About Mumbai
Mumbai also known as Bombay is the capital city of the Indian state of Maharashtra and the de facto financial centre of India. Mumbai is the second-most populous city in India after Delhi and the eighth-most populous city in the world with a population of roughly 20 million.
The seven islands that constitute Mumbai were earlier home to communities of Marathi language speaking Koli people.For centuries, the seven islands of Bombay were under the control of successive indigenous rulers before being ceded to the Portuguese Empire, and subsequently to the East India Company in 1661, Bombay was reshaped by the Hornby Vellard project, which undertook reclamation of the area between the seven islands from the sea Along with construction of major roads and railways, the reclamation project, completed in 1845, transformed Bombay into a major seaport on the Arabian Sea. Bombay in the 19th century was characterised by economic and educational development. During the early 20th century it became a strong base for the Indian independence movement. Upon India's independence in 1947 the city was incorporated into Bombay State. In 1960, following the Samyukta Maharashtra Movement, a new state of Maharashtra was created with Bombay as the capital.
