it is because of the contribution of PARSI's, Sindhis, Gujaratis, South Indians etc Mumbai is acheived the progress to become Financial capital. The original locals of Mumbai is Anglo Indians (Extinct now you will find them in some corners of Versova or Virar) and the KOLI's..
Bombay if you speak historically have more links with Gujarat than Maharashtra state. So dont get into a fools land by saying such nonsense.
Mumbai belong to each and every Indian, and i am proud that the maharashtrian culture have more effect on mumbai in terms of respecting females. But it never means that all maharashtrians respect females and only north indians mis behave with females.
The majority of the new year incident were belonging to Maharashtrian families.
The only concern is the more pouring of people into mumbai, with them the Illegal Bangladeshis making new colonies.
