	Bombay or Mumbai
		The name Mumbai on the contrary, is derived from the temple of Mumbadevi, the Goddess Mumba.
		According to this history, when the English took over Bom Bahia from the Portuguese, they, in keeping with their mercantilist policy of religious toleration, permitted the Hindus to enter and settle in the isles.
		Given the history of the Mumbadevi temple, it is obvious that the claim that 'Mumbai' is the original name of the city of Bombay is merely mythurgic: the malicious invention of the Marathi colonists as an instrument of Cultural Genocide, by destroying the original names and replacing them with Maharashtrianised names!

		The area around the Mumbadevi temple, at the junction of what is called the Dagina Bazar and the Yusuf Meherally Road, has as many people on the road as in the packed buildings that line the area.
		Except during the dead of the night, the roads here are impassable as handcarts, taxis, cars, scooters, cows, bicycles and people jostle for space.
		And even diamond merchants conduct business on the street, sitting on parked scooters as they open small paper packets containing quantities of the precious rock.
