Mumbai came under [[Portugese]] rule in 1534 and was ceded to [[England]] in 1661 as part of the [[dowry]] of Catherine of Braganza, wife of the English king [[Charkles II]]. The city was thus the first part of India to come under English/[[British]] rule, and it remained so until Indian independence in 1947.
