AHMEDABAD: An editorial that appeared in the Shiv Sena mouthpiece, 'Saamna', on May 1 raised doubts about Gujarati settlers' sense of belonging to Mumbai and Maharashtra and accused them of 'exploiting' Mumbai to generate wealth for themselves. If Mumbai today has become the financial capital of the country - a melting pot of cultures - it is largely due to the efforts of the British in persuading businessmen from Surat to settle in erstwhile Bombay.
The Sena mouthpiece, which has once again tried to raise the bogey of 'exploitation' by Gujaratis, needs to be taken on a walk down memory lane.
The story goes back to May 1662. King Charles II of England married Catherine of Braganza whose family gave a huge dowry to the groom. A part of this gift was the Portuguese territory of Bombay. However, Charles did not want the trouble of ruling these islands and rented out the whole of Bombay to the East India Company for just £10 in gold a year.
After the Company got Bombay, it first invited Gujarati businessmen to settle there by offering them incentives along with a guarantee of their safety. The British wanted to ensure a prosperous future for the city. As a first step, an agreement was signed with Nima Parekh, a businessman from Gujarat. The Company promised all members of the caste which chose to move to Bombay that they would be free to follow their religion and would be "secured from all molestation". The 10-point agreement came to be known as the 'Treaty with Nima Parekh in 1677'.
The book, 'The English in Western India', published in 1856 by Anderson Philip, talks about these pre-conditions. "Not only artisans, but opulent tradesmen were also induced to settle by promise of liberal treatment and religious toleration," the book says. The treaty allowed the settlers to cremate their dead and observe all such ceremonies as were customary. It was emphasised that none would be compelled to embrace Christianity.

Gerald Aungier was the second Governor of Bombay. He was made the president of the Surat factor and the governor of Bombay in 1672, which posts he held till 1675. He was responsible for the initial growth of the city. He died in the year 1677.Although the Portuguese king had ceded all the islands of Bombay to the British king Charles, the Portuguese in India refused to hand over the the territory. It was not till 1675 that Aungier actually took possession of Colaba and Old Man's Island, thus completing the transfer of power to the British. His plan of fortifying the main island, from Dongri in the north to the harbour, had to wait until 1715 for completion, when Charles Boone became the governor of the town.
