Explanation:

The introduction of railways in 1853 meant a change in the fortunes of towns. Economic activity gradually shifted away from the traditional towns which were located along old routes and rivers.

The English East India Company built its factories in important port towns like Madras, Calcutta and Bombay and because of competition among the European countries, fortified these settlements for protection. In Madras, Fort St George, in Calcutta Fort William and Mumbai Port marked the areas of British settlement.

The Borah Bazaar is in the Fort area, Bombay. As Bombay grew, even the fort area became congested. Traders, shopkeepers and service groups flowed into the area, numerous bazaars were established, and lofty structures came up. Worried by the congestion, the British made several attempts to push Indians out of the northern part of the Fort where the local communities had settled.
