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.
