PADNATES IN MUMBAI:
The expatriation of Mahallu residents originally began end of 18th century. To start with, they had chosen Manglore and Mysore and end up their destination beyond the border Rangoon (capital of Burma now the Myanmar). Being displaced after 2nd world war some of them moved to Far East countries like Malaysia and Indonesia. Those who migrated to Malaysia were T.K.
