Mumbai, India, 1940s

This footage was taken in the late 1940s in Mumbai (then Bombay), when my wife's grandfather returned to India.
It was digitized and posted in 2012 at my now-defunct other channel, and is being reposted here.

Can I use it in my documentary?

[@JDDeLuzio]

Let me speak with my wife's family, and I will get back to you. Credit to her grandfather (who took the footage) and the channel would be required.

[@JDDeLuzio]

Go ahead. The footage was taken by Dr. W.R. Quinn. Please post a link when it is completed.

And then came Shivsena

[@eshaansarkar2017]

I am not from Maharashtra, but from West Bengal, so obviously I don't get what you want to say. Can you please elaborate and enlighten me?

[@ericbana191]

​@@eshaansarkar2017shivsena is a political party like BJP. But it's influence is mostly limited to Maharashta. Look up it's history, prob that'll help.

[@andrzejjarosawski29]

plenty of anti-immigrant rhetoric anad maharashtrian hindu far right wing politics. Led to riots, kllings, and persecution of non maharashtrians.@@eshaansarkar2017

문명이 후퇴했네. 예전 사람들이 더 풍요롭고 자유로워.

Seriously debatable. As in, mostly incorrect. But the wealthy had a better time of things, true.
