Mumbai History 

After the passing of Asoka, Bombay had been assumed control by different Hindu rulers until 1343. Mohammedans from Gujarat took the ownership around the same time and administered for about two centuries. At that point came the Portuguese in1534 and kept the name 'Bom Baia'. Portuguese manufactured numerous structures, places of worship and posts at Sion, Mahim, Bandra, and Bassien.

The English East India Company took Mumbai on rent from the crown for a yearly total of 10 pounds in gold in the year 1668. They moved their headquarter from Surat to Mumbai in 1687. They adulterated the Portuguese name 'Bom Baia' to 'Bombay'. Kolis, the first fisher-society tenants of Mumbai used to call "Mumba" after Mumbadevi, the Hindu goddess.

Whenever Mr. Gerald Aungier turned into the legislative head of Bombay, he made the city more crowded by pulling in Gujarati dealers, Parsi send developers, and Muslim and Hindu producers from the territory. Sir Robert Grant (1779-1838) legislative leader of Bombay from 1835 to 1838 built various streets amongst Bombay and the hinterland.

The primary railroad line of India between Victoria Terminus and Thana was introduced on sixteenth April 1853. The Great Indian Peninsular (GIP) and the Bombay Baroda and Central India (BB&CI) Railway were begun in 1860 and a customary administration of steamers on the west drift was started in 1869. After the Sepoy Mutiny or the First War of Independence, the East India Company was blamed for blunder and the islands of Bombay were returned to the British Crown.

Numerous structures, for example, the Victoria Terminus, the General Post Office, Municipal Corporation, the Prince of Wales Museum, Rajabai Tower and Bombay University, Elphinstone College and the Cawasji Jehangir Hall, the Crawford Market, the Old Secretariat (Old Customs House) and the Public Works Department (PWD) Building were built in the later 50% of the nineteenth century. The Gateway of India was worked to remember the visit of ruler George V and Queen Mary for the Darbar at Delhi in 1911.

Notable All India Congress Committee session was begun on seventh of August 1942 at Gowala Tank Maidan. Mahatma Gandhi gave 'Quit India' call at this session. English captured the Indian pioneers soon a while later yet the energy of the Quit India development couldn't be ceased and prompted the last withdrawal of the British on 15 August 1947.

After autonomy, the condition of Bombay was part into Maharashtra and Gujarat states in 1960 on phonetic premise, while the previous holding Bombay city as its capital. The Congress party kept on decision Maharashtra until 1994 when the Shiv Sena-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) supplanted it. Later Bombay held its unique name Mumbai.
