Evolution of Mumbai-A short study

The document summarizes the evolution of Mumbai, India from 800 AD to present day. It began as seven small fishing villages on islands off the western coast of India. In the late 18th century, development began under British influence as the islands transformed into the city of Bombay and became an important port. The population grew from 10,000 in 1661 to over 2 crores (20 million) today. Despite independence in 1947, Mumbai has maintained its role as India's commercial center, growing in a largely unplanned manner across the islands and lacking some cultural aspects found in other major Indian cities.
