Here is a link to a recent article in the U.S. "National Georgraphics" on Mumbai slums:http://www7.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0705/feature3/index.html.
I've never seen places so filthy and disorganised in my life. The hell is better than an Indian city in reality.
I always thought Indian people are smart and hardworking. After reading all these comments, i realize that Indians are very complicated people. They talk the talk but they rarely walk the walks.
Interestingly, I found that most people here seems like to blame your government for corruptions and mismanagement. There are lots of blaming games going on and on.
Why don't you live a simpler yet healthier life, starting from doing little things like keeping your streets and yards clean. Then you can talk about India becoming a Superpower..
I feel a strong sense of hopelessness, helplessness for India as a nation.

Infact recent studies showed that the world' biggest slum is not Dharavi in Mum, but its in Karachi :-). The whole of Dhaka itself is a slum. Pakis envy Indian accomplishments :-). don't forget that the majority of slums in india have muslims.

Dear Ramesh i think u r sadly mistaken.Maybe u have never actually been out of india or u live in a fools paradise. India is one of the filthiest countries of the world which does not require any explanations or elaborations and can be checked on UN. U say that muslims live in the slums. maybe this is how u treat ur minorities. Thats a shame and u r proud of it the self claimed secular india. It is this narrow minded approach that indi's like u have which has always givne india a bad name. And always remember that Gandhi was killed by a hindu. so much for extremism yea!

Dear Ramesh as u claim that u have lived in different states n countries it is very unfortunate to see that even so much expousre could do no harm to your typical narrow minded approach towards life. What i had pasted in my reply were facts of history , not hypothetocal events or situations. U need to understand this. Secondly i never talked about comparisons like you have done in your childish reply. All i had said were the state of events in a country with such great magnitude, "The secular India". My point here and earlier has been the typical Indi negative thinking, denial and narrow mindedness. Remember the 1996 Srilanka India semifinal.How indi behaved ! Sadly this is alos a fact.
