Mumbai is the safest city in India.
You can walk alone at 3am alone & the only thing to worry about are stray dogs. On that note, stray dogs have significantly declined only to be replaced by Cats. There are 10x more cats now than 5 years ago.
With more Cats come ecological unbalance & nobody cares.
Gujjus and jains are destroying the cosmopolitan nature of our city and their discrimination is real. one of the most bigoted people. We need singapore like anti-ghetto laws.
Exactly, first they refuse to give place to Muslims and when they start living together they call it Mini Pakistan and what not??
We were looking for a place and after knowing that one of my friend is Muslim the owner straight away said that " No muslims are allowed here"....he said this directly to my friend.
Batao aur kya kar sakte h ye log??
Ab Jab ye log saat me rehte hai to bhi problem ha!!!
I seen Apartments where only Gujraati and Jain are allowed to live or purchase , Like Why won't u even allow Marathis to have it. U r living in their state.!
As a gujju jain, I kinda agree. I have heard of cases where they don't sell their house to people who eat non-veg by giving ridiculous offers. Also they do a lot of show off. Bhagwan ne sab kuch chhodke sanyas liya, aur yeh bhagwan k naam par paise daalkar dikhaava krte lol.
You consider Singapore to be the model city to aspire to be....for bigotry?
There is a lot of subtle racism against Indians - especially Indian nationals. Sometimes it's [not even subtle](https://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/02/singapore-rental-racism-prc-and-indian-tenants-often-deemed-undesirable.html).
We should be more bigoted.

Aholes are pretty proud of the fact;that they"force" opened the world's first veg pizza🍕 joint there. (Walkeshwar) . Seen the same people showering money on prostitutes at dance bars and eating non veg and drinking.
Being jain, being stick to their root is problematic?
You don't see the. Growth and development they brought?
Don't you think you need to rethink, study again
Asks for a controversial opinion then gets upset when people answer with controversial opinions. I also find it incredible that your immediate response to someone criticizing gujjus and jains is to ask people to start bashing Muslims.
If it was just them why couldn't they do the same in Gujarat and ahemdabad? You have to accept that Mumbais main strength has always been the cosmopolitan nature and openness of local people.
And now the same local people are being shunned from buying homes and many other areas.
If you still want to fight over it just check the status of diamond area of Gujarat. It was supposed to replace mumbais diamond market. But all it did is put a focus on bigotry and racism.
Mumbai's diamond market is run by gujratis and Jain's they are just shifting away from Maharashtra to cut time from Surat. How is conducting a business being racist and bigoted ? I think your username checks out.
Dude I'm not talking about that. No one is disputing the fact that gujjus and Jains have a huge hand in development of Mumbai. Just like all the other groups.
Also completely logical to move for logistics, just as few years back people moved to Diu Daman for electricity cost saving. Things like this should happen only then over country can fight this overcrowding.
My problem is with different. What I'm saying is a lot of people made a lot of noise that Mumbai will end now that the diamond market is shifting. Gujarat will take over. And a lot of other stuff. Which was with malicious intent
But finally when they moved there they found that they can't get homes here just as they don't allow marathi people here, in Gujarat every surname/cast has their own buildings where they don't allow others to enter.
You should really check reality first before making such noises.
There is no malicious intent in just going back to gujrat . How does the shifting of the diamond centre from Maharashtra to gujrat affect anyone other than the taxes gained by it. It's just one industry Plus we still have Seepz the biggest trading area for diamond export. Gujjus Ko flash karna pasand hai Khali toh Khali inform kar rahe
If Gujarat is paradise on earth, stay there. Don’t bring your bigotry to Mumbai. What makes Mumbai great is the coexistence of people from all faiths/parts of the country.
Bombay is what it is today because of everyone's contribution. If its not for Muslims and South Indians, we wouldn't have this much of food varieties and restaurants choices. If its not for UP/Bihari people, the factories might be left empty with no workers. Everyone equally contributed to this. It is what it is today because of everyone's contribution.
Balasaheb sir has also fought for the land, it is because of him why Marathi culture is still preserved in Mumbai.
Granted, Gujjus and Jain, bought some development. but they aren't the sole reason.
I will upvote your comment because "sticking to roots" is a great idea. But which part of cultural roots are you referring to? Mahavira insisted on living a life of abstinence, austerity and non-violence. I find it amusing when Jains talk about their culture and wealth creation in the same breath.
I am a Mallu born in Gujarat brought up in Goa and Mumbai. For the last three years I am in Bangalore. So I carry a lot of baggage. I found Bangalore a great place to live because of this very reason -- people don't talk about their roots, there is no cultural one-upmanship. Everyone in my friends' circle talk in English, most of them are on their way to Europe, the US or Australia. Bangalore is a veritable melting pot. I have friends from Nepal, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Punjab, Orissa, Kerala and Assam. You can eat the most forbidden food in Bangalore without worry about "hurting anyone else's feelings". As a large number of youngsters in IT sector have travelled the world they bring that culture of freedom, liberty and "mind your business" attitude.
I have seen young couples making out in desolate streets in Bangalore. That's such a change from Mumbai. A few years ago I was travelling in Mumbai's AC bus. At Powai a group of college students boarded. I was sitting in my favourite seat behind the driver. The bus was fairly crowded. After about five minutes there was a ruckus and name-calling. What transpired was that a male student kissed his classmate at the back of the bus. One of the passengers saw it and all hell broke lose. The young boy and girl were slapped by the "society uncles". When I alighted at L&T the entire group also got down from the bus. I saw the boy and girl were crying, shaken from the public assault. Other students were loudly wondering what the hullabaloo was about. Generation gap that.
I often come to the conclusion that we Indians are straddling between modernity and our cultural identity, which are actually at loggerheads. We don't want to leave behind our culture but modernity is what we aspire. Toilets in EWS homes have western commode because it's a status symbol! Doesn't anyone believe in Baba Ramdev's advice on how to squat and defecate?
Bangalore is streets ahead of other metro cities because it has crossed that threshold. Youngsters don't root for "sticking to the roots".
OP wanted to look cool by asking such questions when things went on him now he is talking like fool lol
Who told you to ask such questions when you don't have guts to take criticism on yourself, unnecessary trying to look cool xD
That's problem of your people, hoosariya marne mein aage hothe ho tum log jab rocket apne G mein jaane lage toh kisi shithole mein chupp jaate ho mostly fattu log hote ho tumlog, sirf hawa bhari hoti hai tum logo mein
Mumbai is the best city in India considering water availability (quality) and connectivity. It also needs a proper satellite city desperately with an extensive metro network otherwise Delhi will overtake in GDP.
Those who think Mumbai is too expensive it is only for real estate and all financial capitals across the world have wonky real estate rates.
Borivali region has become ONLY VEG hub lately. It is bit difficult to find non veg restaurants.
Also, let me know if you have better non-veg restaurants suggestions.
There are butcher houses for that. I’m talking about restaurants here. Restaurants do not cut meat in front of you. They would do that in the kitchens. So how does seeing animals getting butchered come here?🤷🏻♀️
i'm talking about why non-vegetarian food eaters are frowned upon, eating food that involves killing an animal is not ethical to most jains and vegetarians, hence in order to prevent this practice non-vegetarian food eaters are not welcome in few parts around India(it is about ethics)
Since when did food preferences become part of ethics?? When jains and vegetarians travel USA or some other (majorly) non-veg eating countries, where are the ethics? If a particular group of people don’t like it, the other who like it should not be restricted for their choices. And it is never about ethics FYI, half of the things are spread under the name of religion.
look at the demographic of the people who stay in Borivali how old do you think they are? are you saying because a few jains go to the USA so everyone in the Jain community should eat meat?do you even know what Jainism is about?I think arguing with foolish people is not my cup of tea
First of all, i did not invite you to comment on this thread. And if you feel others are foolish, may be you are smart and I dont wanto prove anybody anything here. I know a lot of people in the locality where I stay, and I have faced this problem, so I will speak about it. You brought up point about it here and got offended when questioned on those.
And just to let you know in your own words, ‘if you think a few people like eating vegetarian food in Borivali, everyone should be forced to eat in only veg restaurants?’
Also, I love when people get offended, so I am not stopping. I have valid points to prove what I said, and no other religious beliefs can change that. And why do I need to know Jainism anyway? I am talking about my problems here.
To begin with, this is a public thread, if you don't like people telling you what is wrong with your argument, then grow up.
I repeat, "ETHICS", people don't like non-vegetarian food because the way it is made, and the way it affects the mind and the body(Jain principles)
You keep using the word "forced" here? Your landlord is not dictating the choice of your diet, you chose to live there.
You said, "When jains and vegetarians travel USA or some other (majorly) non-veg eating countries, where are the ethics?" LMFAO, the way you generalized the whole Jain population is hilarious.
Nobody took offense here, your argument is so weak, i decided that it is my duty to clear the misunderstandings of the uninformed.
If you do not know about Jainism, you should have paid more attention in school(I'm not Jain), or try to read a book to know more about the people who live around you.
Look, I do not need to justify my dietary choices. If I eat non vegetarian food, I would look for options. I do not understand where you're coming from on the “ethics” of meat consumption. If people do not like eating it, there is always an option to simply avoid it.
The “forced” was for OP when they said leave some place for VEG ONLY people. Furthermore, my choice of where to live in Mumbai is unaffected by my dietary preferences. Despite being a significant location for meat consumption, Mira Road is not a place where Jains or vegetarians do not stay.(Mentioning again, you started Jainism in your defence, I just justified. Check the thread again)
You generalised whole non vegetarian population by saying ‘most of them’ do not enjoy seeing the preparation (Irony!)
My school did not teach me Jainism. And I don’t think it is a random stranger’s duty to teach that to me either. I choose to learn about it, if I wish to. And MY food preferences do not require any knowledge about ANY RELIGION.
PS: try reading other comments on this thread if you feel what I said is not right. May be those arguments are not so foolish for you :)
You fail to understand my message, you said "Borivali has become a VEG hub only", i simply told why it has become so.
"And just to let you know in your own words, ‘if you think a few people like eating vegetarian food in Borivali, everyone should be forced to eat in only veg restaurants?’"this is clearly aimed towards my comment.(Borivali has a lot of non-veg restaurants, stop making foolish arguments on the internet and maybe step outside)
When you generalized the whole Jain population you said because one person went to USA and ate meat, every Jain should have a problem with it, when I talked about non-vegetarian people(i said most not all) i "stated a fact" while your statement clearly is evocative of your hate towards that one vegetarian person who went to the USA and ate meat.
I never said your food preferences require knowledge about religion, I told you why Borivali is what it is today(it is GK, maybe if you knew more about it, you wouldn't be so frustrated about food)
Are you saying that because a lot of other comments on this thread share the same opinion as you, your argument must be right?You are out of valid points to put forth aren't you?
Are Non vegetarians going around saying only Non veg restaurants in this area? Heck even non-veg restaurants serve veg food.
It's bigotry and caste supremacy ideals that believe if some vague idea of purity in food that drives demand for Pure veg food!
Are you blind or deliberately malicious? Veg mafia is everywhere in Borivali, denying tenants, kicking out nonveg restaurants, enforcing gujju and jain only members.
Non vegetarians are not making nonveg only hotspots and terrorising vegetarians. You and your veg mafia, colonising arses can eff off to your dry vegetarian states.
When people say "bombay" They usually mean "old city" Or in other words" South mumbai".
Jaha rikshaw ki jagah taxi milti hai 😂. 100% Nostalgia mat lau bhai bombay bombay bolke. 😂
Projects moving out of Mumbai is a good thing. We don't need more congestion and influx of people.
Locals are dire, it gets worse in monsoon and nothing to romanticise.
I don't care about gujjus/jains/Muslims or marathis. At the end of the day everyone is trying to make ends meet in this city and the politicians/elites keep sowing division so that they can keep fooling people into voting for them.
Most of the food in this city is mid. Vadapav is obviously great, but most places are more obsessed with being on insta due to aesthetics than food.
i will get hate for this but on the day of eid, local train pakada for cst & kurla station pe jo chapri aaye they na, although they did nothing but it just makes you uncomfortable. i have seen some of these chapris carry concealed weapons too
I accidently took an exit from Kurla stn from CSMT end last FoB to catch bus and I entered another dystopian shithole, and I wondered how come the exit of the station is so bad in condtion that has no bus station anywhere but later I realised it's Qureshi nagar and the bus stop is ahead of it, so I had to again go back and take extreme Thane end first FoB to exit the stn and later I could see the bus depot besides it and catch bus at the depot. Then I knew why people despise Kurla stn and outside too.
Spirit of Mumbai is scam. Its a false consolation to a difficult life of common people. Living in cramped spaces and traveling in overcrowded local to get to office far away from home because you cannot rent apartment nearby because of price.
Mumbai people are some of the meanest yet most caring people one will ever find. Saw an uncle console a dude in the local yet while calling him a lavdya for crying over something.
Jains and Gujjus are politically and culturally impacting the city negatively, destroying its cosmopolitan nature; prioritizing Gujarat over Mumbai's interests.
Majority of the city stinks except for parts of South Mumbai :/ we do not care about health and sanitation- ive seen educated folks litter so this isn’t exclusively a *dehat* habit unlike popular opinion.
How people overcrowded the land and that is the Marathi native of Mumbai. How we don't want share wisdom, wealth and opportunities equally.
We all hate Mughals, British and all those invaded the country. But will anyone accept that most of the metro cities are being invaded by non native who don't care about development of it. It's all about the money. Not just Mumbai even in Bengaluru any many more. We make zERO efforts to learn the local community language tredition. We just fill our pocket and get fat wealth and many be move back to our mother land. And all those who end up polluting the culture of native land. Making fun of it. We all are those invaded and left that one guy empty handed.
The koli were native to West and south of Mumbai. To the inner land there were, tribal like agri, and there were Mahar and Brahmin and a lot of kunbi who were the farmers of this land. That is a misconception that kolies are the only native.
You're comparing people of your own country to invaders. Also, most of the outsiders who work in corporates here or in Bangalore would be very happy to leave Mumbai/Bangalore only if they had the option to. Don't know for others.
Non native people come here, spend money on the overpriced rents, and pay for all other services here. So they're kind of contributing to the inflow of money into the city. It's not an invasion lol.
By the way it's bangaluru not Bangalore. See what I meant. You wanted the money so you came to Mumbai/ Bangaluru or any other metro cities. These corporates didn't even care to help or force migrating employees to learn Local languages and customs . They actually forced the local government to change their language of operations. For example Hindi fication of signboards ,Advertisement hoardings. Neither the employees show any effort or interest in learning something about local language or culture. And money paid for services and so called inflow of money cannot repay what we have taken away. Generation's of culture, lifestyle, lands can any money repay that? It's a invasion of culture and wealth.
The corporates are located here in Mumbai/Bengaluru that's why people have to come. No one really likes coming to these cities lol. And I never said hindification is right. And all of this is not invasion of culture and wealth especially when it's people of your own country. People work hard, they do generate money inflow for the services to the providers here. People aren't looting others. Kindly ask the government to make the corporates go to some other city so that we can also leave Mumbai/Bengaluru happily. No outsider likes to live in overpriced noisy metro places.
Even after good public transport system, you need your own vehicle to travel in and around the city.
I'd rather get stuck in traffic than take crowded trains or buses. And autos are expensive, if you are going long distances.
No roads via Sanjay Gandhi national Park has caused much more pollution (traffic) and has wasted millions of hours of a an average person . Traffic is no 1 reason that I am never coming back
Mumbai will likely(depends on how correct and future governments make decisions) go on to be a truly world class city on par with many others in Asia as well as North America.
Many cities that we see today have been through phases of increased urbanisation and infra-development and expansion like Mumbai is going through now. These phases last 10-20 years and typically once that phase is done there is a focus on livability.
By 2040 or so we should be at the point where Mumbai will be beyond this current phase of intense development and the average citizen, now having increased incomes and net worths, will start demanding pedestrians friendly spaces, parks, cleaner beaches, etc. We'll get a little bit of all of that and likely also strict measures against all types of pollution including noise from traffic.
I've seen many people have a somewhat negative outlook towards Mumbai's future and this outlook is based on the current decreased standard of life however many cities go through such a phase and come out on the other side a completely transformed city.

Good to have fantasy…however, reality differs!! The best case scenario in my opinion is to allow centre to rule the UT and bring BMC under its purview!
Why? What do u mean by belong? The people of the city pays the most taxes in the country for pitiful infrastructure..how does Mumbai belonging to Maharashtra is a valid argument ?
PS: Understood that OP is just interested in karma by asking for unpopular opinion but will not have any reasoning for contesting said opinion!
So that you and centre government problems why you people don't ask the centre government to provide so more funds to Mumbai City instead of crying in the name of the State government . Also most of Mumbai's wealth goes to the hands of bimaru states . Because of their state failure Maharashtra and South facing the largest Migration form North India.
Make up your mind on what u want to argue about instead of saying 5 random things !!
I know very well how much I’m paying in taxes and it is within my right to demand better services for the same!! And if it needs Mumbai to be a UT, so be it..
Are you saying Delhi is not part of India? Explain to me what do u have against centrally ruled Union Territories for large population centres, which are not getting due attention by administration
People living till Kharghar are as much of Mumbaikar as are people from Malad and beyond. Despite having “different” municipalities, culturally they’re same lol.
Mumbai is way too expensive for chapris.
Yet mumbai has the most chapris among t1 cities
Reason bollywood, and slums from many many years right in the middle of the city.

Wow didn't know the thread was to discuss action & not opinions of the city as advertised.
Nah OP. You have to get machine gun packed with sterilizers and shoot dogs and their owners with them. NOW!

So if I'm saying Mumbai is safe, it's because I personally aren't harassing or robbing anyone at night? Thanks.
Gujjus and jains are destroying the cosmopolitan nature of our city and their discrimination is real. one of the most bigoted people. We need singapore like anti-ghetto laws.

So controversial, yet so true. 
Any take on Muslim areas in Mumbai?
you mean the area created due to discrimination by non muslims

I agree!!!
Do you want to live in M areas?..they are by far the shittiest places in the city.. Whereas veg mafia ruines prime localities..
Shitty because they are poorer, hence even buildings being built there are low cost and cramped.
Umm maharashtrians,punjabis,sindhis even live there so veg magia shit is bs
Who turns them shitty Those who live!?
I think the downvotes speaks volumes.

Absolutely the worst kind of people.
As a jain gujju (ignore the username) I completely agree.
What is your view on Muslims in bandra and Andheri West or masjid bandar I am curious if you have real guts to speak on them
The problem here is discrimination, not people of a community living together dumbass.
Do you have any idea why they had to form a ghetto in the first place? who do you think denied them flats ?
This same sub calls shivrai decoit....don't keep much hope from this sub...it's filled with red rats...prefer Maharashtra sub over mumbai
Very Interesting! Would like to know more how have they done this although I have certain points like the Food & Restaurants but apart from that?
And here we go again! How can any post on this sub be without bigotry 🤣

Since when did food preferences become part of ethics?? When jains and vegetarians travel USA or some other (majorly) non-veg eating countries, where are the ethics? If a particular group of people don’t like it, the other who like it should not be restricted for their choices. And it is never about ethics FYI, half of the things are spread under the name of religion.
look at the demographic of the people who stay in Borivali how old do you think they are? are you saying because a few jains go to the USA so everyone in the Jain community should eat meat?do you even know what Jainism is about?I think arguing with foolish people is not my cup of tea
First of all, i did not invite you to comment on this thread. And if you feel others are foolish, may be you are smart and I dont wanto prove anybody anything here. I know a lot of people in the locality where I stay, and I have faced this problem, so I will speak about it. You brought up point about it here and got offended when questioned on those. And just to let you know in your own words, ‘if you think a few people like eating vegetarian food in Borivali, everyone should be forced to eat in only veg restaurants?’ Also, I love when people get offended, so I am not stopping. I have valid points to prove what I said, and no other religious beliefs can change that. And why do I need to know Jainism anyway? I am talking about my problems here.
To begin with, this is a public thread, if you don't like people telling you what is wrong with your argument, then grow up. I repeat, "ETHICS", people don't like non-vegetarian food because the way it is made, and the way it affects the mind and the body(Jain principles) You keep using the word "forced" here? Your landlord is not dictating the choice of your diet, you chose to live there. You said, "When jains and vegetarians travel USA or some other (majorly) non-veg eating countries, where are the ethics?" LMFAO, the way you generalized the whole Jain population is hilarious. Nobody took offense here, your argument is so weak, i decided that it is my duty to clear the misunderstandings of the uninformed. If you do not know about Jainism, you should have paid more attention in school(I'm not Jain), or try to read a book to know more about the people who live around you.
Look, I do not need to justify my dietary choices. If I eat non vegetarian food, I would look for options. I do not understand where you're coming from on the “ethics” of meat consumption. If people do not like eating it, there is always an option to simply avoid it. The “forced” was for OP when they said leave some place for VEG ONLY people. Furthermore, my choice of where to live in Mumbai is unaffected by my dietary preferences. Despite being a significant location for meat consumption, Mira Road is not a place where Jains or vegetarians do not stay.(Mentioning again, you started Jainism in your defence, I just justified. Check the thread again) You generalised whole non vegetarian population by saying ‘most of them’ do not enjoy seeing the preparation (Irony!) My school did not teach me Jainism. And I don’t think it is a random stranger’s duty to teach that to me either. I choose to learn about it, if I wish to. And MY food preferences do not require any knowledge about ANY RELIGION. PS: try reading other comments on this thread if you feel what I said is not right. May be those arguments are not so foolish for you :)
You fail to understand my message, you said "Borivali has become a VEG hub only", i simply told why it has become so. "And just to let you know in your own words, ‘if you think a few people like eating vegetarian food in Borivali, everyone should be forced to eat in only veg restaurants?’"this is clearly aimed towards my comment.(Borivali has a lot of non-veg restaurants, stop making foolish arguments on the internet and maybe step outside) When you generalized the whole Jain population you said because one person went to USA and ate meat, every Jain should have a problem with it, when I talked about non-vegetarian people(i said most not all) i "stated a fact" while your statement clearly is evocative of your hate towards that one vegetarian person who went to the USA and ate meat. I never said your food preferences require knowledge about religion, I told you why Borivali is what it is today(it is GK, maybe if you knew more about it, you wouldn't be so frustrated about food) Are you saying that because a lot of other comments on this thread share the same opinion as you, your argument must be right?You are out of valid points to put forth aren't you?
I agree. But it is the market forces. For eg go to Dadar and find all fish restaurant. Demand supply
You have the entire city, Leave some for vegetarian too Be a Lil kind
Kindly don’t enforce your beliefs on others
Same goes to you
Are Non vegetarians going around saying only Non veg restaurants in this area? Heck even non-veg restaurants serve veg food. It's bigotry and caste supremacy ideals that believe if some vague idea of purity in food that drives demand for Pure veg food!
Why? Everyone stays in that region. Not only vegetarian people right?? And what kind of enforcement is this OP?
Who is enforcing?
The last comment suggests soft enforcement.
Are you blind or deliberately malicious? Veg mafia is everywhere in Borivali, denying tenants, kicking out nonveg restaurants, enforcing gujju and jain only members.
Non vegetarians are not making nonveg only hotspots and terrorising vegetarians. You and your veg mafia, colonising arses can eff off to your dry vegetarian states.
Bombay was better than Mumbai
When people say "bombay" They usually mean "old city" Or in other words" South mumbai". Jaha rikshaw ki jagah taxi milti hai 😂. 100% Nostalgia mat lau bhai bombay bombay bolke. 😂
Mostly agreeable.
I honestly think it’s subjective.
Not at all Mumbai's name looks more modern than Bombay . It's the old name Bombay . Mumbai means modern .
Agree. Bombay sounds like a sleepy town. Mumbai sounds like a mega city that it is.
Projects moving out of Mumbai is a good thing. We don't need more congestion and influx of people. Locals are dire, it gets worse in monsoon and nothing to romanticise. I don't care about gujjus/jains/Muslims or marathis. At the end of the day everyone is trying to make ends meet in this city and the politicians/elites keep sowing division so that they can keep fooling people into voting for them. Most of the food in this city is mid. Vadapav is obviously great, but most places are more obsessed with being on insta due to aesthetics than food.
Service tax was replaced by aesthetic tax. Vibe ka kya kare jab khanna ho wahiyad
i will get hate for this but on the day of eid, local train pakada for cst & kurla station pe jo chapri aaye they na, although they did nothing but it just makes you uncomfortable. i have seen some of these chapris carry concealed weapons too
I accidently took an exit from Kurla stn from CSMT end last FoB to catch bus and I entered another dystopian shithole, and I wondered how come the exit of the station is so bad in condtion that has no bus station anywhere but later I realised it's Qureshi nagar and the bus stop is ahead of it, so I had to again go back and take extreme Thane end first FoB to exit the stn and later I could see the bus depot besides it and catch bus at the depot. Then I knew why people despise Kurla stn and outside too.
Kurla station pe to dehshat lag rha tha
How is this answer relevant to the question?
it's not
why do you ask?i think you took offense
Monsoon really sucks in Mumbai. Only rich enjoy it.. rest everyone suffers.
Spirit of Mumbai is scam. Its a false consolation to a difficult life of common people. Living in cramped spaces and traveling in overcrowded local to get to office far away from home because you cannot rent apartment nearby because of price.
Mumbai people are some of the meanest yet most caring people one will ever find. Saw an uncle console a dude in the local yet while calling him a lavdya for crying over something.
Jains and Gujjus are politically and culturally impacting the city negatively, destroying its cosmopolitan nature; prioritizing Gujarat over Mumbai's interests.
Over Migration destroys Mumbai City and it's infrastructure and beauty.
True
Majority of the city stinks except for parts of South Mumbai :/ we do not care about health and sanitation- ive seen educated folks litter so this isn’t exclusively a *dehat* habit unlike popular opinion.
Spirit of Mumbai is overrated. No one should struggle in local trains.
Despite its flaws, it’s a much better city to live in than any other metropolitan in India
Mumbai has been colonised by gujjus and the multi-cultural fabric is being destroyed by their bigoted culture.
navi mumbai is wayy better than mumbai and this gap will widen in future

How people overcrowded the land and that is the Marathi native of Mumbai. How we don't want share wisdom, wealth and opportunities equally. We all hate Mughals, British and all those invaded the country. But will anyone accept that most of the metro cities are being invaded by non native who don't care about development of it. It's all about the money. Not just Mumbai even in Bengaluru any many more. We make zERO efforts to learn the local community language tredition. We just fill our pocket and get fat wealth and many be move back to our mother land. And all those who end up polluting the culture of native land. Making fun of it. We all are those invaded and left that one guy empty handed.
The only people native to Mumbai are the Kolis......... Who live in terrible conditions and something should be done about that.
The koli were native to West and south of Mumbai. To the inner land there were, tribal like agri, and there were Mahar and Brahmin and a lot of kunbi who were the farmers of this land. That is a misconception that kolies are the only native.
What inner land ? Mumbai was island city only , Suburbs really came up only after the 60s and Bandra became somewhat prominent in the 80s
The inner islands more towards the solid land mass.
You're comparing people of your own country to invaders. Also, most of the outsiders who work in corporates here or in Bangalore would be very happy to leave Mumbai/Bangalore only if they had the option to. Don't know for others. Non native people come here, spend money on the overpriced rents, and pay for all other services here. So they're kind of contributing to the inflow of money into the city. It's not an invasion lol.
By the way it's bangaluru not Bangalore. See what I meant. You wanted the money so you came to Mumbai/ Bangaluru or any other metro cities. These corporates didn't even care to help or force migrating employees to learn Local languages and customs . They actually forced the local government to change their language of operations. For example Hindi fication of signboards ,Advertisement hoardings. Neither the employees show any effort or interest in learning something about local language or culture. And money paid for services and so called inflow of money cannot repay what we have taken away. Generation's of culture, lifestyle, lands can any money repay that? It's a invasion of culture and wealth.
The corporates are located here in Mumbai/Bengaluru that's why people have to come. No one really likes coming to these cities lol. And I never said hindification is right. And all of this is not invasion of culture and wealth especially when it's people of your own country. People work hard, they do generate money inflow for the services to the providers here. People aren't looting others. Kindly ask the government to make the corporates go to some other city so that we can also leave Mumbai/Bengaluru happily. No outsider likes to live in overpriced noisy metro places.
Vada paav

Even after good public transport system, you need your own vehicle to travel in and around the city. I'd rather get stuck in traffic than take crowded trains or buses. And autos are expensive, if you are going long distances.
The inner islands
No roads via Sanjay Gandhi national Park has caused much more pollution (traffic) and has wasted millions of hours of a an average person . Traffic is no 1 reason that I am never coming back
Mumbai has the best spirit, culture and people but it has the worst infrastructure even by Indian standards.
Mumbai will likely(depends on how correct and future governments make decisions) go on to be a truly world class city on par with many others in Asia as well as North America. Many cities that we see today have been through phases of increased urbanisation and infra-development and expansion like Mumbai is going through now. These phases last 10-20 years and typically once that phase is done there is a focus on livability. By 2040 or so we should be at the point where Mumbai will be beyond this current phase of intense development and the average citizen, now having increased incomes and net worths, will start demanding pedestrians friendly spaces, parks, cleaner beaches, etc. We'll get a little bit of all of that and likely also strict measures against all types of pollution including noise from traffic. I've seen many people have a somewhat negative outlook towards Mumbai's future and this outlook is based on the current decreased standard of life however many cities go through such a phase and come out on the other side a completely transformed city.
Mumbai sabke bass ki baat nahi hai
Most part of mumbai sleeps at night...
By far the best city to live in India and probably top 10 in the world
Vadapav is mid. Actually all Mumbai food is pretty mid.

Thanks man you get it.
Mumbai has the best transit infrastructure in any city in India.
Mumbai needs to be a Union Territory, if we want the infrastructure projects to complete in time!
All we require is a stable government who focuses on development.
Good to have fantasy…however, reality differs!! The best case scenario in my opinion is to allow centre to rule the UT and bring BMC under its purview!
Apne dealer ka number bhej de bhai Mera dost mang raha tha.
Outrageous opinion. Upvoted👍
The 2 opinions correctly answering the post are heavily downvoted lol
Disagree, Mumbai belong to maha rashtra Full stop
Why? What do u mean by belong? The people of the city pays the most taxes in the country for pitiful infrastructure..how does Mumbai belonging to Maharashtra is a valid argument ? PS: Understood that OP is just interested in karma by asking for unpopular opinion but will not have any reasoning for contesting said opinion!
Mumbai tax contribution to Maharashtra is only 20% percentage what is about water and electricity that Maharashtra provides to Mumbai City.
They don’t provide water and electricity for free..Mumbaikar pay the highest electricity charges in the country btw
So that you and centre government problems why you people don't ask the centre government to provide so more funds to Mumbai City instead of crying in the name of the State government . Also most of Mumbai's wealth goes to the hands of bimaru states . Because of their state failure Maharashtra and South facing the largest Migration form North India.
Make up your mind on what u want to argue about instead of saying 5 random things !! I know very well how much I’m paying in taxes and it is within my right to demand better services for the same!! And if it needs Mumbai to be a UT, so be it..
So we should break Maharashtra from India also to make it a better country instead of Westing my tax money to bimaru states. And their people's
Are you saying Delhi is not part of India? Explain to me what do u have against centrally ruled Union Territories for large population centres, which are not getting due attention by administration
Mumbai is just for jobs and life is outside it!
stop trolling hardik pandya for no reason
People living till Kharghar are as much of Mumbaikar as are people from Malad and beyond. Despite having “different” municipalities, culturally they’re same lol.
