Tourist Destinations in West India
  
Mumbai was given by Portuguese as dowry to Charles II of England
when he married Catherine. The group of seven island 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 colour.
Mumbai History
Following the first war of Independence in 1857, the East India
Company was accused of mismanagement, and Bombay reverted to
the British crown. With the outbreak of the American Civil War
in 1861, and the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, exports,
specially cotton, from Bombay became a major part of the colonial
economy. more >>
