Oceans have always existed at the edge of human imagination, invoking awe, fear, and the lure of the unknown; all at the same time. A body of historical scholarship on oceans has attempted to counter this myopic vision of human history by foregrounding the concurrent, coeval, and continuous nature of oceanic connections and their deep imbrications with territorial histories. In the context of raging identity politics, resurgent nationalism, and rising exclusionary politics on the one hand and globalisation, world systems theory and planetarity on the other, it is important to revisit the term cosmopolitanism. Oceanic thought can be interpreted in myriad ways but has mostly been used to push the limits of territorial and anthropocentric historicising to encapsulate oceanic fluviality, its deep temporality, its multiplex and multitudinous biology, and their environmental ramifications. There is speculation that the city of Mumbai may be reclaimed by the sea by 2050.
