Talk:Bandra

message: Can someone put some information on Bandra's population, such as its size, religions, languages, descent (Goan, East Indian, etc.), age structure, etc.
Please also mention Almeida Park (off Prof. Almeida Road) in the heart of Bandra. 
There was no mention of Bandra's rich legacy of producing field hockey talent for the India teams -including the first ever schoolboy to represent India in the World Cup (1970) - Francis D'Mello from St. Stanislaus. Prominent Bandra field hockey international players include goalkeepers Cedric Pereira (Stanislaus) and Cedric D'Souza (Sacred Heart - but a resident of Bandra); midfielders Joaquium Carvalho (St Andrews)  and Viren Rasquinha (St. Stanislaus); forwards Marcellus Gomes and Francis D'Mello (both St. Stanislaus) and many others.
Can some one put some more light on history of Bandra relating to the 'Old Slaughter House', 'Railway Yard', 'Water Pipe Lines and water supply', Old Cotton Handlooms, Bandra Municipality and its Councilors etc.? As all these topics are related to the old village called 'Navpada'.
Where is the proof that Bandra has "the most churches anywhere in the world"? Please take that off or qualify the statement to say Bandra has a large number of churches for a suburb.
I am removing the following phrase - "it is a great township". This statement is arbitrary. - Siddharth Prabhu 12:14, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The tone of the article is snobbish and chauvinistic. It also suggests that the western part of Bandra is superior to the eastern part. 
To quote a few examples: 
# "is a wealthy suburban area in the city of Mumbai"
# "[Bandra East] is completely overshadowed by its neighbouring city district."
# "Bandra (W), has historically grabbed most of the spotlight"
# "However, the eastern side soon followed its popular counterpart"
I have tried to bring some objectivity into the article. It would be great if someone could help clean it up.
Besides there are a few unverified claims.
# "With a large cosmopolitan population in Mumbai, the predominantly Catholic Bandra"
I doubt if the majority population is Catholic. What do the census figures say?

thread_title:  Section on Bandra Talao/ Bandra Lake 

message: This page looks like a school going child's essay. It does not provide any accurate or useful and concise info. Could we at least start with re writing the intro? [Bandra kid myself by the way, and I find this offensive :P] Neeya The Great (talk) 22:39, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major overhaul required? 

message: Do you guys agree with the inclusion of a map of Bandra with all the localities? Why is there a section on localities followed by a section on geography? Aren't they very much related? Also, is there any way to provide census information for the article by demographics? Bandra is highly cosmopolitan now and while it does have a catholic heritage, I'm quite sure Muslims have far surpassed Catholics in numbers though not by land ownership. By deanery census records there are 55000 Catholics in Bandra West and Less than 10000 in Bandra East.
