What is it?[edit]

Forgive my ignorance, but what is Girgaon, exactly? Is it a district or suburb of Mumbai, or a neighborhood of the city?

Definition of suburb does not apply to Girgaon, as Mumbai has expanded a lot from a city of seven islands. For your purpose, Girgaon is a densely populated area of Mumbai. Mumbai itself is a district of Konkan Division. Npindia 15:13, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge?[edit]

Is this a different spelling of Gurgaon? ~ Booyabazooka 02:01, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No it is correct. I live near the area. =Nichalp «Talk»= 13:25, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

One more thing I would like to highlight, Girgaum pincode is not unique 400004, many parts of pincode 400002 are also a part of Girgaum area. eg: Jitekar Wadi, Amar Wadi, Fanas Wadi, etc. have a pincode 400002, but still are Girgaum's part. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.199.54.121 (talk) 05:42, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kokani[edit]

There is no such religion. Konkanee/Konkani is a group of people who reside in Konkani Strip of Maharashthra.

"...Marathi, Gujarati, Kokani, Jainism, Christianity and many more other Hindu religions"....!!??[edit]

This statement requires correction.

Marathi, Gujarati & Kokani (or is it Konkani ?) are languages spoken by Hindus staying in differnt parts of India. "...and many other Hindu religions..." has no meaning. There is only ONE Hindu religion. The Religion is practised by people of different regions and therefore is practised in different ways with people following local customs and traditions. But ALL Hindus share a common religious bond.

Name[edit]

Shouldnt the name of the article read "Girgaum" - spelling used officially at the moment? Around The Globe^{सत्यमेव जयते} 08:34, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
