Mumbai
, the capital city of Maharashtra, also known as the financial capital of India, was formed out of seven islands, namely, Colaba, Mazagaon, Old Woman's Island, Wadala, Mahim, Parel and Matunga-Sion. The present day
Mumbai City
is the outcome of much rehabilitation done on these seven islands. Having a glorious history and an equally sparkling present to boast of, Mumbai has earned the name of the "city of dreams". This can be credited mostly to the dominating presence of the Indian film industry, popularly known as the bollywood.
The present day
Mumbai or Bombay has emerged as the largest metropolis in India with a population of more than thirteen million people. This has also earned Mumbai the tag of one of the world's most populous cities.
When viewed in terms of economic status
Bombay/Mumbai has also emerged as the top ten centers in the world in terms of global financial flow. What makes this city an attractive destination from the rest of the country is the fact that it offers tremendous employment avenues coupled with a better standard of living when compared with the rest of India. It is also one of the few cities in the world that boast of a national park within the limits of the city.
