There is definitely a form of PTSD that poverty causes in those that suffer through it. My parents had to break the generational trauma that was poverty in our family.
It's definitely time for you to visit another nation then where the government has no concept of food stemps or the kind of financial assistance the low earning or unemployed get in Western countries. There are people who die due to lack of one meal a day, the bare minimum.. When one becomes successful after so much struggle, emotions will flow.
Disagree! As the most populated country, India is ruling over the world, and Indians are everywhere. Americans and Europeans are jealous of our high fertility rate. Long live India 🇮🇳
Everyone wants the slums to go away but no one wants to properly rehabilitate the residents by giving them proper space and facilities, as it's not economically feasible. What a paradox😔
The flats are still a considerable upgrade from living in a slum. In a slum, you’re lucky if you have 4 walls and electricity. Notice now that they have proper apartments, they are complaining that they don’t have gardens or a paved road. They got those flats for free, they shouldn’t expect luxury apartments.
Yes, when the father cried about his arms hurting so badly from working that he couldn't sleep was incredibly moving. I think we tend to forget the struggles faced by those who came before us, especially in America. We need to wake up to the fact that the ultra wealthy in collaboration with our own government is ripping off the future for our children. Everyday pieces of our country are sold off, jobs requiring skilled labor keep going overseas, and the gap between rich and poor is swallowing the middle class. Soon it will be rich (paying little to no taxes) and the poor (paying their share as well as that of the wealthy). Our country could easily become filled with slums, increased homelessness, crime and few opportunities to save ones self.
Not possible because you need to understand why the rich are rich in the first place. Its because of us the middle class and low class consumers. We by consumerism directly or indirectly fund their businesses and keep the money flowing in their pockets, which they then use for expansionism. If by chance US or any country for that matter become homeless, slumified or has a general lack of money then the rich will fall as well. Imagine what we could do if we all follow a minimalist lifestyle all their smiles will fade away.
I have lived in Mumbai in these living conditions. I came to mumbai as an engineer, i used to make 500 USD per month. The struggles and hostility of the city towards non rich stifled me. I moved to Ohio after living there for 3 years. And never have I ever thought about moving to a big city let alone Mumbai
The Old Man in the video at 18:14 was intense. That is the true feeling of how a labor would feel the pain in reality in any poor neighborhood in the world. I got tears in my eyes.
The pain of those memories for the father were palpable. He worked hard and not only provides for his family but all of those he now employs. He and his son are slumdog millionaires and earned every penny.
@@sebastian3004 That's the thing with coming out of poverty, you learn the things that need to be done to get yourself out of poverty, then you cannot stop. Because there is no end. Soon you become just like the other rich people and only way you can give back is through philanthropic actions and donations of a minor part of your wealth. But you can never stop.
Don't have to go that far to see extreme disparity......downtown montreal, canada.... luxury high rises, often occupied by some of mumbai's richest people......down below, scores of people sleeping in the rat infested park, a new liquor store opening up nearby to placate them........youth gangs targeting riders coming out of the nearby subway...neoliberalism is creating one big Mumbai for everyone.
@@billjoe39 actually prior to 1994 India had a closed off economy to trade and a heavy regulatory environment. In 1994 they put all these market reforms in and because of this millions are coming out of grinding poverty every month. A similar thing happened in China due to market reforms that came in in 1979
I had lived in Bombay for one year in the 80's when I got my first job. My friends used to tell me:" Bombay is a great city of paradoxes where a poor man earning 2 rupees a day live on the other side of a rich man earning 2 millions a day demarcated by a road - the poor man must be sleeping on the pavement every night "!
@@anshumankhanna5595 Correct. From Bombay I went to New Delhi where I remained upto 1994, for the first six months by renting a room inside the government quarters of a friend at Pahad Gunj.Then I resided in Dilshad garden and finally Mayur vihar phase 3. At that time there was only one line of flats in my area and behind which was acres of barren land. Whenever I miss the bus from the front side of the flat to the Central Secretariat I had to go across the barren land of 1.5 kilometres to Noida to catch the bus.Now the landscape must have gone a seachange! Happy memories.
@@jayakumarkaarikuzhy4713 all barren land is now converted into multi storey appartment in mayur vihar now and with metro coming everything is commercialised now in noida as well with new airport coming in greater noida people r moving towards tht
That’s because of the number of people coming to Mumbai which is way more than the influx into any other city in India;many to make it in movies but never leave if they don’t.Obviously not everyone is going to have a place.It’s straining at its seams to function and it’s not due to a lack of efficiency.Its one of the most efficient places I’ve seen in India,just too many people.If the migration was more balanced to match the rest of the country,it would not be so extreme.Move Bollywood elsewhere,the place will get a reprieve.
Can you imagine 800k USD for very humble apartment? This is the price of silicon vally or Frankfurt. Now how many people in Mumbai earn this kind of money? Average salary in Mumbai is around 300 USD. The fact is the people who lives in slums would be simply thrown out. Even if they get free apartment, they can't pay for monthly maintenance of high rise buildings.
Fun facts: if you earn more than 300 dollars in India, you're in the top 10% of earners. If your net worth is more than 60 000 dollars, you're in the top 1% This is the reality Source: Knight Frank statistics
Average salary in Mumbai is not 300 dollars it’s 800 dollars and plus Mumbai has 63k millionaires and 40 billionaires so those houses could attract them
@@sanjithrithvik3548 I used wrong term. It is not about average. It is about median salary. Because only Mukesh Ambani can uplift the average number by few hundred dollars for all the residents. But it doesn't mean that all the residents get that money. It is like room full of 100 people where one earns 1 crore and others earn 10 thousand. The average salary would be 100k but median would be 10k only.
@@valaquenta220 top 1% earn 84L for year, which is more or less 100k usd per year. The average price of a house in Mumbai is 450k usd how would anybody be able to afford it if the top 1% had a net worth of 60k usd.
That's pretty f'd up how only 20% of people have 24/7 running water in Mumbai. Even in the poorest villages in Europe, 99% people have 24/7 running water.
Do you think every rich man or woman was born rich or the money just fell heaven for him or her? No, most of them got there through hard work and set goals. Don't be jealous bro, you can do it too, just get out from your self pity and work a little harder.
The struggle is for real. Older generations really did struggle in every country just to make a better life for their children. It’s really sad how some people suffer so much . Well done to all those who turned their lives around. What happens to the people living in the slums when their houses are demolished?are the poor people just thrown onto the streets so the rich can live in the new apartments?do they really get rehoused? I doubt they would be given free houses
Mumbai is a alpha city and is financially important city for global trade. So it makes sense to demolish the slums in the centre of the city which occupies more space with less people instead of efficient apartments. So the govt must make sure to rehabilitate those slum dwellers and then demolish them only to build apartments and commercial complexes.
@@billjoe39 wtf bro the local mumbai people are not poor most of this people come from different states 40% population of mumbai is from people of different states of India mostly up and bihar and they are not educated also they just come hear to do labor work why blaming mumbai for that.
Well funny update is that Babulal had lost the bid and DHARAVI development is handed over to ADANI GROUP to convert Dharavi into Multistorey society for rehabilitation of Dharavi's people.
Well he dint even submit a bid, ""Adani Group won the bid with ₹5,069 crore, DLF Group submitted a bid of ₹2,025 crore, we did not open Naman Group’s bid, as it didn’t not qualify due to technical reasons""
Great work, it's time to show Mumbai's real face, so many of my friends dream of going to Mumbai, but you WONT get rich in Bombay, the housing market is so expensive, the average indian earning an average wage may only afford to be able to live in these slums, it is very similar to hong Kong
indian so poor they cant afford house that why u living under a bridge or slums be grateful that u have internet access to barking and spread hatred everyday
@@user-qwertyuiopasdfghj i was talking about the Hong Kong cage homes, and i would wager they are just as bad or even worse than living in slums, and no majority of the people do not actually get these public housing, some people have been waiting for public housing for decades at this point most of hong kongs poor live in these cage homes,
@Maina B exactly what i was reffering to, and when i heard the price people have to pay to Live in these coffin homes i was astonished, same here in Mumbai, so many upscale apartments and expensive cars yet right accross the streets you have people barely making ends meet
The fact that all the millionaires and billionaires in this city could change the slums and make their lives better but chose to ignore everything is horrifying.
why should we help they are earning , let them earn if we we help them then they will have a well life THEN WHO WILL DO THE WORKS THEY ARE DOING???? -AN AVG RICH PEEPS IN MUMBAI 😞
Removing poverty doesn't mean removing employment ... People need to have a good standard of living.. good food, health ,ed and shelter with a job..@@kumarenterprises7402
We can’t automatically help people in the slums. The process isn’t as easy as it seems. You can’t just head into the slums and give money to people out of your pocket. Think before you make an opinion.
No, they are not stup*d. This is the case across the world. In the West, even white families in the decades around 1950s still had large families. Poor usually don't have a retirement plans, their kids are their retirement plan. More kids, more hedge, they hope at least one will become successful.
It’s not Mumbai’s fault, every day people from all places of India running like crazy towards Mumbai. All states should develop and grow and provide opportunities to its people to earn.
I adopted a young cat from a man that lost his job at Microsoft and had to return to India to live with his mother who was allergic to cats. This was right before lockdown when the world was closed and scared. I hope he is ok. His nutty cat is spoiled and happy.
He may be more than OK. Working in Microsoft even for 3 years makes anyone in Indian family a Upper Middle Class by default. The difference in remuneration working in India and working abroad is beyond imagination. Also the knowledge gained and lifestyle changed is bonus for rest of life.
When he said he worked so hard that his arms hurt so much that he could not sleep at night with pain, brought a tear to my heart because my (Dad) God bless his soul, use to tell me same story,as we imigrated from St Michaels Azores too USA.
On one hand, seeing India's rapid improvement over the last 10 years has been amazing, it's a country full of hard working, naturally intelligent people with a deeply fascinating and rich culture; they truly deserve to be one of the top dogs on the International stage. But seeing how these new developments and infrastructure destroy entire neighborhoods, and thousands of lives with each neighborhood leveled, that is extremely discerning. India faces many more hurdles, including government corruption and the wills of the ultra-wealthy, overpopulation, the continued need for economic improvement, etc.... And buying people's homes from under their feet to be destroyed, just because they are slums, is the worst way to go about gentrification.
thanks for the post but just so you india is not growing since last 10 years it is growing since 1991 but it stopped abruptly after 2014 under the current regieme, taxes have moe then tripples inflation in doubnle digit, curruption, communism, you name a negative it is there. currently the goverment is plannig to segregate 200 million muslims and destroy their economy. there is mass radicalization in of indian youths, media is sold, police is sold, judicary is sold, rapists and murderers are released and journalist and activists are put in jail for years without even trials , opposition are shot is daylight yet no case on convicts this is the india the doesn't see. it is a hell hole currently
Yeah it’s so disgusting to see. Happened too in Shanghai but this is on steroids. Nobody gives a f*ck only money drives them to destroy people’s lives under the clown argument that it’s better for the city
Mumbai is 'city of dreams' for those only who dream of it. I was born in Chennai , southern part of india and till now I have never had an urge to go to Mumbai even for sight seeing. The beauty is that even in the cramped slums and 312 sqft apartment they still had time to make love and manufacture babies!
I wish someday the north people would stop making kids, with that Alone, half of the problem might just get solved, don't let them enter your city, it will only ruin the south india.
@@samyakjain3417 the south Indians live in a copium world where they think their culture is somehow superior, while still it's just a part of the population who is rich in the end.
The fact that average people in my country live like what they consider luxury is mindblowing. The slums and working conditions are inhumane😔 Good luck for the future✊🏻
About the last family. Why is it that people who are so poor still decide to have many children? They enjoy their sex and then later complain that supporting so many children isn’t easy.
The problem of undeveloped countries is that only a few regions, cities or even boroughs are developed. Which drives millions of people from poorest areas to migrate. To some of them is their only opportunity to survive. It saddens and maddens me that this is the world we live in
Feel so badly for locals and natives that are pushed out by gentrification and usurpation in Mubai & worldwide. The working poor deserve to stay at home without price jacking, violence or threats.
@riskyduck9274 Well it's not that they WANT to live there; it's that they have nowhere else to go. Tearing down the slums sounds good until you think about the people living there.
The old man weep as he narrated the past lives when he arrived to mumbai with just rs. 100.its a huge amount. Most indian are usually so easily emotional. The slums dwellers in Mumbai lived a hard lives. Yet, some are honestly surviving where some try to over smart by hook or crook yet they failed. 🙏
@Nobody Important I'm not sure if you misunderstood my comment. What do you mean "if that was really the case"? I'm trying to point out that the poverty in india is often distinct to other areas of the world, which it seems you agree with
@@benjigeezindia's population has more than tripled in the six decades following Partition, from 361 million (36.1 crore) people in the 1951 census to more than 1.2 billion (120 crore) in 2011.21 Sept 2021
@Nobody Important i have lived in india all my life and never heard,seen,read or experienced forced sterilization.they dont need to forcefully sterilize the poor .indias fertility rate has reached 2.1 which is the replacement level of fertility nd is rapidly declining.
It annoys me how that rich guy was able to think of a new way to make more use of the spaces by removing the slums/poor and creating a building that only rich people can afford. I mean... how does that help the poor?
The gentrification is so real in this one. I'm not supporting the slums, but kicking out people just to build overpriced luxury homes that only a few could afford is just so corrupt. At first I thought that they are actually going to give the affected ones new homes for compensation but starting I saw their prototypes, I was wrong. Those luxury flats will not help the city at all. Instead, it will just affect more places due to displacement. It's selfish tbh.
As if these people who came to Dharavi are legal residents. No they are not. They are people just like the refugees from Iraq/Syria displaced after the war. They set up illegal shops or encroach into other's property, steal electricity from the main supply and don't pay taxes.
I had the hope after clearing the slum that they would let the poor people live in their new buildings. But of course not. How can these people sleep at night. The poor people need help, not the rich. But its always the same. Kick the poor people out and get the rich people what their want.
you should know the reality before ranting. Almost all of the 'poor' people have illegally occupied lands of either govt or private citizens. they are by no stretch innocents
No one was invited to Mumbai as a Maharashtrian i always see Half the world running to Mumbai while i have never visited nor plan to visit Mumbai. Why don't people develop tehir own states?
This is what i like about indians. Even if they lived in slums, they were able to find way to survive by having businesses, work. Unlike in my country, when you’re poor you’re literally waiting for a miracle, depending their lives to the government. Only few people who are working hard happen to succeed getting out in the slum
Indias unemployment rate is way higher than usa , uk etc. also they don’t get any benefits so obviously they will have to work or else they would be laying and smoking weed too
This documentary was uploaded on 19NOV22 yet it feels like watching atleast 7-8 year old documentary because of the quality of the video and the old bollywood clips
As has always been with the poor and less fortunate folk everywhere and more so in India, the population is incredible and their rate of multiplication is mind blowing. Note one man saying he has 9 kids - in this day and age. This has always been their curse. In a city like Mumbai where space is at a premium, a family of 3 struggle to survive - what chance does a family with 9 kids + elders have ? Unfortunately their financial situation doesn’t come to their mind when they have kids. Better community service and educating them about population control is the only way out. Else, there’s no point in complaining about sparse space and deplorable living conditions. Peace ❤ ✌️
What hurts is that these people are not aware of why these things are happening to them, the simple reason they know and are reminded of is they might be lazy or not working hard enough to rise up from poverty, this mindset would pass on to the next generations til there wouldn’t be hope for them to revolt against those who has caused these to them.
Gentrification is such a tough subject no matter where in the world, although I do applause them for having laws to provide housing for the people affected, but just like most places, they stop short of providing PROPER housing and many are worst off or thrown out of the city to be forgotten.
I am born and brought in Bombay. City of dreams? Well I doubt may be its called city of dreams because no other city in India is glamorous like Bombay specially because of bollywood. Corruption in every department, no good infrastructure, ugly high rises costing millions. The beauty of the city lies in the buildings made by britishers hundred years ago what a beautiful architecture but even that is now in bad conditions. Slums? Yes slums are all over but now this slum dwellers one can't call them poor, one small room in slum can cost minimum about a million INR. Majority of slums are encroached land, same goes to dharavi many western documentaries are made on dharavi but do you think they or all the slum dwellers need a better life? NO. The corrupt politicians too don't want slums to go in fear of loosing votes. Westerners many time acts stupid, they go to slum make videos projecting the dwellers as if very poor living in inhuman conditions, but this same people never leaves any opportunity to encroach lands. Slum developers, slum dwellers politicians are all same corrupt. Many sell their house in rehabiliated buildings and again encroach another area and make slums. The cycle goes on & on. The rich too are of different category there are people who spends thousands of rupees for one dinner in luxury restaurant but when it come to basic they are not less than slum dwellers in mentality. Majority of crowd that is not only in Bombay but all over are not more than 5".5" Tall, malnourished, below average personality, very unhygenic. Two decades ago politicians were screaming they will make Bombay into next sanghai, for get about sanghai they were not able to make it Bombay the britishers left. SO WELCOME TO BOMBAY THE CITY OF.. ?
Yes i agree , If congress demolished slums in 90s itself , It would have been a lot better , But all governments are same unlike this one who is atleast taking few efforts to clear this mess
With good governance that focuses on internal growth will sort this out. Second or Third tier cities in China today were just like this 20 years ago. Nothing is impossible.
India needs to implement well managed programs by it's governments and millionairs to provide well managed housing and social assistance for it's poor like other countries. Foreigners should not be doing this for India. As is, the country operates and presents itself like something out of the Victorian 1800s. Watch shows like Little Doret or Berkley Square and compare. Sound infrastructure and urban planning is needed with respect for the environment . India needs compassion for its people.
I'd argue the biggest problem is the humongous population here. You saw the guy who had 9 children, that's the problem. We need to implement a birth control policy asap
@@mdbalkissoon364 Compassionate social support and a serious birth control policy is needed in a country like india where population explosion is linked to a lot of social adversity. Please leave the GOd(s) alone!!
@@mdbalkissoon364 Having 9 children, with no employment and no social assistance is a form if child abuse. Many western countries will remove children from such inconsiderate parents, if they can't look after them or provide them a safe environment to grow. Just because India does not have a robust child protection service does not mean these parents should get away--this man with 9 children is responsible for the neglect of his children even if I have a lot of compassion for his circumstances. You are a foreigner--and I suggest do not pass such blatant judgements from 'ivory tower' as the situation is complex- population explosion in the most underprivileged group is their worst enemy. Do not bring God here
They really need to do something drastic about the overpopulation issue. Also relocate the people into good homes too. Let them be given move in classes about maintaining the beauty and peace in their new homes. Employ them in various capacities to help build their new housing. It instilled pride in the people.
The 1st thing to do is to change their mindset. Not only for the poor, but also their leaders, aristocrats & the whole Indian. Something need to be change. Its 2022, but we still can see people lack of clean water, living in the slum with all unhealthy living area & packed with 10-17 people living in a small space. Their government & people need to change to improve for the development of India.
Maintenance is responsibility of people living in appartments not the developer hence if they can't do it themselves or thru third party than its their headache not developer
At 20:57 the group executive tells the other guy to tell Omkar group has done a favor to them and adding an emotional tone in the message Hats off to you guys for sharing the content showing the CEO as well as the dissatisified guy
In one of the shots of the city you quickly see this oddly shaped skyscraper and it’s the home of the country’s richest man and its valued at 2 billion dollars, it apparently has a 16 story underground garage and a indoor ski park with snow and it’s all for one family. That man alone could probably solve a lot of the poverty in that city but he lives in this building surrounded by poverty.
Mumbai is a 'city of dreams' only for those who have the privilege of dreaming big. For a large part of India, dreaming is as luxurious as being able to afford food, shelter and good education for children, as everyone saw in this video. And mind you, Mumbai is one of the most advanced and metro cities of India. What even happens in the remote parts is much worse.
And actually one of the richest person in the world lives there. This city should not even be in this condition. In fact it should be the best metropolitan city of Asia.
With everything happening around us, kindly spare some time and pray for your respective countries, states, cities, towns and your villages. God bless you all. Jesus Christ loves you.
The poor have 9 children while the rich have only 2, we have tv ads and other schemes to promote family planning even govt. hospitals provide condom for free to villagers, but we need to educate them more about family planning
Bro that's a problems fr our India. Mostly poor have so many kids when they can't take care while it's increase crime rates too.. plus up nd bihar also populate way too much same ways west Bengal
Reason why foreigners love to visit these places because they can feel very good about themselves and their rich countries with rich communities. It actually boosts their dopamine production in their body and mind.
I wish if Government take over those slum area and build a big building and give flats to those habitants. That will be more batter than leaving this way. And that will not only developed the city it will even create profits
I am india and I live in a flat. I thought my room and kitchen was small. This first guys entire room ends where it starts. Such cruel and competitive world man.

At that time there was only one line of flats in my area and behind which was acres of barren land. Whenever I miss the bus from the front side of the flat to the Central Secretariat I had to go across the barren land of 1.5 kilometres to Noida to catch the bus.Now the landscape must have gone a seachange!

That’s because of the number of people coming to Mumbai which is way more than the influx into any other city in India;many to make it in movies but never leave if they don’t.Obviously not everyone is going to have a place.It’s straining at its seams to function and it’s not due to a lack of efficiency.Its one of the most efficient places I’ve seen in India,just too many people.If the migration was more balanced to match the rest of the country,it would not be so extreme.Move Bollywood elsewhere,the place will get a reprieve.

Can you imagine 800k USD for very humble apartment? This is the price of silicon vally or Frankfurt. Now how many people in Mumbai earn this kind of money? Average salary in Mumbai is around 300 USD. The fact is the people who lives in slums would be simply thrown out. Even if they get free apartment, they can't pay for monthly maintenance of high rise buildings.
Fun facts: if you earn more than 300 dollars in India, you're in the top 10% of earners. If your net worth is more than 60 000 dollars, you're in the top 1%

Average salary in Mumbai is not 300 dollars it’s 800 dollars and plus Mumbai has 63k millionaires and 40 billionaires so those houses could attract them
@@sanjithrithvik3548 I used wrong term. It is not about average. It is about median salary. Because only Mukesh Ambani can uplift the average number by few hundred dollars for all the residents.

The struggle is for real. Older generations really did struggle in every country just to make a better life for their children. It’s really sad how some people suffer so much . Well done to all those who turned their lives around. What happens to the people living in the slums when their houses are demolished?are the poor people just thrown onto the streets so the rich can live in the new apartments?do they really get rehoused? I doubt they would be given free houses
Mumbai is a alpha city and is financially important city for global trade. So it makes sense to demolish the slums in the centre of the city which occupies more space with less people instead of efficient apartments. So the govt must make sure to rehabilitate those slum dwellers and then demolish them only to build apartments and commercial complexes.

On one hand, seeing India's rapid improvement over the last 10 years has been amazing, it's a country full of hard working, naturally intelligent people with a deeply fascinating and rich culture; they truly deserve to be one of the top dogs on the International stage.
But seeing how these new developments and infrastructure destroy entire neighborhoods, and thousands of lives with each neighborhood leveled, that is extremely discerning. India faces many more hurdles, including government corruption and the wills of the ultra-wealthy, overpopulation, the continued need for economic improvement, etc.... And buying people's homes from under their feet to be destroyed, just because they are slums, is the worst way to go about gentrification.

It does not they do not care

The gentrification is so real in this one. I'm not supporting the slums, but kicking out people just to build overpriced luxury homes that only a few could afford is just so corrupt. At first I thought that they are actually going to give the affected ones new homes for compensation but starting I saw their prototypes, I was wrong. Those luxury flats will not help the city at all. Instead, it will just affect more places due to displacement. It's selfish tbh.
As if these people who came to Dharavi are legal residents. No they are not. They are people just like the refugees from Iraq/Syria displaced after the war. They set up illegal shops or encroach into other's property, steal electricity from the main supply and don't pay taxes.
yeah and the poor are actually contributing to the economy by doing business it's clear who is at the wrong.
I had the hope after clearing the slum that they would let the poor people live in their new buildings. But of course not. How can these people sleep at night. The poor people need help, not the rich. But its always the same. Kick the poor people out and get the rich people what their want.

As has always been with the poor and less fortunate folk everywhere and more so in India, the population is incredible and their rate of multiplication is mind blowing. Note one man saying he has 9 kids - in this day and age. This has always been their curse. In a city like Mumbai where space is at a premium, a family of 3 struggle to survive - what chance does a family with 9 kids + elders have ? Unfortunately their financial situation doesn’t come to their mind when they have kids. Better community service and educating them about population control is the only way out. Else, there’s no point in complaining about sparse space and deplorable living conditions. Peace ❤ ✌️
What hurts is that these people are not aware of why these things are happening to them, the simple reason they know and are reminded of is they might be lazy or not working hard enough to rise up from poverty, this mindset would pass on to the next generations til there wouldn’t be hope for them to revolt against those who has caused these to them.
Gentrification is such a tough subject no matter where in the world, although I do applause them for having laws to provide housing for the people affected, but just like most places, they stop short of providing PROPER housing and many are worst off or thrown out of the city to be forgotten.

The beauty of the city lies in the buildings made by britishers hundred years ago what a beautiful architecture but even that is now in bad conditions.
Slums? Yes slums are all over but now this slum dwellers one can't call them poor, one small room in slum can cost minimum about a million INR. Majority of slums are encroached land, same goes to dharavi many western documentaries are made on dharavi but do you think they or all the slum dwellers need a better life? NO. The corrupt politicians too don't want slums to go in fear of loosing votes.
Westerners many time acts stupid, they go to slum make videos projecting the dwellers as if very poor living in inhuman conditions, but this same people never leaves any opportunity to encroach lands. Slum developers, slum dwellers politicians are all same corrupt.
Many sell their house in rehabiliated buildings and again encroach another area and make slums. The cycle goes on & on.
The rich too are of different category there are people who spends thousands of rupees for one dinner in luxury restaurant but when it come to basic they are not less than slum dwellers in mentality.
Majority of crowd that is not only in Bombay but all over are not more than 5".5" Tall, malnourished, below average personality, very unhygenic.
