Bandra
Bandra is a suburb of West Mumbai in the Maharashtra state of India. Bandra is a posh locality and often called the ''Queen of the suburbs''. It is home to many Bollywood and cricketing personalities such as Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Sachin Tendulkar. == History == The name 'Bandra' is possibly an adaptation of the Persian (and also Urdu) word ''Bandar'', which Duncan Forbes' ''A Dictionary, Hindustani and English'' (1848) defines as 'a city; an emporium; a port, harbour; a trading town to which numbers of foreign merchants resort'. In Marathi, Bandra is known as ''Vandre'', which also means 'port' and is possibly derived from the same Urdu/Persian word. The area was under the rule of the Silhara dynasty in the 12th century. Bandra was a tiny fishing village inhabited by Kolis (fishermen) and farmers. It was acquired by the British East India Company while the rest of Mumbai belonged to the Portuguese.
