Bombay Africans and Dr Livingstone’s Last Journey Exploring an explorer
Lady Nyasa, though frail, surprisingly succeeded in making a very long journey from Zambezi to Bombay carrying Dr David Livingstone, the well known Scottish explorer to Africa.
Nearly 178 years ago, Africa was called the Dark Continent by Europeans living in dark about the continent with little or no knowledge about its people or geography.
Dr Livingstone is a live subject. Since his death on May 1 1873, hardly a week passes when something or the other about him is not being researched. In one such exploration I found his very brief connection with Mumbai, then Bombay.
