Samenvatting
In November 1995, Bombay's name was officially to Mumbai. The local colour of India's most cosmopolitan city, Mumbai, derives from the mix of its inhabitants. The different lifestyles and languages, creeds, customs, and cuisines of the Maharashtrians, Gujaratis, Parsis, Goans, Kannadis, and Tamils who call this city home make for a specially variegated social mosaic. The population spills out from open coastlines and obscure alleyways onto the crowded streets lined with colonial monuments and sleek skyscrapers, creating an intense human element that is distinctly Mumbai. But in this tangle of traditions old and new, what constitutes a landmark?
