This is a continuation to the previous post on the same subject. (You might want to have a look at this to know why certain 'obvious' names dont appear). Future additions to this list will be done in this post itself. A new post would not be created. I will however ensure that the post reflects the time of updation.

I must also add that one of the rivers has been a source for some of the personalities enlisted above. Also, I had expected a large list of personalities (Maharashtra and Bombay/Mumbai have played a significant part in our cities and India's development. So where are its local home-grown heroes .... ?). This list had initially started out as one which would enlist the persons more connected with Bombay. But since the names were just a trickle, the realm of this list was expanded to prominent Maharashtrians all over. The quest for more names continues ....
