About this listen
**Explore the fascinating transformation of Mumbai in this captivating podcast episode that traces the city's remarkable evolution from ancient fishing settlements to modern metropolis.**
Discover how Mumbai began as seven separate islands inhabited by the Koli fishing community who worshipped the goddess Mumbadevi—the city's namesake. Journey through millennia of history as empires rose and fell, from Ashoka's Mauryan dynasty to the Portuguese arrival and British colonial rule.
Learn about the engineering marvel that fused seven islands into one landmass, the economic boom following the opening of the Suez Canal, and how Mumbai became the commercial powerhouse of India. We explore pivotal moments in India's independence movement that unfolded on Mumbai's streets and the city's resilience through challenging times.
This episode reveals the unique urban philosophy that makes Mumbai "the city that never sleeps"—a place where diversity thrives, opportunity beckons, and ambition knows no bounds. From Bollywood glamour to ancient myths and urban legends, discover the soul of a city where modernity and tradition coexist in vibrant harmony.
Perfect for history enthusiasts, urban explorers, and anyone fascinated by the evolution of global cities. Subscribe now for weekly updates on Mumbai's continuing story.
