Answer 3

Mumbai (earlier known as Bombay) which lies on the western coast of India, is in fact, the Land of Dowry as it was received by King Charles II of England who married Princess Catherine de Braganza of Portugal in 1661, as part of the dowry.

It is a group of seven islands in the Arabian Sea which lies off the northern Konkan coast on the west of Maharashtra state in India. These seven islands which were once seperated by creeks and channels were filled and bridged over the years by the inhabitants. Later in 1668 it was handed over to the East India Company.

Answer 6

Its Mumbai (Bombey)

Present Mumbai was originally an archipelago of seven islands.  During its first few centuries, control over Mumbai was disputed between the Indo-Scythian Western Satraps and the Satavahanas. The Hindu rulers of the Silhara Dynasty later governed the islands until 1343, when the kingdom of Gujarat annexed them.

      In 1534, the Portuguese appropriated the islands from Bahadur Shah of Gujarat. They were ceded to Charles II of England in 1661, as dowry for Catherine de Braganza. These islands, were in turn leased to the British East India Company in 1668 for a sum of £10 per annum.
