Why was professor gaitonde going to Mumbai
Answers
The reality is he was visiting in Bombay in coma. He met with an accident and went into a coma; during the time he was in coma, his consciousness experienced an experience of British India in which he saw a different Bombay. He also found history to be changed in which India had never ever become slave to the British. He also found that Marathas had defeated the troops of Abdali at Panipat.
The visit to Bombay was Professor Gaitonde’s adventure into different time and space through the door of his altered consciousness. There could have been many reasons behind his visit to Bombay. The first reason could have been meeting with his son Mr. Vinay Gaitonde; the second reason could have been going to the Bombay library to clear certain doubts about historical event of Battle of Panipat.
