Mumbai is home to people of all Indian creeds and cultures, a fascinating
city, throbbing with life and for many people ‘GATEWAY TO INDIA'.
Mumbai is a group of seven islands (Colaba, Mahim Mazgaon, Parel,
Worii, Girgaum and Dongri) whose inhabitants, the Kolis have given
the city its Indian name Mumbai, after their Goddess, Mother Mumba
Aai.
The early Hindu rulers were conquered by Sultants of Gujarat who
were later superseded by the Portuguese. The British, who followed,
received these seven islands as a dowry when Charles II married
Catherine of Braganza.
The British in turn leased them to East India Company. A far sighted
President of the company, the real founder of the present city,
was Gerald Aungier. He invited Hindu and Parsi merchants from Gujarat
to come to Bombay and develop it, giving them all help and city
never looked back.
