Histoire
Mumbai's history dates back to ancient times, originally a group of islands inhabited by fishing communities. The Portuguese colonized the area in the 16th century, followed by the British, who transformed it into a major trading port and financial hub.
The city played a crucial role in India's independence movement and has since evolved into a global city, known for its diverse population and economic significance. Today, Mumbai is a melting pot of cultures, languages, and traditions.
