Inside the Dharavi slums of Mumbai

Inside the Dharavi slums in Mumbai is a sprawl of shacks, workers, deprivation…and inspiration

I lived in slum for 8 years in mumbai and in extreme poverty, my family especially mom helped us in getting out of extreme poverty. She earned a mere 50 dollars/month working in a hair saloon and with that money she raised me and my sister. With almost no money she risked it all to open her own hair saloon and guess what, it worked. Money started pouring in and i was able to become an engineer. I now live in Canada. We beat poverty. My mom is a superwoman.

Dear selfish politicians, leave your money hunger and improve these people lives to live in hygienic conditions

[arashmehra]

No matter how poor you are but to clean the space where you living is the responsibility of ours

[ManoharReddy]

Politicians guest house should be built near the slums, atleast then they would know what people are going through!

For all the people who are watching this video,

The Govt. of Maharastra and the Municipal Corporation tried really hard to build houses in the same area for the people. The people resisted.
Reason being, there are a lot of illegal activities that happen here. Regulated housing leaves no scope for all that.

Seeing their hard work and efficiency .... mad respect to these people

Something to be noticed -

• Foreigners always finds it fascinating to show the dirty places in India and calling it crazy and poor.
• Indians find it sad and amused at the same time and quite addictive to watch how foreigners depicts the nation.

While the media and politics are busy with their agenda and TRP and nobody ever talk of these slums.
Looking closely I have never heard any media or politics taking about Dharavi slums (As a kid I never knew, there is such a large slum ever existed) only in the recent Covid times when the most cases were coming out of Dharavi.

This is the truth

The irony of life! The same city is home to some of the richest people in the country, perhaps even in the world!

the people there seems so hard working...their government need to do something about the deplorable conditions there, we are experiencing similar situation in Jamaica's garrisons 🇯🇲

[ashishshiwani]

After watching this video i m satisfied by what i've got..

[nipunkothare]

I'm from Mumbai . I've seen the slums from a distance only. What I know is that these people do not tax consuming new house constructions or randomly picked up. They need an exposure to the new world and a hand to put them on that track.
