History
The Mumbai Rationalist Association is a voluntary organisation in the city of Mumbai that promotes scientific skepticism and critique supernatural claims in society based on the principles of science, atheism and rationalism. The organisation is based in Mumbai and its area of operation is the western state of Maharashtra in India. It organises seminars and lectures and its representatives regularly appear in print media. The organisation uses social media widely in order to propagate its ideas and is currently headed by Elsamma.

Mumbai Rationalist Association traces its history to 1970s when emigrants from Kerala began organizing rationalists and atheists. They formed Bombay Rationalist Association (BRA). BRA later merged with Maharashtra Rationalist Association, which was largely an organisation of rationalists belonging to different linguistic communities, mostly Gujarati's and Maharashtrian's.
