The Mumbai Makeover
April 2008
Located in the heart of Mumbai, the Dharavi slum is like a city within the city. Now ambitious plans for redevelopment mean its days are numbered.
Home to one million residents, Dharavi is a hive of activity providing Mumbai with an essential recycling service. However, the slum will soon give way to brand-new apartments. Developers claim everyone will be re-housed into better accommodation, but unfair rules mean most families won’t be able to benefit from the change. Driven out of their homes, they will lose everything. As one mother puts it: “We will stay here until they demolish, then we’re in the hands of God.”

Doubt it, the caste …
Doubt it, the caste system, segregation between religious communities and other such social ills all are putting a damper on it, and not enough is being done to bring in the words of Ghandi to stop all the above. Only when you have the MASSES living middle class lives and able to buy goods and services in droves can you have a thriving economy, as seen in the first world. So much hatred for separate castes and other such stuff NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED FIRST, EVERYONE MUST BE MIDDLE CLASS.

How does your insulting comments solve anything? Do you find it funny to offend Indians by some reason?
Don’t you feel any sorrow whilst watching this? Get a life and try to help people instead of being so inhuman. People like you disgust me so much, and make me lose faith in humanity.
