles of old tags. We would like to do in-depth stories on how it grew from ‘rags to riches’.” Says Danish Reyaz, Managing Director of Maeeshat Media Pvt. Ltd.
He said, “In last one and half decades, it was accepted as ‘abode of peace’, the educated population is migrating here, while small business individuals consider it ‘an affordable business platform’, yet, traditional seers and intellectuals could ‘not changes its thinking pattern’ nor did they try to ‘revive’ it.
This issue is aimed at documenting the old ethos of Mumbra- Kausa, while looking into its prospect for future.” He further said, “Maeeshat brought out many valuable publications in the past that not only helped encouraging new and small businesses to grow but also created a strategy to the top. Now, Maeeshat is blazing all its guns to bring a desirable issue on Mumbra.” Talking about the cover title of the issue, he said, “The tentative cover title of the issue is ‘Mumbra : from ship-making to Muslim majority area’. Either Umar Masjid of Wafa Park or Darul Falah will feature on its cover page; things will be finalized after discussion with the creative team.”
