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 >>
