Culture and attitudes in Mumbai
Mumbai is amongst the top cosmopolitan cities in India. Compared to the rest of the country, attitudes are quite liberal, though that is not saying much. With high and regular influx of immigrant population from rest of the states of India, the citizens, popularly known as 'Mumbaikers', have shown remarkable tolerance towards other cultures, making it a true cultural melting pot. However in recent times, this tolerance, considered unique to Mumbai, has sometimes bowed under external pressures. Between the 60s and 80s, there was resentment about the non-Marathi speakers taking away jobs. The 1991 and 1993 riots between Hindus and Muslims did attempt to affect this spirit, however the city managed to recover from these, once again proudly highlighting true 'spirit of Mumbai'.
