Mumbai, a west-central city of India, is India's main port and commercial center. At first, Bombay was a cluster of seven Koli islands occupied by a local community of simple fishermen.
Not very long after that, Bombay soon became an important aspect in India's trading industries.
As soon as its developments progressed and reclamation started, it was then that Governor Gerald Aungier encouraged business men from all over to come and settle.
Historians have since then dubbed him the title suitable title of "Father of Bombay" because it was in this period Bombay first had its taste of economic success and developmental advancements. Because of the business opportunities, and its relatively lofty lifestyles, Mumbai is now a melting pot of immigrants from all over the world.
The city is home to Bollywood--India's Hindi film and television industry. It's hard to imagine such diversity within a single city's limits…but Mumbai is all of this and always surprisingly a little bit more.
Mumbai is the capital city of Maharashtra and it offers various types of attractions that include historic buildings, renowned museums, popular beaches, and so on. India’s commercial film industry has made Mumbai a fascinating city.
