Kamathipura
Kamathipura, which forms an almost perfect rectangle between Bellasis Road, Duncan Road, Grant Road and Suklaji Street, was until 1800, liable to periodical flooding by the sea. The section, which earns its title from the Kamathis, a tribe of artisans and labourers who immigrated from His Highness the Nizam’s Dominions towards the end of the eighteenth century, has been occupied by the lower economic classes of the population, and is known to be one of Mumbai’s most popular red light areas.

Malabar Hill
Malabar Hill, originally named Sri Gundi meaning lucky stone, derived its name from the fact that the neighbouring Walkeshwar temple, was a favourite haunt of the Malabar pirates. Shri Gundi was called Malabar Point as the pirates of Dharmapatan, Kotta, and Porka on the Malabar Coast, who, at the beginning of British rule in Bombay, used to lie in wait for the northern fleet in the still waters of the sea of the north end of Back Bay.
