By the time British left, it was 2%. They pretty much destroyed everything, including cutting off hands and fingers of artisans, forcing people to plant commercial crops, etc. They funded all these railways and buildings from Indian taxpayers money with main motive of British businesses. Also the contracts were exclusively given to British companies at 3 times the rate prevalent in London. Lot of such stories. Mumbai is a memorial of British exploitation of India

It was actually the US Civil war in the 1860s that made Bombay the biggest cotton-port in the world. By the 1880's Bombay was as developed as any European city.

No matter which part of the world I am in, Mumbai always has that warm place in heart.. Love Mumbai!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I just lost it at "getting around Mumbai is quite effortless" . The whitewashing that Mumbaikars are capable of is just scary. This is me talking who takes rough 90 minutes every evening to reach home from office on a good day. My evening commute goes like this, walk>wait for rickshaw>rickshaw in traffic with 5 people in it including the driver and taking 15 minutes to cross Andheri highway signal > slow local crowded till Dadar, get off at Mahalaxmi> walk> wait for share taxi /bus> jostle to get into the bus , keep standing all the way till Worli naka in traffic > get off bus, walk again > wait for another bus, get on the bus> ride 5 minutes more and get off> walk to building> wait in line for the lifts> get home.

Haha can't agree more...Mumbai has the worst transportation system in India...it's just too croweded and not so efficient in traffic. That bygone Era train system needs to be replaced by metro and rapid transportation system. Mumbai should learn from Tokyo.

We mumbaikars called it Best or bst buses just by habits like most people call Colgate as toothpaste just by habit or Gluco biscuits as parle just by habits. I guess that is enough for the misunderstanding thanks have a good time keep asking questions??

I'm one of the ancestors of the original inhabitants of the 7 islands. There were the Kolis who were fishermen and then there were farmers called Bhandaris. We trace our lineage back to pre-portuguese era but after the East India Company came in they enrolled a lot of us hence our name stuck to East Indians. I'm from the farmer bhandari tribe of Mumbaikars and we owned the land of BKC where there were marshlands and paddy fields. We still live there is small pockets called gaothans, some gaothans are in Santa Cruz, Juhu, Sahar, Gorai, Vasai etc. If you want to know more please do let me know. Thanks. Feel glad sharing my heritage which is not very well known.

Nice video. Some corrections though. 1. The Portuguese recieved Mumbai and Vasai from the Sultan of Gujarat as a part of the treaty of Bacaim in 1534. 2. The left image shown at 4.05 is actually of Mahim fort and not St. George fort. 3. Elephanta islands are situated at 10 km, not 400m from Mumbai.

After seeing an illustration of the Spanish in America while the narrator says the Portuguese arrived in India… I started taking everything with a grain of salt. I don’t know anything about India’s history, but this seemed like a wrong choice. Then I stopped in the middle of the video to check something out. Is the island mentioned in the video really 400 meters away? I don’t think so. Besides this two things, you’ve made a very good video and the viewers can tell you were really into the subject. Thanks for sharing a bit of your history with us.

Having been born and brought up in a small city of Bhopal, the overburdened and chaotic city of Mumbai always intimidated me. Now, I will be shifting to the very city that haunted me for years for my job requirements. Thanks for this video. It might not have given me the complete picture but I do have better understanding. However, I personally feel that the only way possible to make the metro cities of India more livable is the out-migration of the people. It is imperative on the part of the government to make the rest of the capitals of various states of India on par with cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi or Hyderabad. Only then will the trickle down effect will reach towards tier2 and tier3 cities. I really hope that the smart City concept, does not make the existing pleasant tier2 cities a victim of what we see in tier1 cities. The idea is to make the tier1 less burdened population wise and infrastructure wise.

Urban sprawl, but requires better Social housing that overcomes the housing crisis that plagues modern 1st world nations like Australia, U.S and Canada. Social housing might be expensive on the government's budget, but has long term high profit margin due to lower infrastructural maintenance.

​@@nadeemnajimdeen5717To your comment about Canadian cities... Yes, in Vancouver and the entire GVRD (much less so in Punjabi dominated Surrey) housing is a huge problem. Similar to Mumbai I expect. I fled the great weather and physical beauty of BC due to impossible rent for his pensioner. The huge challenge I find in Mumbai is accommodation. But at least as a tourist I *can easily leave*. How do working class locals manage their housing needs? A related housing problem in Vancouver area (and also in Calgary's N.E.) is that Punjabis rent only to fellow Punjabis, even limiting to Khalsa Sikhs. Likewise Gujaratis rent only to vegetarian Hindus. This causes resentments to foreign immigration. Of course renting to one's own community is totally illegal but widespread and to some extent natural. Filipinos do the same. I agree that the best solution is not the real estate market but instead State-sponsored (I.e. city and provincial) housing projects. And *more controlled immigration*. Singapore succeeded at both. Why not Canada and India?
