- Snehal breaks down the map of South Mumbai & its history.
Mumbai, the seaside port formerly known as Bombay, is one of the largest cities in India. This city has a history so old that it requires quite a bit of time to wander through it all. In this map breakdown, you will understand how the geography of this island shaped the city as it is today and how to find your way around.

This is the city where I was born and brought up, and still I learned SO MUCH about it while making this video. It was a surreal experience to create this map explainer! ❤️
Thank you for your amazing work ❤
Idk how why it feels copied from epic show called "what's in the name"
@@BrightTripTravel elephanta Island isn't just 400 meters away. It won't take one hour to go there otherwise. It's 10 km plus
Why do you look so poor? I feel like i need to give you some money.
great job Snehal, can you tell me where you got that map from 3:53 ? I am looking for a large world map for my house I love that minimalist style!
Elephanta Island is not 400m away from the Gateway of India. That distance is actually around 12km (to the jetty)!!!
I really confused by that too cz when I took the ferry i remembered it taking us more than 20mins to reach there
Got*
I think 400M from JNPT
this vedio is giving wrong info as of today

Fascinating to learn that it was the Suez canal that really helped Mumbai grow.
Not only mumbai , it helped the British to loot india more efficiently.
Absolutely and the Industrial Revolution led by British technology which allowed numerous textile mills to weave cloth that UK needed during world wars.
@@bobbuildin01 they destroyed the textile industry and businesses of India first. Indian economy was at least 25% of world economy but more in reality in 18th century. By the time British left, it was 2%. They pretty much destroyed everything, including cutting off hands and fingers of artisans, forcing people to plant commercial crops, etc.
They funded all these railways and buildings from Indian taxpayers money with main motive of British businesses. Also the contracts were exclusively given to British companies at 3 times the rate prevalent in London. Lot of such stories.
Mumbai is a memorial of British exploitation of India
It was actually the US Civil war in the 1860s that made Bombay the biggest cotton-port in the world.
By the 1880's Bombay was as developed as any European city.
The name comes from Mumba devi temple in the city.
Mumba Aai - Mumbai
Aai (आई) means mother in Marathi.
No matter which part of the world I am in, Mumbai always has that warm place in heart.. Love Mumbai!
This is the most organised insightful story of Mumbai ever told. What a great way to understand the city in all its history and glory. Amazing work Snehal. So excited to see you do more of these for all our quirky Indian Cities!!!!
We're excited too 😍 Thank you!
I think you have not lived outside Mumbai.. I've lived in Mumbai for a decade now and earlier lived and regularly visit other places..
Mumbai doesn't have the best buses or transport by far. Probably it comes last amongst the metros in quality of life and transport systems.
@@AKumar528 yeah you are right ,mumbai doesnt have best public transport in india , delhi and hyd have better . i think she just said it bcoz she doesnt want to give any negative points ,as this is a foreign channel with foreign audience .
@@vardhanarya and @AKumar528, I think she said Best with respect to the full form 'B' rihanmumbai 'E' lectric 'S' upply and 'T' ransport , which was earlier the best way to travel but given the progress the other modes have made it currently moves less crowd around.
@@vardhanarya well she said best because its the short form of brihanmumbai electricity supply and transport (BEST) popularly known not because it's the best transport system in India. We mumbaikars called it Best or bst buses just by habits like most people call Colgate as toothpaste just by habit or Gluco biscuits as parle just by habits. I guess that is enough for the misunderstanding thanks have a good time keep asking questions??
I'm one of the ancestors of the original inhabitants of the 7 islands. There were the Kolis who were fishermen and then there were farmers called Bhandaris. We trace our lineage back to pre-portuguese era but after the East India Company came in they enrolled a lot of us hence our name stuck to East Indians. I'm from the farmer bhandari tribe of Mumbaikars and we owned the land of BKC where there were marshlands and paddy fields. We still live there is small pockets called gaothans, some gaothans are in Santa Cruz, Juhu, Sahar, Gorai, Vasai etc. If you want to know more please do let me know.
Thanks.
Feel glad sharing my heritage which is not very well known.
Cool
Wow! Thank you for sharing this.
Tell more about this
Nice video. Some corrections though.
1. The Portuguese recieved Mumbai and Vasai from the Sultan of Gujarat as a part of the treaty of Bacaim in 1534.
2. The left image shown at 4.05 is actually of Mahim fort and not St. George fort.
3. Elephanta islands are situated at 10 km, not 400m from Mumbai.
Also its not 125 years....its 225 years
Also, largest city of India is Banglore, not Mumbai. This video has a lot of errors.
@@dhruveechauhan6767 it is mumbai
@@dhruveechauhan6767 it's definitely not Bangalore
By land area & metropolitan population it's Delhi
By metro area population it's Mumbai
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I just lost it at "getting around Mumbai is quite effortless" . The whitewashing that Mumbaikars are capable of is just scary. This is me talking who takes rough 90 minutes every evening to reach home from office on a good day. My evening commute goes like this, walk>wait for rickshaw>rickshaw in traffic with 5 people in it including the driver and taking 15 minutes to cross Andheri highway signal > slow local crowded till Dadar, get off at Mahalaxmi> walk> wait for share taxi /bus> jostle to get into the bus , keep standing all the way till Worli naka in traffic > get off bus, walk again > wait for another bus, get on the bus> ride 5 minutes more and get off> walk to building> wait in line for the lifts> get home.
Haha can't agree more...Mumbai has the worst transportation system in India...it's just too croweded and not so efficient in traffic. That bygone Era train system needs to be replaced by metro and rapid transportation system. Mumbai should learn from Tokyo.
@ferzy09 navi mumbai and thane was built as alternate city to decongest mumbai .
I loved your video. Im going to visit Mumbai soon and this information is gold ❤
Thats the era of overpopulation and urban overburden in india.
It is! Try going to other Indian cities and use public transport.
Really great stuff, would want to see more indian maps
Noted! ✍
@@BrightTripTravel do one for Bangalore(india) too
@@BrightTripTravel let’s see Chandigarh’s map!
@@BrightTripTravel Delhi, Kolkata, AMdebad, Surat, all cool cities after Mumbai ofcourse
I'm from chennai, good to see contemporary developed city. Both madras and Bombay have rich heritage
Amazing job .. you could have talked about Land Reclamation from sea ..
and also how along with Thane, Mumbai is still an Island separated by Thane Creek and Vasai Creek from Mainland India.
It is an Island City
Dudeee no jokeee. I literally found your channel yestersay and commented "pls do mumbai"
It was ✨meant to be✨
This is high quality work! I'd suggest improving the audio a bit because it sounds a little muffled but other than that, excellent! Gives me Johnny Harris vibes!
Isn't BrightTrip, the name of his company too? I'm confused. Is it Johnny Harris's company's video?
@@keerthichandra376
He has his own CZcams channel and prior to that was working for Vox
After seeing an illustration of the Spanish in America while the narrator says the Portuguese arrived in India… I started taking everything with a grain of salt. I don’t know anything about India’s history, but this seemed like a wrong choice. Then I stopped in the middle of the video to check something out. Is the island mentioned in the video really 400 meters away? I don’t think so.
Besides this two things, you’ve made a very good video and the viewers can tell you were really into the subject. Thanks for sharing a bit of your history with us.
Thank you, José. We'll look into this!
They had 2 minor mistakes
After living and exploring this amazing city for couple years, I didn't know there will be so many things to know about Mumbai!!
Thank you for this video, now my curiosity appetite for exploring Mumbai has increased even further ☺️
I'm born in Mulund. Now in Toronto, Canada.
Mumbai is an emotion for me.
The effort put in making of this video is tremendous. Would love to see more such informative projects in the future.
Probably the most extensive historic video juxtaposed to the current place we are at. Thanks for breaking it down!
This is the best video i ever saw about Mumbai. Want more of these
"One example of this meddling..." line was so funny :D :D
Man the British and Portuguese were so brutal 😡😰.. thanks for the video it is so clear
Very Informative, keep making more videos on Indian cities. It was fascinating to learn new things about Mumbai.
Its very good to see these kind of informative yet so simple videos about the place where we live. Problem with most of the videos is that they either are very long or complicated or provide wrong info. But this video has done an excellent job in both the categories. Keep it up and all the very best for future videos. Love you guys.
Very late to this comment section but please, por favor make a map explained for BARCELONA. Fascinated by such an old grid system and the hills
Loved it!!! Thanks for making this!!! ❤
Insightful, beautifully narrated. Thanks for a brilliant History of Mumbai
A humble correction that recently it has been proved that Mumbai has the largest number of Art Deco Buildings with Miami being seconds
10 pounds wasn't the cost of "3 pints of beer" in 1705.
It was more or less a huge sum of money back then, 10 pounds = around 2500 pounds in today's currency.
Wow! ♥️ beautifully made video about Mumbai. Love the use of the map and drawings and old pictures for references. It was such a informative and captivating narration. Loved this, hope such videos could be made of all major cities of India and the world. Well done congratulations 💐
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WONDERFUL CREATION PORTRAYING THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF MUMBAI. IT'S BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED. KEEP IT UP:) THANKS AGAIN:)
AMAZING STUFF MAN. subscribed and liked . so well explained.....love it
So informative and concise! well done 👏🏾 also I love your haircut it’s cute.
I love how she casually laid out “the Portuguese just showed up” 🤣
Wow! Thanks for the information. This is truly eye-opening
This is fire Snehal! Stunning job!!!
👏👏👏
❤❤❤
Great introduction video but I am guessing the contributor is from SoBo because they only highlighted the old Bombay which SoBo really is and not the complete map which North Bombay is also a part off.
Excellent research and excellent presentation. Loved it
Lovely video! Grew up in Mumbai (~ 25 years). Fascinating history!
what a beautiful video loved it
Found your video very informative and well-presented. Subscribed!
Brilliant effort putting this video together. As a current resident of the Fort area and a history buff myself, I'd like to add that the location of the CST pointed at 4:52 is incorrect. If you can go back to 4:08 and look at the blueprint, you can clearly see that CST lies outside the Fort, at the northern end.
Congrats, but you missed elephanta cave distance
Thank you for making this video
I had no idea it used to be a cluster of islands. Great job Snehal!
Absolutely!
Thank YOU for for guiding me to create such a well crafted video. 🙌
amazed with your research keep it up & good explanation
Loved the video immensely, please make one on Mumbai suburbs too!
Appreciated the efforts for making the video so informative 🙌
Having been born and brought up in a small city of Bhopal, the overburdened and chaotic city of Mumbai always intimidated me. Now, I will be shifting to the very city that haunted me for years for my job requirements. Thanks for this video. It might not have given me the complete picture but I do have better understanding.
However, I personally feel that the only way possible to make the metro cities of India more livable is the out-migration of the people. It is imperative on the part of the government to make the rest of the capitals of various states of India on par with cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi or Hyderabad. Only then will the trickle down effect will reach towards tier2 and tier3 cities. I really hope that the smart City concept, does not make the existing pleasant tier2 cities a victim of what we see in tier1 cities. The idea is to make the tier1 less burdened population wise and infrastructure wise.
Urban sprawl, but requires better Social housing that overcomes the housing crisis that plagues modern 1st world nations like Australia, U.S and Canada.
Social housing might be expensive on the government's budget, but has long term high profit margin due to lower infrastructural maintenance.
@@nadeemnajimdeen5717To your comment about Canadian cities...
Yes, in Vancouver and the entire GVRD (much less so in Punjabi dominated Surrey) housing is a huge problem. Similar to Mumbai I expect. I fled the great weather and physical beauty of BC due to impossible rent for his pensioner. The huge challenge I find in Mumbai is accommodation. But at least as a tourist I *can easily leave*. How do working class locals manage their housing needs?
A related housing problem in Vancouver area (and also in Calgary's N.E.) is that Punjabis rent only to fellow Punjabis, even limiting to Khalsa Sikhs. Likewise Gujaratis rent only to vegetarian Hindus. This causes resentments to foreign immigration. Of course renting to one's own community is totally illegal but widespread and to some extent natural. Filipinos do the same. I agree that the best solution is not the real estate market but instead State-sponsored (I.e. city and provincial) housing projects. And *more controlled immigration*. Singapore succeeded at both. Why not Canada and India?
I Love this!!!!!!!!! ♥💛
I Love Mumbai... yes it does have it fair shares of problems. But there's no other city in India that can match it vibes, that feeling of something is happening round the clock. That feeling of liveliness and passion.
I don't live here, I used to visit in summer breaks during monsoon. I miss it.
Hey thanks for this amazing video !
Amazing video! Thank you for this!
Amazing video, Incredible research, simply beautiful!!
Do a Bangalore map breakdown too. Will be interesting.
I wish someone would make a video like this for my hometown, Delhi. Quality work, keep it up!
delhi is not a town
@@vardhanarya I didn't say it was
I loooove this! Thank you 🧡
Such a nicely done video. Kudos for the effort.
Really insightful video! Thanks!
A very well made video! All the best for your future.
wow! loved the entire video! thank you :))
More cities of the world! Nice work 💯
Incredible. Loved it!..Great Job..🥃
Nice video, good job team👏......expecting more such content from you soon.
Such a wholesome video. I feel like revisiting the Bombay chapter from my 10th history book.
This is an excellent video. Looking forward to more interesting content
Awesome video! I learnt a lot. Please consider doing Bangalore map :)
Ay! Johnny hiring top talent across our country!
Great video. Interesting and insightful!
Please do a breakdown of Ho Chi Minh City, many thanks
It's actually a very good video, good & simple!!
Loved it, cool explanation
Most knowledgeable video about mumbai.... I have watched more than 100 but this video amazing ❤
Glad you liked it! We'll do more like it!!
One minute into the video and I spotted two errors:
The Portuguese conquered the island from the Sultan of Gujarat , not the Kolis.
The pic is not of the Portuguese landing in India, but of Christopher Columbus in the "new world".
Such shoddy research work.
Third error: it was Bom Bahia. Not Bon. Seriously!
4:06 the photo on the left is probably Mahim Fort, which is much up north.
Amazing video guys an bit more about the suburban district as well please
Do on a video on Chandigarh too please !!!
I would like to know more about the geology of Mumbai back when it was just separate islands
Very informative, thank you!
Amazing video ! loved it !
Excellent video! Well done!
Looks like British did a good job in constructing century old monuments which are still in use and also tourist destinations.
Very well put and organised..loved it..👍
Yay, we're glad 😊
Love this video and the superb research done !!! presented very well...
So nice of you 😊
We need more videos on mumbai with post year 2000 highlights .. very good content
i live in fort! beautiful! well done :) happy to see this
Thankyou for the information. Loved it. I wish to visit Mumbai atleast once in my lifetime🇮🇳❤
Great insight.. m not from Mumbai but the city fascinates me a lot.. if given a chance to relocate anywhere in India.. Mumbai will be my first choice.
Btw I like video style a lot.. quite similar to VOX / Cheddar videos. Keep up the good work. 👍
LOVED LOVED THIS SOOO MUCHHH
Thankyou for this insightful video 😘
Great video!! 👏
Woah !!
This video is so cool 🔥🔥
Thank yooou
Love this vedio keep makin them...
Really helpful!
Loved the Vox styled narration.
Mumbai ❤🙌
🙌🙌🙌
Great video !
Just a query - 2:09 You show what looks like a 19th century style of photograph (with tie and suit) of William Hornby. Are you sure about that, since he was on duty in 1772, as you said.
Also, if most of the 22 hills on all these seven islands were quarried and stripped to provide granite for building and soil for reclamation, are there any old illustrations of that era, of what Bombay looked like with hills looking over the Arabian Sea and the Bay?
@ferzy09 True. I've seen a few of those acid etched plate illustrations and watercolours by artists who went around documenting the Raj's newly consolidated colonies. A few of the Bombay harbour etch plates show mountainous landscape rising from the Seas!- artistic license no doubt, but I was curious about the sheer logistics of reclamation!
Really very well informative video.
please do Toronto next!
Make a video on Sharjah and Dubai map breakdown
7:25, Quite literally. Did u change the meaning of literally. Oval maidan is not adjacent south of dharavi. Its 15 km far.
Please, make one for Delhi also.
Adding to the list!
Excellent video was expecting more but I think good amount of basics are covered here. Maybe in next video you can talk about how Government/authority failed in town planning and how everything is centralised in Fort area. From poor drainage system to poor connectivity through roads.
