Ravi S. Iyer: Worldly

Last updated on 2nd Jan. 2023 To skip introduction and background info. and go to the list directly, please visit below section titled, List of empire/kingdom level rulers of Mumbai (Bombay) and nearby areas from 3rd century BCE (over 2000 years ago) . This post follows up on my recent post: History of Mumbai wiki page has detailed information on Mumbai history going back to Mauryan rule from 3rd century BCE, https://ravisiyermisc.blogspot.com/2022/10/history-of-mumbai-wiki-page-has.html , 1st Oct. 2022 In the above post I had mentioned that "I have dropped the plan of writing my own post on list of kingdom/empire level rulers of Mumbai from 250 BCE". Later I felt that such a post as this would be useful for my own reference later on, as this post has a summary list of kingdoms/empires that ruled Mumbai and nearby areas, links to wikipedia or other pages that give more info. on the kingdom/empire or its period of rule over Mumbai, and so can be a quick info. page as compared...

In a previous post around a week back, I had written that in the near future, I will be working on and putting up a post giving some info. (chronological list if possible) about (kingdom/empire) rulers of Mumbai and surrounding areas from 250 BCE based on Wikipedia. As I started digging up info. on this matter, I found that the wiki page, History of Mumbai, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Mumbai , was very informative. In particular, sections like "Age of Dynastical Empires", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Mumbai#Age_of_Dynastical_Empires gave the dynasties/empires who ruled Mumbai in chronological order (though not as a list). I did find some discrepancies though, between this section and other wikipedia sources, on some details. But they are not so major and perhaps I can put up a small post sharing these discrepancies that I found. So what I wanted to do was already available in some form, in the above wiki page. Therefore I have dropped the plan of wr...
