  • I think u r help less poor expecting help from rich of your country

  • Ciao!

  • time is short i have 6 years left in univesrity to study architecture... =[

    i wish i could be the architect right now and redevelop the 400 odd acres into this amazing utopia for these people,

    the people currently living there will not have to relocate, as i will build homes, schools and hospitals for them to live a more enjoyable life, i wish to give these people a second chance.. its like karma you give or you do something good in life for other people and it will reflect into your next life.

  • i have a lot more to write, but i wish not at the current time as words do not mean anything, words are just words. Actions speak bigger then words.

  • All they need to do is clean up the mess, build them houses and business, wait 1 year at a time and see how the place will thrive along with the city, when all seems well then include them and treat them equally with the rest of the city meaning moneywise etc...

  • haha they all no life

  • yeah...poverty is dominant in a country like india and its simple because of the large scale population and the attitude that people posses here...people work hard no doubt bt they aint got a long term vision about the future perspectives and all...secondly i never felt the development in this nation due to some recent upcoming of any political party...coz yeah the thing is very simple as it is a democracy govt wud think abt the ppl first nd nt a million bt a billion plus..it paralyses you..

  • and dharavi too

  • Only two races in this world now - Rich and Poor. Long live the spirit of Dhavari.

  • 445 acres.....1 million people?? thats less than 1 sq mile

  • This documentary made me cry

    India seems so poor country

    :(

  • Edwin 1697, India is never dependent upon the economic catastrophic failure of the world as what you see officially, more than 10 times of that is the real economy.Believe me it's a myth for u to understand anything in india. Simply per head capita is not the solution of every problem. Moreover you know well what's the source of income of Germany and The Netherlands.

  • lol...

  • its a dirty,poor, filthy scumbag and corrupt country.

    GDP PPP US:$46000

    GDP PPP Holland: $39400

    GDP PPP Germany: $34200

    GDP PPP world: $10400

    GDP PPP Thailand: $8100

    GDP PPP India: $3200.........

  • @edwin1697 india is d 4th largest in terms of ppp nd 11thlargest in terms of nominal so india is rich country but 20% of d popualtion is poor i can smell d jealousy here because now we have d money nd we r gonna destroy dat slum nd make mumbai a world class city , d fact u showed is d income which depends upon d population which is 1 billion so get lost!

  • @edwin1697 ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ....

    well said simple fact

  • @edwin1697

    I doubt India's GDP is even $3200. Numbers that come out of that country are not reliable; most of them are fudged with impunity.

  • disgusting india

  • @edwin1697 vat disgustin dis is a small part of mumbai not d whole of india! u dumbass

  • Bill Gate donated $20 billion to the 3rd world while your billionaire built a $1 billion high rise home next to dharavi. that's pretty much sums up indian selfish attitude right up to there democratic CORRUPTED government.

  • I spent two weeks in Mumbai City working, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience.

    I like India and its people (friendly and hard working) and will certainly visit again as a tourist, Mumbai City/Goa :)

  • guys the main problem is indian peoples . who bond with religion ,caste , standard of living . and the main difference is rich vs poor .

    rich never comes or c the poor difficulties , by sitting at home , reading news paper , listing to masala hot news etc .

  • @MegaUtube33

    but never tried to resolve the issue of poverty or help poor with the heart , all r greedy and minded with money and Indian never changed even the after independence and before independence . that y british ruled so easily . and defeated the best kings of india , only coz of two reasons no unity and greedy . where british played logically with limited troops . even now south , east, north ,central ,west all do there individual work and never try to help neighbor states at all ,

  • @MegaUtube33

    simply interfere language and culture . and main things is ego , indian are 300% ego selfish minded , u can deny this . atleast . u can c the results where india is now , and where china at present . there is no comparison left between by china . the reason is simple and clear , rich guys never ever try to help poor , if they become middle class they rich guys valves get degrades , so one need to be king and other to be slaves . and simply in the name of NGO , stealing the money .

  • slum dog millionaires

  • @edwin1697 eat shit u jealous shit!

  • we have fine malls, restaraunts, parks, shopping centres and just about anything else you can think of here in mumbai. i hope these images of slums don't stop anyone from coming and visiting our city. as we don't judge all of america based on the ghettos and the people living in tiny, rusty trailers, don't judge all of us based on slums. we have a ton of poor in the country true, but we also have more middle class and rich than most western countries due to our sheer numbers.

  • @vrvi don't say that man, Mumbai is a difficult city to live in and you should be proud to see what the Indians are capable of doing while living in very bad conditions. I'm very admirative.

  • @vrvi what a stupid comment. are you even aware that 55% of the Indian population are poor based on the multi-dimensional poverty index? sheer numbers is not the way to look at it; you have look at it in percentage terms. I have lived in Mumbai for a long time so much so I know every nook and corner of Mumbai. Now I live in Toronto. The two cities cannot even be compared. Toronto is not only awesome; this is paradise.

  • @vrvi

    realize one more thing, the quality of life the middle class live in India, out here people on welfare live a similar quality of life -- an extremely small percentage of the total population.

    There are poor people everywhere including the developed world; but poverty here is completely different to the poverty you see in India.

    When 60% of the population in Mumbai live in slums, it is quite appropriate to judge the city in slum terms.

    You wont find any such metropolitan area here.

  • everyone knows mumbai where i live by slums its not just the slums

  • i hope everyone realizes that the slums are only one part of mumbai. all of mumbai is not a slum. mumbai is actually home to one of the richest men on earth who just built the largest house in the world there (see mukesh ambani) and has plenty of people living in gorgeous apartments and lots of great places just like any other international city (new york,etc). yes there are slums there but the whole city is not a slum. I've lived there my whole life and never set foot in a slum.

  • same issue with philippines slum but govt. give them House & lot & they going to pay(300pesos) $ 7 Us dollars a month for 30yrs. Its a good investment for people in the future they can call it their own home they just going to pay for their 1 day work bec. the daily wage at philippines is (405 pesos) or $ 9.41 Us dollars. and they are the first prioritiy on hiring a jobs after the slum was developed to commercial area. Govt cannot do it alone,Businessman should participate in the project

  • If you want to know more about the current situation watch our video "nur ein mann".

    Greetz from Germany. Nice vid by the way!!!!

  • Oh i cry so much for this people...

  • To me it seems to be just another universel story of divide and conquer.

  • $700 million a year??? After converting it to indian rupees, why the hell are these guys so poor?

  • its a true face of India, more then 50% peoples living under the poverty line in India, so at least these peoples who are living in slum area are lucky as they got little high living standard then the people who lives under poverty line.

    for a rough calculation, just minus Bollywood+Mittal+Ambani's from India then i hope result would be Biggest Slum of the world.

  • @cutenebula den minus vedanta group,bharti group,infosys,tcs,wipro,bhel,d­lf group,balco,nalco, call centres, bharti group n etc etc... just too mch to list froam what u consider 3rd world ...wat say MR firangi??

  • @cutenebula that is not true anymore. the poverty rate is falling rapidly in India due to rapid economic growth. At the current time, the estimate is that now only 27.5% of indians are living under the poverty line and the number is declining every year. just about every respected economist in the world believes that within 60 years india will qualify in the ranks of the first world nations... and that includes european and american economists... just go online and read about it.

  • @vrvi actually, last time I checked only 23% of india's population lives in poverty.

  • @MoreParksLessParking

    dude , india is struggle with lot of issue , mainly states and religion , culture issue . 23% is poverty . but more than 40% are illiterate , 50k moist .

  • @cutenebula what you said is completely wrong. your profile shows you are from pakistan... that explains why you are badmouthing india...

  • dislike

  • These poor people are given homes--but the people rent them out to make money and go backto live on the streets.

  • Maharashtra Government is doing an absolutely fantastic job. They are giving new and very decent houses to these people. I visited Bombay recently and talked to many people , they were very satisfied with what the government is doing. Soon . Bombay will be much cleaner , and happier :)

  • iam pakistani ,and people that live in this area has no choice,please do not uplod this kind of video.

  • @akandani No brother , they are giving new houses to these people and removing slums. People are very happy.

  • the beautiful place in india is kerala........ibeen der once....its wonderful....

  • A wonderful and eye opener vedios ....the governement of India dont really care about the slum dwellers and specially in dharavi the gangsters, local goons and political leaders are eyeing the land for thier own sake ...God saves the poors...!

  • ssshhhhhhh dirty area

  • thats indian slum area.. a major part of india but not the whole india...

  • hiii guys acc to survey karachi has largest area slum in asia

  • @Verma21panjab - do u know by which organisation that survey has been conducted?

  • @mukulfaiz according to a report by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

  • @mukulfaiz 2)

    “So Karachi has two crowns to wear – one being the most polluted mega-city in the world and second the host of the largest slum in Asia.....bravo Karachi! ...

    check it from google by dawn

  • @Verma21panjab - thats intelligent. thanx.

  • human zooo

  • Could someone provide a reasonable response as to why India has the most slums without resorting to answers such as "Indians are dumb" or "Hindus are filthy".

    Thanks

  • @johnnybrown1884

    because indians are filthy and hindus are dumb

  • @obstinatejack

    Thank you very much for that extensively informative and well researched answer *sigh*.

  • @johnnybrown1884 Poverty in India is largely a result of socialist, protectionist policies adopted by the Gandhi-Nehru era. A mix of poverty that results and the high real estate values and population densities cause the slums to come up.

  • Could someone provide a reasonable response as to why India has the most slums without resorting to answers such as "Indians are dumb" or "Hindus are filthy".

    Thanks

  • @johnnybrown1884 India has just four major metros, Delhi mumbai kolkatta chennai,n thousands of people migrate over there every day to earn money.... Majority of these people cant afford to buy or rent flats in these places partly because the govt did very lil to provide cheap housing and these people have to stay near places where all the business are... so they end up paying a fixed amount(10k rupess) deposit to the local slum lords and these people give them electricity phone and water supply

  • fuck all of you racist pigs

  • dirty dirty country .

  • Your mothers anal is dirty.

  • i worked here as a resident doctor while i was working with the municipal hospital.. it was an experience that cant be penned down..

  • i notic that pakistan is better then india because india looks discustin pakistan is better i dont know wat white people thinkin about india

  • i agree..pakistan is better!!! .. NOT

  • @huzaifazia .lol pakistan is nothing but a terroist breeding hole.notice why the term paki is used as an offensive term, not indian.

  • moreover you know one valley is said POK means pakistan occupied kashmir can you believe this fuck

    we all know still we act like a fool

  • India is Shining.

  • My friend is from New Dehli. He said the North is a lot more wealthy than the southern areas.

    Just a question for other Indians. If I was to move to India for business are there other white people there? I don't want to be the only German in a sea of Indians.

  • @Beauvoir31

    I dont know why but in many cities, North is wealthier than southern part: London, Peiking, Dehli, etc

  • its not that.....maharashtra is most developed and wealties state in india...and Mumbai is rwealthiest city contributing 70% of indias industrial output....38.49% of total BSE wealth is in maharshtra(mumbai).....and about Dharavi slum coz of North Indians worker(UP and Bihar) mograte to maharshtra in mobs..coz they dont have livelihood in north india.....and cant you see that the people in slum speak hindi...not marathi not any other south language......

  • @Beauvoir31 no u ll be alone in the sea and all indians will eat u like fish looser...

  • @Beauvoir31 First your friend is wrong. Second, don't see Indians as Indians and germans as germans. See all as humans and then there won't be a problem

  • its not that.....maharashtra is most developed and wealties state in india...and Mumbai is rwealthiest city contributing 70% of indias industrial output....38.49% of total BSE wealth is in maharshtra(mumbai).....and about Dharavi slum coz of North Indians worker(UP and Bihar) mograte to maharshtra in mobs..coz they dont have livelihood in north india.....and cant you see that the people in slum speak hindi...not marathi not any other south language......

  • @suryaji2 . lol india sucks 78% earn less than $2 per day.

  • rich indian sucks

  • All of Mumbai is one Giant slum : Its a pity - this city could become a shining example of Civilization. It was cleaner under the british and our politicians raped it to a ghetto!!!

  • thank you i was waiting for someone to say that

  • India is like another planet in Earth. Can you imagine how big woudl be the problem if Indians were islans?

  • um can you learn to speak and not be racist

  • there you have it, the dark side of capitalism!

  • @Xelljon I couldn't agree more. join the zeitgeist movement for solution

  • @Xelljon .what and the 60 years india lived by a socialist agenda were good?

  • Rich get richer, poor get poorer. Its all about money.

  • wow..... so, they are going to move 1mil people out of their houses?

    come on, 1mil, saying that there's about 100,000 adult males(just guessing), wow, that's a good number for a riot.

  • beautiful and tragic India!!

    Thank you for the video

  • India is not going to be tragic any longer. It may be chaotic and unconventional but Indians are industrious and a hard working people...which is why India is booming.

  • yes..on the 60th anniversary of our republic day, let's hope you are right...

  • Truly amazing even in these worst condition these people are making their living working hard and have a smile on their face! A proud Indian

  • @pgk500 shameful

  • Mumbai should be renamed again, this time, Slumbai.

  • Comment removed

  • Many of the indians who work in my office say that India is a superpower. 90% of Indians live in places like the ones shown in the video. Super power. ha ha. Come and kiss my ass

  • What are you lauging at? Its not funny! And I dont think 90% lives in slum like this. Not sure though. Don't laugh at India! India is a GREAT, BEAUTIFUL, unique country with great and beautiful people (one was pretty rude i remember but I think shes really nice too... but she wasnt nice... hrmm)!!! I know alot of ppl in US ARE NOT ignorant as you, but you give US a bad reputation. Wow youre really full of shit arent you? Fool kiss my as wtf? lol stfu

  • which girl do you say was pretty rude, the girls in india dont even talk nicely unless you are smart or handsome. In foreign country mostly from the west are too friendly, here in india every girl thinks boys are potential rapist

  • Well i think the girls in India are nice and beautiful... this girl got pissed off ... and said some stuff that scared me alittle... and pissed me off! well, she got mad, perhaps she thought i was ´gonna buy something but i didnt... i dont know. I was mean back to her though... but yeah well i dont know if she thought I was handsome or not.i guess she was beautiful all girls are! ;) well I think youre overreacting, and i dont agree ppl here in Europe is nice, so are they in India and thats good

  • 101% i wonder as well how come india spending money on luxuries and defence when its people are starving....

  • simple....! demonstration effect we spend on foolish things like jeans shoes to impress girls and see they are itself spreading disease like aids

  • simple demonstration effect, i mean that indians are copy cats and generally (especially girls) they imitate rich people from westerners. shame on them.

  • you are very ignorant cause you have not yet come out of your shell, wait for 5 more yrs then you will be kissing our ass

  • when did i said that india is superpower u just take that word ulta then u will understand where we stand.

  • LAAAAAATIKAAAAAAA!

  • This documentary made my prostate brittle.

  • LAAAAAATIIIIIKKKAAAA!

  • we are getting 15 trillion rupees from a country soon

    then see the devolopment and see where we reach

    future superpower awaits!

    guess whcih country?

    ofcourse, only 1 contry can

    ***U!S!A!***

  • The USA shall donate 15 trillion Rupees to India in exchange for 15 trillion Herpes. Due to the strange exchange rate system, they will also be receiving syphilis and chlamydia.

  • Good Joke (usa shall donate)..

    usa itself is begging china to provide money for stimulas.. wake up man..

  • The USA is begging China for a cursory blowjob.  It will receive that in exchange for a meager pint of coke. The coke erstwhile will be extorted from Columbia for a sex change whilst it receives a stimulus from Mexico.

  • LAAAATIKKKAAA!!!!!

  • retarded comment

    lol.

  • LAAAAATIKKKKKKAAAAA!!!

  • Scumbai.

  • ur a scum, u got that! not india!

  • Comment removed

  • @ananya7ananya Scumdia!

  • @Telears to hell with u, u scum bag!!

  • Why look down on poor people? They are doing the best they can.

    I think it is wonderful that they are moving forward despite their circumstances. Instead of being self-righteous, how about being grateful?

  • HAHA YOU MEXICANS CANT EVEN HANDLE 109 People in your drug dealing country!!! Try handling 1 billion people. Congratulation you Mexicans still whole the title for the most shittest worthless people ever next too the other 5 shit countries south too you!!!

  • Yes I agre with you. Im just half mexican and I have to say I felt ashamed to be mexican. But now, after going to India... ufff what a shithole.. really??? It was like walking through rubbish. India stinks, really. You should go to Mexico and compare it with India. It may be difficult now with the drug dealing but at least everyone takes a shower

  • Shower? Half of them dont even shower after mowinng america shitty ass! Once again, try handling 1 billion people then we'll see who really stinks. Shoot, India may be poor but we had too work our ass of after the British left. lets not forget the wars we had too fight againt pakistan china. On the other hand you got America protecting your ass with all your NATO forces. Your country never experince what real world is bro.

  • shut u asshole, india is making chutyagiri (foolishness), pak has invaded many times to india but india has to show its prestige by nt attacking any country from past 10, 000 yrs actually we are foolish and coward so we are only shouting like a bitch. im ashamed to call as an indian, fucking racist country people, even foreigners are good and better than indians emotionally and monitorly

  • good for you. Be proud of being a mexican.

  • Dear Mexican... You know what ... I am Indian and not even angry at what you said about my country. Welcome to India and its people. Sometimes major countries have problems. If India were to start worrying about everything some random Mexican, Guatamelan or Costa Rican or some such random foreigner from some such nation with zero political, diplomatic, military or economic clout had to say, we would never have time to do anything else.

  • I am a Canadian, And the people that live in this slum are doing the very best they can and obviously Deserve Better, they are probably some of the hardest & honest workers in the world, I hope for the best for these people, especially the children.

  • And on the flip side... I find Mexico so exotic. Mexicans are so polite, welcoming and I like the Spanish language so much.

    Mexico is the perfect place to go for a wonderful cultural experience. But sometimes, I wish Mexicans still remember the language/religion of the time before they became slaves to Spain.

    Even so, Mexico is a wonderful tourist spot, the perfect place if you want a break from the fast paced life of major nations and want a look into the quaint past.

  • india is not shit, there is no country like india!

  • yes corruption, narrow minded people, fucking and copycats girls where can u find these assholes from, i bet any country cant be so foolish as india is

  • Some people says that Mumbai smells like shit.

    is that true?

  • Ya like your mom

  • Comment removed

  • change is coming Mumbai will be the centre of the world

  • Doubt it, the caste system, segregation between religious communities and other such social ills all are putting a damper on it, and not enough is being done to bring in the words of Ghandi to stop all the above. Only when you have the MASSES living middle class lives and able to buy goods and services in droves can you have a thriving economy, as seen in the first world. So much hatred for separate castes and other such stuff NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED FIRST, EVERYONE MUST BE MIDDLE CLASS.

  • Indians stop fucking so much. Use condoms.

  • used to live in a place like that. I kinda miss it

  • Other than Indians, everyone enjoys inside their heart, seeing the slums...they don't want to see a growing India...there is no happiness.........!!

  • very pessimistic documentary, completely lacks the positive aspect.

    Do you want the slums to stay??

  • how i can visit the dharavi slum

    if i would be there.

    where to contact?

    somebody know?

    please response to me

  • take a ticket to bombay from where ever u live and get out of the airport and take a cab ull b there in probably 15 minutes , wat do u wanna do there ?

  • google reality tours , mumbai

  • These slums are built on International standards and guidelines and follow the requirements stipulated by the International Commission for Slum Development Authority

  • really ?

  • This is so sad

  • भारत महान है! बनाएँ भारत, गर्व और हिन्दी में बात / स्थानीय भाषाओं जब आप भारत में हैं.बनाओ भारत गर्व! अंग्रेजी में बात करें, जब आप भारत के बाहर हैं.धन्यवाद.

  • dharavi slums are there now or have been demolished?

  • Jai Hind.

  • For all the people who hate India and are just using the current slum situation as an excuse to insult India, I laugh at you. While you insult India develops. Pakistan you talk about has its own problems (TERRORISM) slow economic growth. It was lead by a crook for god sake. India while boom so fast you will get the wind knocked out of you.

  • Check here none of Pakistani cities:

    In Pictures: The World's 25 Dirtiest Cities

    Google search and check!

  • Oh shut up already. There is so much jealousy coming from you trying to prove India to be this and that that you can cut the desperation with a knife...

  • Its the POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK

    GAY HIND!

  • Don't even try and act like you know what that saying means. Thats made me laugh...

  • when did i said that india is great but do u see that indians are trying to get up to their feet, but our fucking corrupt govt and police dept is not letting to make us improve even fucking pakistan has attacked so much but still we are doing stupidity by expecting friendship from these assholes

  • How does your insulting comments solve anything? Do you find it funny to offend Indians by some reason?

    Don't you feel any sorrow whilst watching this? Get a life and try to help people instead of being so damn inhuman. People like you disgust me so much, and make me lose faith in humanity.

  • HOW do they even breath. Oh tchtch I advice their women to stop spending so much in cheap and vulgar dresses but concentrate on make the environment healthy. That should work. But it seems that they are all busy in dancing!

  • yeah correct i fully agree with u as an indian im feeling sad that our money is going to these girls

  • Pakistan has much cleaner cities than India. A friend of mine from Africa told me she heard that MUMBAI was the dirtiest city in the world and here is the proof!

  • INDIA has so much poplultaion that its out of control now. pakistan has been working on controlling poulation since early nineties and we have overcome it a lot. You wont find so much crowd in Pakistan as in India and thats why they are filthiest nation.

  • poor pakistani ass , i have read your coments - you are biggest liar ever and i know pakistan very very well

    max kids in the world die in pakistan due to bad drinking water

    just check few videos of karachi n see how nice pakistan is - 600,000 slums in orangi - karachi

    most pakistan cities dont get electricity for 16 hrs minm

  • Does your media show that? NO not its just shows the Taliban fighting. Did americans not threw bombs on HIROSHIMA NAGASAKi?

    So what if Pakistan is having problems with the WAR that is not even its.

    Stupid Americans are just bombing and killing civilians and provoking our childrean to react later!

  • What a disgusting situation! We complain about so many trivialities in the west, and yet we live like kings. It will take a lot more than government to solve it , but it can and will (God willing) improve. India has a lot to offer. The people might be poor, but many of them are very intelligent. The youth are getting more involved in politics and people are beginning to accept western technology so I believe there is hope. Thank you for uploading!

  • NADIA ALI another Pakistani american check the web and you'll know. Now you will reply me saying what has Pakistan got to do with her training?

    Then check HOW much Pakistani pop is popular in south asia. Pakistanis are being invited to sing for indian movies.

  • Very sad to look at this video. This is the life or muslims in india's most modern and Economy hub. I was only shocked when i was visited bihar couple of years ago but didnt know that not only bihar even in mumbay people and specially muslim living in slums areas.

  • I was only shocked when i was visited bihar couple of years ago but didnt know that not only bihar even in mumbay people

    oh god so its every where thats why all the Indian youths are running out of India and migrating to US. Now I see.

  • I dont see any one living in Pakistan like this. I pity them

  • This must be sarcasm! Are you joking? I feel sorry for the Pakistani's too because the women don't even have any rights..Thats as backwards as it comes! The west isn't perfect, but at least we have basic rights and even our poor would be considered royalty in other lands.
