The Mumbai Telugus are a social community of Telugu language speakers living in Mumbai, the Financial capital of India. There are about 5 lakh Telugu speakers in Mumbai.[citation needed] This includes both those who are born in Mumbai, and those born in Andhra Pradesh/Telangana or elsewhere in the Telugu diaspora. They are one of the major communities in Mumbai today.[citation needed]
History[edit]
The Telugu community's links with Maharashtra date back to Chhatrapati Shivaji's times. Old records say that the major batch of Telugus arrived in Maharashtra in the 17th century.[citation needed] A devastating famine and the Razakar excesses in Hyderabad fueled fresh migration to Mumbai in the early part of the 20th century when the city was in the midst of a textile/real estate boom, and hectic construction activity.[citation needed]
Many joined textile mills, most of them Padmashalis, a sub-caste known for its weaving-spinning skills. Others toiled to build Mumbai landmarks such as the Metro cinema and the art-deco apartments in south Mumbai. Sayajirao Silam and Narasimha Puppala, Mumbai's leading political figures in the 1950s, were Telugus.[1][2]
Due to 2000's IT boom, there has been significant increase in floating of Telugu software professionals to Mumbai city.[citation needed]
