  • Gerald Aungier (1640 – 30 June 1677) was the 2nd Governor of Bombay. He was made the president of the Surat factory and the governor of Bombay in 1669, which posts he held until his death in 1677. He was responsible for the initial growth of the city. He is said to have famously quoted Bombay to be "the city which by God's assistance is intended to be built". It was during his tenure that the small town island of Bombay was converted into a promising hub for commerce. Great care was taken to bring the best traders, artisans and other professions to settle in Bombay. He is credited with adopting principles of religious toleration, empowered local self-governments and a strong focus on commerce ably supported by the creation of courts and enforcement through the formation of the local militia of Bhandari youth which evolved into the Bombay Police. Encyclopædia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 4, Slice 2 states that he was brother of Francis Aungier, 3rd Lord Aungier of Longford and 1st Earl of Longford in Ireland. Though significant research on the life and work of Gerald Aungier is not readily available, his contribution in shaping Bombay is broadly recognised by early prominent historians Da Cunha, Douglas and Edwardes in their separate works. Historian Phirozshah Malabari dedicates a full chapter to Gerald Aungier in his book Bombay in the Making. Historian states Aungier's great work was: "to weld into one homogeneous mass the discordant materials of Asiatic nationalities, to solve the problem which had never been solved before, as to how a great multitude of men of diverse religions and races should live together in peace and harmony, free from discord within and aggression without — this was the work he set himself to do, and he did it."

  • Gerald Aungier (?- 1677) fue el segundo gobernador de Bombay. Fue convertido en presidente de la fábrica Surat y gobernador de Bombay en 1672, puestos que mantuvo hasta 1675. Fue el responsable del crecimiento inicial de la ciudad. Aunque el rey portugués había cedido todas las islas de Bombay al rey británico Carlos II de Inglaterra, los portugueses en India se rehusaron a entregar el territorio. No fue sino hasta 1675 que Aunguier tomó posesión efectiva de Colaba y la Isla de la Mujer vieja, completando de ese modo la transferencia del poder a los británicos. Su plan de fortalecer la isla principal, desde Dongri en el norte hacia la bahía, tuvo que esperar hasta 1715 para ser completado, cuando Charles Boone se convirtió en el gobernador del pueblo. Ofreció varios incentivos a viajeros experimentados y comerciantes para establecer negocios en Bombay. Sus ofertas fueron lo suficientemente atractivas como para atraer a comerciantes y artesanos de Gujarat a establecerse en el nuevo poblado. El resultado fue el primer gran aumento en la población de Bombay. Entre 1661 y 1675 la población se multiplicó por seis. En 1669, el Gobernador Aunguer formó la milicia con jóvenes Bhandari para tratar con las bandas callejeras que asaltaban a marinos. De ese modo, la Milicia de Bhandari fue el primer establecimiento policíaco de Bombay durante la India Británica. Fue durante su primera gobernación, en 1670, que la primera imprenta fue importada y comenzó a funcionar en Bombay. (es)
