I highly recommend the book Maximum City for a portrayal of Mumbai.
I lived there in 2007-8 and loved the city. Great people. Multiple times rickshaw drivers would chase after me because I didn't get take my change back after passing them some small bills. Very honest and hard-working -- and amazingly resilient. Felt very safe there, even in (especially in?) the slums.
Beautiful international airport and a brand new monorail in bandra.

Most of Mumbai is land created from ocean. Like the Netherlands!
