"Amazing Facts
Mumbai, the economic capital of the country is also known as the city of dreams or the city that never sleeps. Mumbai is the city which itself can actually give you a Glimpse of what India is. The richest of the rich and the poorest of the poor all live here chasing their dreams in harmony. Dowry practice in India is fought against by many these days. It is banned by government. But had this cluster of islands not given in dowry by the Portuguese to the English, Mumbai still would have been same as it was!! Who would have thought some 300 years back, that this small town with 7 islands around would become an epitome of Indian economy?
