On July 16, the Asiatic Society of Mumbai was the venue for a gathering of friends, scholars, and raconteurs remembering a fellow researcher, Jim Masselos (right). The Australian historian and researcher who passed away on June 24 in Sydney, was considered an authority on contemporary social history in India, especially Mumbai. The evening saw the Society along with Australian Consul-General Paul Murphy host a tribute to Masselos, alongside friends and peers.
