#Tarikh Tarikh Episode 655 In this episode Nikhil talks about the history of Mumbai. Mumbai, formerly Bombay, has a diverse and captivating history. Dating back to ancient times, it was initially part of the Maurya Empire and later ruled by various dynasties, including the Satavahanas and Chalukyas. In the 16th century, the Portuguese gained control of the seven islands, which eventually passed into British hands as part of Catherine of Braganza's dowry in 1668. Under British East India Company rule, Mumbai flourished as a vital trading port and witnessed rapid growth in the 19th century with the development of railways and infrastructure. Post-independence, Mumbai became a cornerstone of India's economy and the epicenter of Bollywood. The city's history is marked by urbanization, challenges of slum growth, and notable events like the 1993 and 2008 terrorist attacks. Mumbai continues to be a bustling metropolis, facing contemporary issues like traffic congestion and housing problems. Despite challenges, it remains a vibrant hub of culture, commerce, and entertainment, showcasing a unique blend of historical legacy and modern dynamism. खबरों को विस्तार से पढ़ने के लिए क्लिक करे यहां- https://www.thelallantop.com/ LT Premium जॉइन करने के लिए नीचे दिए लिंक पर क्लिक करें: null Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelallantop/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelallantop/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheLallantop Produced By: The Lallantop Edited By: Alok Sahu
