Question

why is Bombay known as the city of dreams .Give 3 reasons

Answer 1

Bombay was called the city of dreams because in mid-seventeenth century, Bombay became East India Company’s principal western port, replacing Surat. Later, by the end of the nineteenth century, it had become an important administrative as well as industrial centre. All through these years, the prospects for trade and commerce, and employment kept increasing, thereby making Bombay an attractive destination for migrants.
