India to rediscover its real treasure of Adventures
| Mumbai (known as
Bombay
until
1995) is a natural harbor on the west coast of India, and is the capital
city of Maharashtra state. It is India's largest city, and one of the world's
most populous cities. It is called the commercial capital of India. It
has the Bombay Stock Exchange and all major financial trading is done here.
Located on the West Coast of India, the groups of islands which have grown
into the city of Mumbai, was probably first recorded as the home of fisherfolk
where a group of Buddhist monks established an outpost late during the
Magadhan empire. The islands were tossed from one king to another emperor
for two millennia, until the maritime trade empire of the British decided
to develop the natural harbour into a city. In the four hundred years since
then, the city has grown by a series of land reclamations which now link
the original islands into one mass. |

Mumbai was given by Portuguese
as dowry to Charles II of England when he married Catherine. The group
of seven islands was leased to the East India Company who offered freedom
of business and religion to persons who came and settled here. Initially
a few Parsis and Gujarati came but soon a sizeable population began to
thrive here.
| This was way back in the
17th century. Today also Mumbai is a city of migrants. People from all
over the country have come and settled here. This gives the society of
Mumbai a multi-lingual and multi-cultural color.
History of Mumbai:
The Great Indian Peninsular
Railway facilitated travel within India. This network of commerce and communication
led to an accumulation of wealth.
Mumbai Places to See:
