And post-independence it expanded radically, numerous towns were incorporated within the city limits and further developed to be the financial capital of the country<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most populated cities in India with a fusion of art, culture, and religion. \u2018Mumbaikars\u2019 as the world calls the indomitable people of Mumbai, is the astounding factor of this city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> People from all walks of life struggle hard in this fast-paced city to live their dreams.
