I'm from a very chilled out part of India. I lived and worked in Mumbai for 5 years and it F-ed my head up real bad. When you have a house and a garden of your own in your own hometown, it's not worth finding work in a city like Mumbai.
Mumbai's slums are some of the most intensely productive (in terms of GNP) areas in the country. In one or two room shacks people live and work all day making tires into sandals, manufacturing various basic industrial parts and much more.
The part where the documentary shows the promises of the execs against the contrast of the reality of the poor people that have been screwed over by the corporation is so incredible and valuable. Big big props to the crew for recording and showing everything. Just another proof of why you NEVER take the word of a rich exec guy.
Right, but you also cant really rely on or trust poor squatters that dont produce anything and dont pay taxes or contribute to their communities and make future development impossible on the land that they do not own. Theyre basically stealing to begin with. Its a huge problem in 3rd world countries that masses of squatters overtake peoples land that they own, and fight to keep it, as if were still in the middle ages.
The guy complains about no parks and no school in his new housing block, but where were the parks and schools in the packed slum...? Similarly, the PR guy "briefs the dad thinking we don't speak the language" and then the interview is conducted in that same language.... So of course you speak it. What foolishness is this?
Did they ever cover how India's caste system affects who has prosperity and who doesn't? It used to be law but was officially banned and continues to exist unofficially.
The part with the real estate tycoon talking about his plans to demolish a slum and profit from it is an incredibly candid look into the human face of inequality.
So he's evil. He has no plans to make things better. He said himself that his great great grandfather was in the same business. Where will these people live?
I went there and the open sewers were the most disappointing part. I feel even the poorest and the richest person would agree that a good underground or at least closed sewer system would be beneficial for all. For such a massive and important city to still have a lack of sewer infrastructure is truly sad to witness.

That’s about the number of people in my housing complex in Bangalore, India. The city itself has about 15mn residents, comparable to the entire population of Canada 🇨🇦. I wish it were a little less crowded and one with more nature.
I am just living on the coast in Oregon growing legal weed and raging. Fuck this 3rd world life. Literally all fake ass people pretending to be cool. None of these losers are cool. Just wack people who profited on those less fortunate.
Absolutely. Also, when I look at "cities of the future" like beijng, or those Arab modern cities, I DON'T see the future or hope. I see dated "futures of the 20th century which are DEADLY and eradicate the poorer classes instead of investing and developing for the majority of the people, who have to work most hours of the day, yet can even cover the rent.
Liiiiiiike… Goat curry, spices, poop, sweat, urine, other kinds of curries, flowers/trees/greenery, car exhaust, pollution, etc., all mixed up in one beautiful aromatic package??? 🤪🤪🤪🤪 Some of those smells are good of course, others not so much…
I've never known noise like it when I was in Mumbai. Constant beeping of car horns. It is nonstop. Some places in Europe are bad, but it really just sounds like almost a constant buzz of horns in Mumbai.
@@vxrdrummer that’s pretty much everywhere in India. I was in Dharamshala once and I saw a single car, at 3 am, driving down the road, constantly honking its horn. I think they use them like turn signals. No other cars or pedestrians were present.
That's one thing amongst a few that I don't miss at all about Bombay since I moved to Canada 16 years ago. I was just talking to a colleague the other day about this and was saying that the government in India needs to put out PSA's to discourage people from using their horns. Nothing like being in a traffic jam there, honking isn't gonna speed up the traffic, yet they keep on honking..
You've to keep in mind the TFR rate of each country when you judge how fast it's population is growing/declining. A TFR rate of 2 is ideal for a country which represents population stability. As of 2023, India's has been on a slow but gradual decline below 2, with some estimates showing it to be between 1.5 and 2
It's mostly a thing amongst the impoverished and uneducated, where they still think that having large families like their grandparents is normal. When I was in high school in India, I cannot forget how my teacher was stressing about the importance of having fewer children and explained to us how people who have many kids almost always live in poverty because the parents can't earn enough to support their kids which continues a cycle of poverty and struggle.
They probably don't have easy access to preventive measures and there more children means more people to help you stay afloat but at the same time they cost you, it's a vicious cycle of poverty.
That leather business owner who started to cry. You can feel the pain he went threw. Sad that there are people in this world that need billions and billions when some are starving and only need like 2 dollars a day to survive.
Word of the day: gratitude. I teach high school English, and many of my students are from India. They are kind, smart, funny, and dedicated to their education. There are days teaching seems like drudgery, then I see documentaries like this one that remind me that tens of millions of people would gladly trade places with me. If you have a job that is rewarding and allows you to live a good life, be thankful.
@@marykok7616My sentiments exactly !! That would be a great way of investment in society ! To build enough housing for them, that's not cramped or shabby.
Gentrification exists here too. The real estate agent wanting to tear down Dharavi to make more millions is absolutely abhorent. As is the "public transportation" system. The possibility of dying on the way to work is shocking. Yet, the resourcefulness of poor people is a necessity, and the large corrupt gap between the have & the have nots is devastating and heartless.
If people actually had a brain, they realize that investing in public infrastructure would lead to healthier workers and greater quality of life for the owners as well, but people rather just take the money and run with it.
Much respect to the poor communities that keep a positive mind set in these tough conditions, count your blessings guys, you never know who else has it bad out there
Here's the other side of the coin: yes, it's incredible that they still smile despite the situation their leaders puts them through. Or... Perhaps they are put in this situation because no matter what, they still smile. There comes a time when being angry is necessary. To revolt and change. Keeping always positive usually plays against you in the long run.
it's heart breaking to see how the realtor spoke of evacuating the slum community and building better spaces for already wealthy class. let's live and let others live.
in Indian society the caste system is very old and quite deeply ingrained. people from the slums, the dirt poor, the menial workers and garbage collectors of society are not treated the same as blue and white collar workers. they'll house them as a penance because the law requires it, but they don't necessarily see them as deserving of it.
Can i just say thank you so much for posting these. It's so lovely to have a place to watch documentaries, especially, because of the amount of options you give us🥂 We really do appreciate it.

Positives, and negatives.
That's the sad reality, even religion teaches you always compare with those who have less than you to know what you're complaining about, your whole life will be spent on validating your problems or thanking for what you have and finding that stoichiometric balance.
I live in a 400 square meter home on half a hectare in a forest and I paid less than that. If you want a good life, you have to get away from the densely populated parts of the Earth.
What a nightmare. I was in India for three months, and although I rode the train twice, it was always outside of rush hour, simply because I would not have had the patience otherwise.
Balancing the needs of a booming population while addressing slums is a tough task. It's a stark reminder that urban growth must consider both human and environmental well-being.
This is why we need to create reproduction control. We can't let people just make millions and millions more people and more than half of them can't even be fed every day. Population control needs to become a thing.
In '92 with my parents and a dream, we left India and came to Canada. I was 2 yrs old. I visited again when I was 8yr 6mo old - Bombay was quite an experience. The trains were packed, there is no personal space, the smell of perspiration was thick. Goa was beautiful, a once hidden oasis that I am sure is destroyed now. I have heard the beaches are far from what they were 20 years ago.
Its a shame what has happened to India, but Canada is buckling under the strain of all the freshly imported Indians and their malicious in-group preferences. Everyone else is expected to be diverse when hiring but its commonly known Indians only seek to hire other Indians and try to push out native canadians. Not really acceptable in a modern culture you are trying to become a part of.
It is absolutely infernal. I lived in new Bombay (navi Mumbai) and it was much better but i never got used to it. Long story short, i left after three years and have zero regrets. All im going to say is some things arent worth it.. Not just that one can only have an idea of the number of people during the moonsoon season when the tracks get waterlogged and the trains are unusable. I recall seeing this up close and personal one august and that is when i decided enough was enough. Zero regrets

OMG. Indonesian railway used to be like India 13 years ago, but in the past 13 years, our railway has been reformed 180⁰. Now according to World Economic Forum 2019, our railway quality ranks 18th in the world. It used to rank 80th+ back in 2009. And now in 2023 we have just had our first 350 km/hour high-speed rail completed.
The birthrate in India has actually dropped. A demographic adjustment is being made as more and more Indians move from poverty to better living situations. China went through this and many people were lifted out of poverty as the country modernized. It's not perfect, but nothing ever is.
Overpopulation is a myth. What you're looking at is poor/non-existent city planning along with apparently absent local government services/intervention, and rampant unchecked economic inequality. The rich are able to exploit the system and the people in it to their benefit at the detriment to those lower in the system. In my opinion, this will be the United States in the next 50 years. We're quickly turning into a corporatocracy. Soon, only the ultra wealthy and farmers (or others who are self sustaining and/or able to live away from the city ) will live a decent life.
overpopulation is just a result of lack of education, seclution of poor communities and inequality. its not the main cause of poverty. the real problem is inequality of opportunities in life and corruption from the government
A great video, but it can't capture the SMELLS of Bombay! I lived there for 3 years and I can tell you that the heat, crowds, and odors are truly overwhelming. The Indian people I met are very friendly, helpful, hardworking, and very smart. It's a shame that such poverty exists.

Believe it or not but is is going to be beneficial for them in the future, we in latin america have the opposite problem, few people compared to the land and resources available and birth rates almost on par with european ones. Poor countries that became industrialized akk have a common pattern: they have big populations than can support a strong local market and there are more incentive to develop or invest on big industries because there are more people to benefit from it. In countries with smaller populations importing goods despite tariffs is more efficient than developing own industries following the doctrines of free market
@@1lyxbollyvykn714 It was good that the Latin American population decreased because the cities could no longer handle the population coming from the interior, and the countries are also very unequal, so poverty only increases with the increase in population. In addition, several forest areas were deforested with the increase in population. There is also illegal immigration to the United States, which is mainly from countries with higher population density. I am from Brazil and the population in the cities here has already settled down and does not increase as much each year. This is good because the cities will finally be able to organize themselves properly.
I suppose you would love to live like that or to have a slum right under your window? If those slum dwellers had any regard for themselves, they wouldn't be breeding like crazy.

The Indians have an unusual scent or smell here in America. It’s very strong .

Some of those smells are good of course, others not so much…
Not smell, STINK
Its not the bad smell, but rather how much dust and other pollutants in the air is.
Pure a$$ funk, everywhere
I've never known noise like it when I was in Mumbai. Constant beeping of car horns. It is nonstop. Some places in Europe are bad, but it really just sounds like almost a constant buzz of horns in Mumbai.
@@vxrdrummer that’s pretty much everywhere in India. I was in Dharamshala once and I saw a single car, at 3 am, driving down the road, constantly honking its horn. I think they use them like turn signals. No other cars or pedestrians were present.
Same with Nigeria
That's one thing amongst a few that I don't miss at all about Bombay since I moved to Canada 16 years ago. I was just talking to a colleague the other day about this and was saying that the government in India needs to put out PSA's to discourage people from using their horns. Nothing like being in a traffic jam there, honking isn't gonna speed up the traffic, yet they keep on honking..
And I've never known smell like in Mumbai.

Now they even don't have interchangeability of generations with birth rate 2.0 and still decreasing.
You've to keep in mind the TFR rate of each country when you judge how fast it's population is growing/declining. A TFR rate of 2 is ideal for a country which represents population stability. As of 2023, India's has been on a slow but gradual decline below 2, with some estimates showing it to be between 1.5 and 2

'I have 9 children..' Why, man, why?

What other recreation do you suggest?
It's mostly a thing amongst the impoverished and uneducated, where they still think that having large families like their grandparents is normal. When I was in high school in India, I cannot forget how my teacher was stressing about the importance of having fewer children and explained to us how people who have many kids almost always live in poverty because the parents can't earn enough to support their kids which continues a cycle of poverty and struggle.
@@wilburdesouza Why uneducated, man? Poor and educated is a thing. 🙄
They probably don't have easy access to preventive measures and there more children means more people to help you stay afloat but at the same time they cost you, it's a vicious cycle of poverty.

Keeping always positive usually plays against you in the long run.

You cannot help society by letting slums fester.
in Indian society the caste system is very old and quite deeply ingrained. people from the slums, the dirt poor, the menial workers and garbage collectors of society are not treated the same as blue and white collar workers. they'll house them as a penance because the law requires it, but they don't necessarily see them as deserving of it.

In '92 with my parents and a dream, we left India and came to Canada. I was 2 yrs old. I visited again when I was 8yr 6mo old - Bombay was quite an experience. The trains were packed, there is no personal space, the smell of perspiration was thick. Goa was beautiful, a once hidden oasis that I am sure is destroyed now. I have heard the beaches are far from what they were 20 years ago.
Damn…. That really is sad to hear
And now your countrymen are ruining canada, harassing girls on college campuses and abusing social safety nets
Its a shame what has happened to India, but Canada is buckling under the strain of all the freshly imported Indians and their malicious in-group preferences. Everyone else is expected to be diverse when hiring but its commonly known Indians only seek to hire other Indians and try to push out native canadians. Not really acceptable in a modern culture you are trying to become a part of.

Over population is a very scary reality for many developing nations and almost always perpetuates poverties.
The birthrate in India has actually dropped. A demographic adjustment is being made as more and more Indians move from poverty to better living situations. China went through this and many people were lifted out of poverty as the country modernized. It's not perfect, but nothing ever is.
Overpopulation is a myth. What you're looking at is poor/non-existent city planning along with apparently absent local government services/intervention, and rampant unchecked economic inequality. The rich are able to exploit the system and the people in it to their benefit at the detriment to those lower in the system.
In my opinion, this will be the United States in the next 50 years. We're quickly turning into a corporatocracy. Soon, only the ultra wealthy and farmers (or others who are self sustaining and/or able to live away from the city ) will live a decent life.
overpopulation is just a result of lack of education, seclution of poor communities and inequality. its not the main cause of poverty. the real problem is inequality of opportunities in life and corruption from the government

Mostly i stood on tip of the enterance train door, but sometimes i climb up to the roof, that's normal at this time
But now, much better train, with otomatic doors and air conditioner, much more modern
and currently Indonesia already has a fast train with a speed of 350 km/hour
Mumbai is also getting those trains.
Gua aja naik kereta terakhir tahun 2009 terus pas 2016 dari jakarta ke surabaya , pas berak sambil ngerokok di kamar mandi kereta dan di depan pintu udh di tunggu petugas di suruh turun paksa di stasion terdekat😢
Akhirnya di turun in di jogja
Kereta api sekarang ketat banget , padahal dulu ada yabg bawa ayam ngerokok sembarangan 😂
Tapi sekarang bersih banget sih nyaman juga , memang perubahan butuh ketegasan
@@dannial7744iya bang setuju dg statement terakhir. Tpi aku ngakak yg awalnya.haha
@@ayushc5704 will, plan to, is going to,…. Typical Indian terminology. You’d better jump after it is accomplished.
The older gentleman crying recalling his struggles 😢 it really touched me. I hope his family can keep thriving and all the others here, too. I respect them.
Toronto is beginning to look remarkably like Mumbai, eh? 🇨🇦
Don't you still not understand when they arrived they will start to "build" Mumbai everywhere?
Our trash elites in Canada would happily turn Toronto into Mumbai if it meant more wealth for them.
a truly dystopian megalopolis
Real dystopia is nyc with those pride flags and hookup culture.
Lmao, people don't live their lives with dramatic British voiceovers and repeated footage of crowded trains. British documentaries of India are hilariously one dimensional
Considering your idea of dystopia no wonder India is a hell hole. At least a pride flag would lower your population density. 🤣
@@Kathakathan11Oooo buddy’s mad because he’s homophobic and can’t get laid.
A beautiful building the people in that neighborhood can't afford....
Yeah, you target the slums for development because they don't have the means to fight back.. you only have to listen to them (practically trope villains) "the school needs to go" and a "lovely view" to that other guy seems to be a sea of high rises he owns or sold..
The poor (tricked into) living in slum sardine cans developers profited off building in order to get the land to build their ivory towers on.. wouldn't be surprised if they had even gone full supervillain and demolished an orphanage too!
Who said they can’t lmao
If I were to ever decide on a city to settle in india, it would definitely be Mumbai. I am Indian grew up in the US and my favorite city on the east coast is New York City. New York City and Mumbai have so many things in common.
I’m a Jakartan and I feel despite having a gigantic population with lots of problems like Mumbai, Jakarta is still a more comfortable city to live
they believe in reincarnation, they believe their next live would be better. otherwise they would have a revolution on their hands.
Do you also think it's comfortable to live in East Timor?
@@cashewnuttel9054 what do you know about east timor? You know nothing about our politics. Read some books to know the history of jakarta then yoi can talk. Our politics are forged from blood and fire, we came a long way after 1998. if i were live in mumbai slum i will persuade people to make revolution,cuih.
I am Jakartan and I disagree
Durentiga adem ayem
This is a fine example of the world we live in....the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and it's the natural world that ends up suffering because of it all....🐆😔😠
Plus the rich start wars and send the poor to fight them
Poor breed like rabbits then beg to feed their 9 children while the rich work smart to create their empire
How do the poor expect to get any richer when they keep having so many children and can't even afford a two-room apartment? You notice the rich don't have so many kids? Don't blame the rich because others are irresponsiblly breeding.
@@mladabitanga2677exactly, if I won the lottery ,say millions am i the evil rich person, in life there are winners and losers
Biggest issue of all is overpopulation. More habitat for people is less habitat for most animals. See the leopard bit at the end.
The problem is people from all over India comes to Mumbai for work,the system can't afford this.
I think India should also do development & economic equity, develop poor areas and regulations hinder urbanization
There beginning part about an average of 7 people per day dying on the Mumbai train system is absolutely heartbreaking. The rest is just mind blowing that people can live their lives under those crowded conditions. I wonder why more people don’t leave in search for a more peaceful existence
great documentary! keep up the great work. this shows my city the way it is.
This is a fantastic channel. Thanks to all involved for your hard work.
We have absolutely horrible living conditions lets make another two children.
And then blame others for it!
Believe it or not but is is going to be beneficial for them in the future, we in latin america have the opposite problem, few people compared to the land and resources available and birth rates almost on par with european ones. Poor countries that became industrialized akk have a common pattern: they have big populations than can support a strong local market and there are more incentive to develop or invest on big industries because there are more people to benefit from it. In countries with smaller populations importing goods despite tariffs is more efficient than developing own industries following the doctrines of free market
@@1lyxbollyvykn714 It was good that the Latin American population decreased because the cities could no longer handle the population coming from the interior, and the countries are also very unequal, so poverty only increases with the increase in population. In addition, several forest areas were deforested with the increase in population. There is also illegal immigration to the United States, which is mainly from countries with higher population density. I am from Brazil and the population in the cities here has already settled down and does not increase as much each year. This is good because the cities will finally be able to organize themselves properly.
The phrase "money can't buy you good taste" was created for rich indians
Impressive/tragic human story.. nicely done doc.
thank you for exposing Omkars unethical methods of evicting people from their homes
I suppose you would love to live like that or to have a slum right under your window? If those slum dwellers had any regard for themselves, they wouldn't be breeding like crazy.
Wow. Makes me so happy and grateful to be born in Australia
and Canada lol
also UK
Wow, enjoy the warmth. Result of the slave labour economy and massacre of original inhabitants. Must feel so endearing!
Coming to a city near YOU!
