📍मुंबई चोर बाजार | History of Chor Bazaar Mumbai | Antique Shops

History of Chor Bazaar Mumbai The history of Chor Bazaar dates back to 150 years ago when a local market, a very crowded, loud and noisy place, was set up at Duncan Road. The market itself gradually shifted to its current location which is adjacent to Grant Road Station. The market used to be called ‘Shor Bazaar’ meaning, ‘Noisy Market’ in Hindi due to its loud vendors and noisy by lanes. It is said that the Europeans could not pronounce the name right and used to call it as ‘Chor Bazaar’ thereby changing the entire meaning of the name to ‘Thieves Market’. As time passed by, the market eventually got its permanent name as ‘Chor Bazaar’. Another story associated with the name of the flea market is that a violin and a couple of other belongings from Queen Victoria’s collection went missing while being shipped from England and were later found at Chor Bazaar. However, there is no witness to the incident. Whatever be the story behind the name, and even if it is no longer a stolen goods market, Chor Bazaar used to be flooded with stolen goods at one point of time in history. All stolen items from around the city would end up appearing at Chor Bazaar for resale quite regularly.
