The Kolis, earliest inhabitants of the city when it was still an archipelago, have shaped the city. They helped landfill the sea waters between the islands and make the seven islands into a city. However, as the juggernaut of urbanisation rolls on and development plans conjure up a grand material vision of the city, the Kolis are getting the short shrift. The natural breeding grounds of fishes have been affected by projects, koliwadas are categorised as slums, and the Kolis are struggling to hold on to their livelihood, tradition and heritage. To prevent erasure, documentation of the existing 30-odd koliwadas and their inhabitants became important; this is our protest against the unsustainable urbanisation, write two archivists from the community.

There is no logic that can be superimposed on the city; people make it, and it is to them, not buildings, that we must fit our plans.
