About The Book Dongri Se Dubai Tak is a meticulously researched narrative about the mafia games of ambition and supremacy. This detailed and comprehensive book tells the tale of Mumbai's most notorious gangsters, where they come from and how they came to be what they eventually became. The first ever attempt to chronicle the history of Mumbai Mafia, Dongri Se Dubai Tak talks about gangsters like Haji Mastan, Karim Lala, Varadarajan, Chotta Rajan and Abu Salem. But the most well-known and sought-after character colouring the pages of this book is Dawood Ibrahim. His is the story of a police plan gone wrong. Dawood Ibrahim, ironically, the son of a police officer, started his criminal life as a pawn in the hands of the Mumbai police. In an unexpected twist, he went on to eliminate all the competition and rose to the top of the mafia ladder. Much to the woe of the very police that played him, he went on to become their nemesis. Dongri Se Dubai Tak marks several milestones in the criminal history of India, from the rise of the pathans to the first supari. It talks about the mafia's hand in Bollywood and Dawood's move to Karachi and the Pakistan's alleged role in sheltering one of our most-wanted criminals. This is a tale of a young boy's ambition, bravado and lust for power and a man's unyielding grip on this nation's psyche. This book was published by Manjul Publishing House Pvt. Ltd in the year 2013 and it is available in paperback.
