The spirit of Mumbai has its roots in Surat
In the years after the eclipse of the Mughals, the British took over the city’s administration, and mercantile Surtis loved them for their ability to maintain order--the traders’ only demand from government

Rightly said ...Surat is the most liberal city of Gujarat. This explains why people of Surat are considered as the most foul mouthed people in Gujarat. They experiment a lot with language and vent out their emotions through this mode leaving no energy for any heinous crime.
Spirit of Surtis is very infectious !!!!
