As if finding a house wasn't hard enough, your taste buds will make a big difference too when you attempt to househunt in Bombay.

As this city of 16 million becomes the cosmopolitan main nerve of a booming Indian economy, real estate is increasingly intersecting with cuisine. More middle-class Indians are moving in, more of them are vegetarian, and the law is on their side.

Just another way for upper castes, jains and the rich to keep muslims,
lower caste hindus, Maharashtrians from Konkan and christians out. If
the same thing had happened in a UP village, the press and the world
would have smething about it.
