4. INTRODUCTION
• Mumbai’s growth since the 1940s has been steady
if not phenomenal. At the turn of the 20th century
its population was some 850,000; by 1950 it had
more than doubled; and over the next 50 years it
increased nearly 10-fold to exceed 16 million.
• The city’s birth rate is much lower than that of the
country as a whole because of family-planning
programs.
• The high overall growth rate is largely attributable
to the influx of people in search of employment.

5. • Because of the limited physical expanse of
the city, the growth in Mumbai’s population
has been accompanied by an astounding
increase in population density.
• By the start of the 21st century the city had
reached an average of some 68,500 persons
per square mile (26,500 per square km).
• Settlement is especially dense in much of
the city’s older section; the wealthy areas
near Back Bay are less heavily populated.

6. • The city is truly cosmopolitan, and
representatives of almost every religion and
region of the world can be found there.
• Almost half the population is Hindu. Significant
religious minorities include Muslims, Christians,
Buddhists, Jains, Sikhs, Zoroastrians, and Jews.
• Almost every Indian language and many foreign
languages are spoken in Mumbai.
• Marathi, the state language, is the dominant
Indian language, followed by Gujarati, Hindi,
and Bengali (Bangla). Other languages include
Pashto, Arabic, Chinese, English, and Urdu.
