MUMBAI or BOMBAY

One dear friend, some days ago said ‘You know what,I am going to call Mumbai as Bombay’ .I produced a fake smile(awkward discussion) and said ‘Ya sure u can! Bombay sounds much cooler !!’.’Oh nooo’ he said ‘Its not the question of acoustics.. i’ll do this with a purpose to hurt some elements in the society..” Now,me being in a mortal body,bound by stupid manmade boundries,and a certain instilled emotion called ‘feeling of belonging’ for a particular state(Maharashtra) made me feel a bit gloomy. But then he quoted some facts and I was left with “AGREED BOSS..YOU CAN !!” The facts were… • Mumbai were soggy,desease-prone,deserted,wastelands and of no ones interest. • First they were possessed by Sultan of Gujarat..he dint want them and passed these soggy islands to the Portuguese. • The Portuguese dint want them either ..so they gifted these islands to the British. • The British were not that interested so they passed them on to East India Company. • Parsees,Gujratis,Suratis...
