It’s one of the most populous cities on the planet with 22 million inhabitants, predicted to increase to 30 million by 2035. Nicknamed ‘the infernal Metropolis’, Mumbai is a city in perpetual development. But with millions of people living in slums located on valuable real estate, how can city planners balance the competing needs of the population?
In Dharavi, the largest slum in Asia, over one million people are packed into the 2 km. slum. But although its residents are poor, there’s a real dynamism. Mahesh, 27, was born and lives in this slum and would never leave it. He runs a recycling plant and employs around 20 people. Dharavi’s underground economy is thought to generate 800 million euros per year. But it also lies on prime real estate in the very centre of Mumbai so its future is in doubt.
Every day, new towers of glass or concrete emerge from the earth. With the support of the municipality, real estate tycoon, Babulal Varma, razes slums to build luxury apartments for the upper classes. As the city constantly expands, it pushes into the surrounding forests and natural spaces, such as Sanjay Gandhi Park. The fifty leopards who live there regularly make forays into the new housing estates. They attack stray dogs, but also the inhabitants. Each year, several people are killed by feline attacks. At night, forest department rangers patrol to prevent leopard incursions.

India is in Critical need for population Control . Large Indian Cities are Grossly over populated , creating a Bio Hazard .
I went to India in 1998. The population, slums, traffic, trains, etc. were shocking, to say the least. Seeing it in person will change you forever. My heart breaks for the impoverished people there. Despite all the craziness, most people were very kind. The food was amazing, and there was a lot of beauty, culture, and history to take in. Cheers to the man working on train safety and the leopard caretakers. I hope the big business stops forcing the slums encroachment into leopard territory ! ✌️ ☮️ 🇮🇳
My husband and I were there also around this time, never saw so many beautiful people even the poor street people.
@@sandragirardau1887So many beautiful people? In india? Lol?
I'd rather do a week in my local jail than spend a week in india!
Me too, will never visit India even for free
That's why there are so many of them in other countries!!! They can't stand it themselves and have to immigrate and take over underpopulated countries. Very, very sad.
I rather spend a week in my local junkyard than in India.
I can smell the sweat through my computer monitor.
smells like a jar of open pickles, left in the summer sun, musty
When I flew over india to Australia you could smell armpit at 40,000 ft
Ugh! On the commuter train.
Underratted comment 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My mouth dropped when that woman almost fell off the train 😮
This is the Free Documentary style I fell in love with some years ago! This is raw, talented, amazing editing and storytelling, and most of all, traveling worldwide to tell a true story ... Keep up the amazing work, Free Documentary! 👍👍👍
Thank you - it’s really appreciated your comment 😊
Amen.
Very entertaining.
@@supremelyeducated3273 thank you. We really appreciate each comment 😃
I couldn’t cope with that heat and packed in trains where people put their lives in danger, crazy.
If somebody got to fart😂😂 😂
@@prialara so funny 🤣
Imagine how wonderful it smells in that train 😂

"people travel from around the world to visit the slums"

@@americannightmare2109 like why tf would anyone do that
I thought that! 7 people die a day?! Yikes
Whoever you are, RIP pink shirt guy. Tragic 😭
The current metro area population of Mumbai in 2024 is ~21,673,000 (as of posting this comment)
Holy cow 😮
How many scammers live there I wonder...🤔
Millions
😂😂😂😂
If you consider the whole country, it may be up to 300 Million
hard to say too many people
Millions
Cut the birth rate
How about cutting the wealth inequality
They are. India is making good progress. Mumbai will be a showcase in 20 years.
But did they talk to you about your cars extended warranty while you was there 😂
😂
india is. not for the faint hearted but its people, culture and ancient history is definitely worth it !
While it is not the responsibility or obligation of the rich to help the poor, it would be nice if they did. In a country where a wealthy businessman can spend 1 billion to build a mansion and 100 million can be spent on a wedding, the chasm between rich and poor is so wide.
The top 10 billion and trillionaires could, by their wealth alone, solve world hunger, water access and homelessness. Not to western standards of course but 99% of humanity could have adequate shelters, drinking water and a sustainable diet. Instead they fund wars, weapons and self-interest - who the hell really needs a $20+ million yacht or 42 luxury cars?
actually, it would be good if everyone could afford a decent home, decent food and education and not being hopeful some rich person will be charitable.
@@FreeDocumentary …in order to achieve that, they have to stop having children that they can’t adequately care for. Because the kids are the ones who suffer most.
@@johncbny Yes this is true but I hesitate to condemn people for having children because families and children have different statuses in different cultures. But I do get and understand your point.
@@johncbny They can't afford birth control or health care. People there die if treatable conditions because they can't afford the very expensive hospital care.
It’s amazing how one person’s opinion of “tackiness” is another person’s view of beautiful home decor (16:39). Just wow…
Toronto Canada is starting to look like this unfortunately...
Can confirm, lived there for a while. Nice place but like UK it's being changed beyond recognition for the worst by governments pretending they're trying to control immigration whilst taking actions that encourage it. Wokeists are the useful idiots that enable it also.
@@10aDowningStreet "wokes are useful idiots" nothing more accurate could've been said. They will make western countries worse than third world ones
These are the real problems of the common man in India. Literally, nobody cares about this BS Democracy vs Dictator debate. People want someone to solve the day-to-day problems they face; it doesn't matter even if it is solved by a so-called dictator.
More than a billion people are living there an still they're not capable of changing the government!!!
I’m glad I don’t live there
You have no idea how lucky you are not to be born in one of these places. It’s like winning the birth lottery.
@@LadieKadiethat last sentence is so true. Western societies should be thankful for how lucky they are to have developed into what they are today
Yes but not only western societies are "lucky". 195 countries and alot are nice places I'm jealous of.
The Vast poor Population live a Hellish life , while the Minority of the well to do , Live lavishly.
lol
If somebody got to fart😂😂 can you imagine in the train full people in high tempreture,,,😂😂
Crazy how Greater Tokyo has more people and is clean and orderly culture makes a difference
To advance to an apartment from the slum is such an accomplishment ,hard work is usually not enough for these families, you dont hear them complaining like most ppl where i live
Thanks Free Documentary for an extraordinary visit to Bombay! It truly is a wonderful place full of complexities, many happy people regardless of circumstances, and lots of love. For those who have not traveled there it is impossible to understand this city's beauty.
How do three generations live in the same 300 square meter apartment? How do they have more children when they share this tight space?
Developers are the same everywhere - here in Europe, they're "clearing" fields and parks, in Mumbay, they're "clearing" homes of the poor :I
There's enough resources for all humans to have basic needs but we're the most narcissistic and selfish species
It's quite funny that in documentaries set in India where Bollywood is mentioned, they often only showcase dance sequences from the film "Bride and Prejudice," even though it's not a Bollywood movie but rather a British-American production.
Pick pockets all over 😂😂
To put a plate on table in India it's not for the weak🤦
The websites that show the train deaths, the comments often refer to the trains as "apex predators"
Lmao, same as cars in America (not just the us)
Optimus prime train
Lifelong dream of mine is to never visit India.
Only backpackers who travel on pennies visit india ! It’s a nasty place
cross of bangladesh too its probably worse
Bangladesh far more better than Bharat India
Nobody could pay me enough to go there
Have been there And the people and food are great.
@@mcooper5929Yea right. So have I. Once was enough for me.
What about 1 trillion dollars. You telling me you wouldn’t go🤣
Armpit of the world.
@@shammyshammy407 Correct
lol dude out of thin air really asked his son "how are things in London"
The real slum lord! I met a man named Amit about 25 years ago and he told me that the people in India that could speak English in their call centers actually made more money than the doctors who lived there. That was unbelievable and sad.
I wonder how soon we will see videos showing collapsing high rise apartments? Built fast and built cheaply
India unable to provide transport for its population yet have space progtamme mind bogling sort out problem in your country first before venturing to space
It was refreshing to hear from the corrupt developer how he is providing houses to the poor for free. Very inspiring.
50:10 where were her parents at the time of the attack?
p.s.: Lepared also has children who starved to death due to his absence
The railway system is just a moving death trap and how people are packed in those carriages like animals with not one thaught about safety is just unbelievable 🥵. But i do have alot of respect for those that work so hard in life to achieve: From poverty to Rich and it does prove that those who want to achieve things in life can by getting up and working hard. Great Documentry, thanks for uploading it.
So he destroys the slums and replaces them with high rises. Question: where do the people who live in that slum go?? Can they afford an apartment in this new tower?? The answer is NO. So where do they go...they move somewhere else and rebuild the slum. This country is a sespool and human rights nightmare. Class system is old and needs to be abolished. All Indians should have the same option.
The man clearly explains the scheme for the ppl in the slums 😂 this is how things work .. the worlds not fair Chad ! deal with it !! Worry about improving yourself first then go to Mumbai and do something about it or stop Bit**ing Chad 🤷😊😊
Apparently Chad hates watching videos longer than 2 min and didn't watch the whole thing. Like most kids with an attention problem he missed the whole part of relocating the family's into new houses. Maybe before criticizing and skimming videos, watch them first instead of people paraphrasing the video for you. - I know that's an insane concept to grasp.
Don't be like Chad.
@@kylejeffery4335 We are allowed to have an opinion whether you like it or not. Since when if empathizing with the poor "Bit**ing? Grow up.
@@Thehammm_exactly. If he paid attention for just a minute he'd hear the guy say that the slum people get free housing next to the high rise apartments
15:17 I can feel this man’s emotion and can relate. The only way to progress in life with dignity and be successful is thru hard work, with lots of determination and motivation. You are the only one who can make or break your future. I’m happy for his success.
Poor leopards.
The Poor leopards have had their habitat invaded , by a Grossly over populated area . Since the Leopards don't breed like Mice as these Indians do , they will be extinct soon.
Its ok to build these high rise buildings, what happens to those people who was living in the slum?
They get free apartments, but they still complain about it 🙄
The rich is entitled because they pay for it but the poor is given free but still demand more . No surprise given more things it’s just an excuse for them to comfortably breed more. Besides giving them nice things are useless they won’t be appreciative and like they say u can’t get the slums mentality out of them
I ❤ India , no place is perfect . See how they all get along ? Its an interesting and mysterious, beautiful continent. I would love to see its wonders in person , alas i am never going to, so i can at least see , watch and pray for all 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
India 🇮🇳 is a country not continent
Some people never blame themselves but others
And, some of us have a pure lack of empathy.!
Is this for real? How can they have 7 deaths per day on the railway and not do anything about it? It doesn't even make sense! Isn't it easier to install doors on the trains than deal with 7 dead bodies per day?
You'd think the government would add another bunch of passenger trains.
In the gulf states they need Laborer, streets sweepers, toilet cleaners. In Africa plantation workers and other menial jobs are paying better. Therefore these folks should be send to these countries to have a better salary and contribute to India economic growth.
In the gulf they are treated as slave labour and have their passports taken from them so they can't leave after months and years of not being paid. They are beaten and abused and kept in very poor overcrowded conditions. There are few if any safety conditions in their work places. In Dubai labourers fall from those tall buildings every day. They die of heat stroke and malnutrition and don't even have enough water to drink or bathe in. They often go without food.
Africa doesn't need menial or plantation workers as they're looking for their youth to leave too. That aside, Indians in Africa are living their best lives so should consider migrating there to invest
We already have millions of ruse scamming Indians living in africa and we don't anymore of them here!
@@LetsTravellChannel while Indian treat African bad in India.
At the risk of sounding pretentious Maybe they should start with the little things . Maybe its not in their culture to just pick up the trash in your yard but it should be . People just toss their garbage where ever. They just step over litter. Make a point of keeping your spot clean and the rest will follow.
a few years ago, China passed a law by which a family was not allowed to have more than 2 children. if India does not do the same, they will step on each other. it's about education.. knowing that you have no possibility to raise them, how can you have 10 children? they will end up as poor and without school as their parents.
Looks just like a few cities in Canada!
What happens to the poor people??? You can answer that yourself.... Still poor and thrown where the rich wants them thrown.
Help the poor 🙏
Those train rides are insane. 😱
And some say that we needs to make more babies,don't think so.
AH BOMBAY/MUMBAI, where the planet's 💩flows to.
not the planet the country's
Apartments are nice.
God bless Indians 🙏
Who remain in india!
Why are you uploading the same videos with different titles?
Amazing documentary, watching the urbanization of a country is rather fascinating, there are many countries specifically in SE Asia that are developing rapidly, India still has a long long ways to go. But India can someday overtake China and become the number 2 economy in the world if they focus on investor friendly policies.
These are the mfs calling me aaking about my car's extended warranty........
And your student loans 😂😂😂
Acting like they have legit jobs on camera
" Accountant..."
and "windows security software" and whatnot 🙄😂
Are they feeding the dogs to the leopard ?? I think that poor black dog was killed. What a wicked town. Humans have been invasive to the Natural habitat of these Wild creatures, also destroying Nature, mountains, polluting rivers, & competing, depleting their foods.
You need to develop more Cities outside of Mumbai and away from the forestry reserves, so poor people will find opportunities outside and not over-populate a limited land resource for humans & creatures.
Well tbh the dog didn't have a good survival instinct. It just kept lying there while the leopard got closer and closer.
9 kids?!? and he complains how they can not live like this?!? A tip is to have less kids in the first place. Less mouths to feed and then maybe Get a better home!
They don't have access to birth control and health care, which is very expensive there.
@@Juanita-gf4teok I see you commenting that everywhere but why tf don't they just get a PSA on the tv or pamphlets about not pumping out kids back to back, sex education could be free
Rabbits
@@Juanita-gf4teI would rather not marry or having sex than to have many kids and knowing that poor. These ppl are selfish, that's why.
Hindu people for you
Mystic India , SEVEN daily railway Deaths , HIGH Mortality rate and with mighty reserve population of 1.2 Billions people TRIPLE by year 3000 & beyond.
I'd rather die than live like this. Thank God I live in a spacious country! Overpopulation will be our downfall.
An Indian logic … “I can barely afford to feed myself…oh I know, I’ll get married and make plenty of babies I can afford to feed” ….
They need the one child rule like they had in China or else these issues will never be resolved. And whoever can afford it should leave bringing as many family members with them as possible. The Indian community in the US does very well, it seems. Meaning they could maintain a connection to their culture without actually living in India.
This is "modernity"?
18:50 the girl look like dad your lying its been less time, we just got the business 20 years ago lol
im pretty sure youve posted this alraeady
THIS WAS UPLOADED BEFORE SOMETIME LAST YEAR .I HATE REPEATS !! THEY SHOULD STATE THAT ITS BEEN REUPLOAD . 20 MINUTES IN BEFORE I REALISED I HAD ALLREADY WATCHED IT 😂😂
Me 5 mins in like I know I’ve seen this
As a introvert combat vet with severe ptsd I would lose my mind there completely!😂
Cant some of those leopards be relocated to places where their endangered?
13:32 Tourist price lmaooo
Which is actually still very cheap.
I can smell this documentary
I can't imagine the stench in those crowded trains.
The government should look for alternative transport solutions or increase the number and security of the railways. The estate developers should have a real dialogue with all the representatives of the slums for proper compensation before they move them. Since they may bribe the government to ignore.
I remember a year after covid started I started to see videos from India about the homeless people that everyone stopped communicating with. People were rotting alive. Maggot infested legs, ears & genitals. People just walk right by. Crazy sad
Well damn this is horrible trying to catch a train like this with all those smelling people in the train..
How can Hindi-language Bollywood exist in Mumbai even though Mumbai (Maharastra) speaks Marathi?
Rusuh sekali keluar keretanya 😮😮
why did they interview the guy while his family is having breakfast? weird
Poor guy but I don't think the train came suddenly 😂😂😭😭🤦🏻♂️
Old upload
oh no, that's terrible! Are you gonna demand a refund? 😧
New for me
1998
Those poor dogs…😰😰😰
Where is the gov!
Those that are rich have an obligation to care for the poor . The Caste System plays a huge roll in how the lower class are treated. 😢

The Developer from Rajastan looks Egyptian or Arabic ?? Or is that how a normal Persian will look like ??
Wow in charge of Google

Seems like a great place to live 🤦🏽♂️
top 10 richest in India are worth 400 BILLION between them , they could end All slums
This people think the rest has to solve his problems be grateful they give you an apartment before you are sleeping on the floor on the slumbs and throwing the garbage on the rivers
1st comment 🎉
It isnt the train operator's fault that people insist on hanging onto windows and putting THEMSELVES at risk. If they have to be told not to cling on half in and half out then they really must not care about there own lives .I WONDER HOW MANY OF THEM ACTUALLY PAY FOR TICKETS BECAUSE IMAGINE TRYING TO REMEMBER WHOS ALLREADY GIVEN YOU A TICKET AND WHO HASNT PAID YET .BY THE TIME YOU FIGHT YOUR WAY TO THE END OF A SINGLE CSRRIAGE THE PEOPLE WILL HAVE ALLREADY GOT OFF AT THEIR STOP. 😂😂
i wouldn't get on the train if i couldn't get in it. My job isn't worth my life and wellbeing. Common sense prevails
Feel sorry for the ppl in slums. It’s. A huge man power which India can use to its advantage, just like china. India should have industrial zones and hire them all and produce its own products and compete with china. This is not a crisis but an opportunity if the rulers in india can sincerely see
many from bangladesh also live mumbai. in fact car & scooter repairing business r controlled by bangladeshis and rohingyas. drug business is controlled by afghans
Let’s hope they stay there. Please, please, please don’t export your problems overseas.
Too late! America has given them access to citizens personal information.
Don't give some president any ideas
THIS! no more imported problems please
Too late! They are all over UK 😢
Could they at least make double decker trains
There will always be poverty, there will always be slum areas, it’s happened for hundreds of years,we didn’t stop it then and we won’t stop it now even in 2024 it’s what man does because we can’t help ourselves.
