Life In The Slums

[rebeccaloulou10]

knock the slums down and make em die alone hehehh

[cralosfuentes]

if things arent going so well, then why continue to have kids?

[thSannin]

@cralosfuentes ?

you think that if you couldn't afford condoms you would actually stop having sex completely?

[cralosfuentes]

@thSannin well if you can't afford condoms then what makes you think you can afford diapers and baby food??

[thSannin]

@cralosfuentes ...ask your parents how babies are born. You don't exactly order them on ebay

[cralosfuentes]

@thSannin umm derp?? you completely missed the point

[D3HDUTYBAI]

@ 1996 , shut the fuck up you selfish piece of shit, maybe you stop thinking about your Fucking self and think about the situation those families are in .....maybe your dumbass would actually have a different perspective on the situation if you would have been one of those children but no instead your not , so in other words don't talk unless you can get your fat ass of your sofa and help those families with those 6 children.

[1996LAW]

okay the solution is simple if slum inhabitants keep breeding kids and have a family of 6 living in a slum none of them are probably gonna get educated and for generations theyll be stuck in slums they need to cut down population thats the problem fix the slums irrigation etc and renovate it! it makes india look bad and many people think its one of the poorest countries in the world because of this bad slum image!

[zietda2]

what do we learn of this?

Stop fucking like rabbits, the human population cant take it anymore

Bill Gates donated $20 billion to the 3rd world while your motherfucken billionaire built a $1 billion high rising home next to Darahvi slum. and your mutherfucken corrupt government gives no shit about you. that sums up how cooperating you are.

[lablask]

@a552bcx the same billionare has provided extra 500,000 jobs last year!!!

[a552bcx]

@lablask so what Bill Gates provided 500,000 or more jobs around the world directly and indirectly also AND he donated $20 billion. go ahead defend that billionaire of yours, but go to darahvi and put yourself in their shoes. I want you to look up at his $1 billion home then look at the people in darahvi. that's insulting and degrading, yeah. of all the places in india he could build why build there.

[lablask]

@a552bcx if he donates all that money then market will collapse and thousands will lose job because it will be directed towards a null point!!!it is better that he invests that money in building roads and clean energy to houses and increasing country's oil production.get a life.India is not a developed country that it starts donating its money while it people need roads,jobs and elctricity!

[lablask]

@a552bcx

this house directly employs 6000 people as staff and provides home to 20 families!!!he has earned that money through his hatdwork and he has full right to spend it the way he likes.He is a national hero in every sense You expect that Indians should earn money and then donate it.that will a disaster for a growing economy which runs on capitalistic values and freedom of things and that includes freedom of the way you live.

[Parishrut2]

@a552bcx Dear, he donates more than 1 billion for the poor too.

[HALILYILMAZ2010]

GIRDDI GURDDI BURDDI HURDDI CURRY BIRRI HIRRI KUKUDUDIDIRDDI DIRRDI BURDDI

ITS MEANT IM INDIAN AND IM FROM SLUM

FUNNY ACCENT THEY HAV

[egor2112]

the funny thing is..there are so many parts of bombay that are soo nice and upscale..yet for some reason the good and the bad clash..yet still work. Bombay has probably one of the best restaurants in the world...top of the line by the way

[gunshadow98]

okay fine my town isn't that bad

[xTheNightWatchmanx]

When i watch things like this........it makes me feel guilty that i have a bed,food,heat and a good family.......and i find it hard to sleep at night also.......its wrong..........someone needs to make a stand.......and even if it takes a hundred years!

[dzgfdg]

@xTheNightWatchmanx the growing communist movement in India is going to change it, support it.

[oodnac]

@dzgfdg You may be joking, I sure hope you are. Just look around the world, and note how many countries which have, or had, a communist government, are successful. Communist governments exist to make their politicians rich. Democracy is not perfect but it distributes the wealth much more evenly.

[dzgfdg]

@oodnac Democracy is highly inefficient, and there has never been a communist nation.

[oodnac]

@dzgfdg Democracy is the only way. I think, the USSR/Russia, N Korea, China, Cuba, et al would disagree that they are nations, and have Communist government. Please don't bore me with a "They are not true Communist" reply. They would disagree with that comment as well.

[dzgfdg]

@oodnac USSR: Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics.

[oodnac]

@dzgfdg Yes, you have solved that acronym. It's worth noting that Socialism is an Economic system, and Communism is a system of Government. The USSR had a Communist government. :o)

[dzgfdg]

@oodnac Yes Socialism is, but so is Communism. Communism is not a government system. It's also worth noting that Democracy can be applied in Communism. The USSR had a totalitarian government, while their economy was based on extreme socialism and command.

[sk8ter922892]

@xTheNightWatchmanx I know every night I just think "Right now there are children sleeping in the streets."

[joetheleg77]

People in india should not be too ashamed at this.

Just look at  "thurrock council eyesore" to see how many English live.

[a552bcx]

@joetheleg77 "thurrock council eyesore" that's england's standards for poverty but those homes there look like multimillion dollar home compare to darahvi.you could fit 20 darahvi familiy in one house. for everyone who don't believe me check it out "thurrock council eyesore"

[barrelofagun08]

Fucking dirty, disorganised subhuman conditions only fit for Indians to live in!

[SlimyCow]

@barrelofagun08 I can't believe i just read that! Inappropriate and racist!

[SuperCeol]

that kid is the cutest 

[khalidshou]

I wud like to visit that slum one day, to see poor souls in India, the next superpower....yeah

[vrvi]

@khalidshou hey, india is progressing very rapidly. just about every respected economist believes that in 60 years india will be among the top 3 economic powerhouses in the world. things are changing very rapidly. also, there are poor people in every country. recent statistics show 1 in 7 Americans are living in poverty.

[imrkha1]

@vrvi but 1 in 7 americans dont live in slums of course.

[GryffindorGurl]

the problem is that the rich or well off ppl in india dont give a damn about these poor people living in the slums! thats it

[saturnsongs]

Maybe one day they will all turn away from their SLUMGOD BUDDHA who's left them in deplorable conditions.

[wikiwikidrumbass]

@saturnsongs yeah i dont think believing in any god will help them lol, the problem in india is simple. 1.3 billion people + limited resources = extreme poverty

[micky8701]

@saturnsongs What are you talking about? Buddha is not a God and most of the people living in those slums are not Buddhist.

[Gerttervill1]

@saturnsongs they worship allah and hinduism dipshit. you fail idiot

[atlasshrugged2u]

That movie was frickin Awesome!! It had so many lessons, and messages in it that were priceless.

OMG that kid is the cutest thing, he was really the star!

THIS is real poverty! Not taking anything away from Americans and what theyr'e going through, living in "tent cities" but it is not to be confused with this kind of poverty.

[sidahmedabad]

well most people dont know that even those slums go for 23,00,000 and if u convert it into US dollar then its comes to around $51,000

[watkins35146]

yeah right, who the hell is going think the word "dog" is held or would be held in a positive light. i'd be mad too if i lived there..and they dont even get anyone from that area to play the lead role, they take some middle class kid who knows nothing about that way of life, how pathetic!!!!!!!!

[neeladkandan]

Yes its real story...the government have to do something to change their life.

[errerer94]

Not as bad as you think it would be.

[Overxpossed]

Haha... we believe we're more advanced just because we buy iPhones and have guided missiles of mass destruction... LOL!!!!

[SuperShakuntala]

Beautiful Spirtis are the people of Daravi

[MultiAREE]

That place really fucking sucks cock

[chickenflu4]

WTF is wrong with "teeths are cleaned with twigs"?? It's an age old Indian way for cleaning teeth and nothing to do with poverty. Twigs are mostly of neem or other medicinal trees. it keeps the gum and teeth healthy!

[theiceman9081]

@chickenflu4 that guys teeth didn't look healthy at all

[rubberdukeee]

it reminds me of eastwood

[Olengher]

Northen cities don't have problems with slums.Human condition sucks so much that if god turn on the heat we overcrowd and if the winter is harsh you can watch on tv poor homless people die along with their children and you realise it increase your chance and the road ahead is more easy.

[PUCCAPANAMA]

the women in Dharavi doing her MBA its such a great inspiration,,she is not studying in the best conditions yet she does it !

[Frisco415kid]

dam im from sunnydale sf projects but dat makes my neighborhood look like mansions

[jattbenipal]

i saw a documentary where they showed that pple three donot have money to buy a pair of shoes but they are equipped with bigmachine guns. Guns there is the first and last toy for a child to play with..sometimes i think about all those rappers bragging bout their crime life those fakers wont survive a single minute in thier world . word up

[Raeanne231]

7:49 what a lil honey ......

[Lobtoff10]

Interesting clip. After I saw Slumdog Millionaire I've become interested of India and especially Mumbai.

[jattbenipal]

lemme shed a lil more light on the slums of india . slums of mumbai are bad but if you search about the slums of bihar, uttar pradesh ull be shocked to see how those guys survive in their erryday life..

[fiesta1100]

i have just watched a programme with kevin mc cloud in the slums in india,I think they are the most amazing people in the world,They dont have what we take for granted yet they just get on with their lives and without government handouts,I could understand if those people turned to crime,Drink or drugs. we in britain could learn a lot from theese people.

[micky8701]

@fiesta1100 I do not understand whether or not you are trying to give a glorified view of these people's lives. Human trafficking, lack of education, high rates of suicide, disease, etc. These people go on with their lives because that is all they can do. Their life is almost all they have. Almost all animals go on with their lives, even in the most deplorable conditions. It's usually not a choice. It is just basic survival instinct.

[SuperCeol]

@micky8701 good comment. its the zoo animal argument, 'they don't know any different". of course they do!

[dzgfdg]

@fiesta1100 You Brits are the reason why they live like that.

[lletah]

Amazing how in India smart inhabitants live in conditions like people lived two millennia ago

[emzkk09]

[noticeyou1]

Slum or shanty town in America like in India? where?

[vrvi]

@noticeyou1 have you been to the worst ghettos of new york city? there are plenty of slums and ghettos in America that most people don't get to see because the media never takes cameras down there- probably because it's too dangerous. On the other hand, there are also many hundreds of breathtakingly beautiful places in India that no one gets to see because slums are more shocking and bring in more viewers. The American media would never show America's bad side and make their country look bad.

[vrvi]

@noticeyou1 I've lived in America for many years and been to some of the worst parts of the country since my organization works in underresourced communities and I can tell you there are many slums and shanty towns in the country. it's an ugly side of america that the media wishes not to acknowledge, but it exists.

[musicMONKEY07]

its slumdog millionaire not billionaire and it's not a million dollors its 20 million rupees you stupid american. They talk on this clip like people in America don't know what a slum or shanty town is, or that it's really like that

[LifeFirst]

The Mumbai slums fascinates me

[moghuls]

ALAS .. what happen to the land of 'MAHARAJA'S' the 'GOLDEN BIRD'

ARABS,PERSIANS,CHINESE came looking for work & treasures you got rid of 'MOGHULS' look where you got

HINDUS,SIKHS,JAINS,MUSLIMS,CHR­ISTIANS,JEWS all lived side by side with other FOREIGNERS and everbody was HAPPY -WE are the founder of

welfare state -

where all were climing ''VASIFA' from india where 'ROLCE ROYCES'were bought in thousans ..you loosers

JAI HIND ''FOREVER''

[moghuls]

I CRY seeing this, this was the land of 'MAHARAJAS'

[killerp21]

India has a steadily improving economy. Peopel living in those shit hole slums could move and improve their lives. They have nothing to lose......

[hedonistic2008]

Honesty is best; don't hide the fact that there are such slums in India.

[L0LImAnna]

I love videos that convey reality.

[TedinWDC]

Excellent piece, sensitively portraying a real side of India.

[littlepakistan]

All these peole are very industrious and they are all working.Hats off.

[User219319]

Once again CBS has done excellent reporting. Thanks!

[littlepakistan]

Peole are very active all over india and they try to do something to gain some money.*It is very encouraging.

[User219319]

littlepakistan..We meet again and once again I agree with you! :)

[carrieluvv]

i just saw something on the news about the 2 main child actors who actually come from the slum they are showing here will only benefit from the movie when they are 18. they will get money from a trust set up for them. until then they get nothing. they and thier families have to wait while danny boyle and his cronies live high on the hog-

[hotchili64]

if so well somebody might ask why they dont give the money to the parents so they can improve now ?

easy answer ( attention truth is arriving ) cause if u give any slum guy a big amount of cash the first thing the father will do is to get on drink and hashis and prositutes and gambling till the cash is gone and after sell the kid off.....boyle knew this and only give the cash to thekids once they 18th ...

[hotchili64]

now i dont want to know how many people already line up for theyr share....aunts uncles brothers neighbours the local mafia all kinds of money lenders who lend the father and take the future fortune as a security....( in india kids inherit the debts of theyr parents and if they dont pay it back the loan sharks throw acid in theyr face or burn them alive

[lakerfan198126]

fuck em

[Rocschneider]

India is a slum. Fact.

[VARISHvarind]

when you look at india you are looking into your countrys future.this is what it will look like.

[vaneeta1]

wow such poverty but many businesses are developed too in the slums

[khalidshou]

Showing the true side of India does not mean we r hurting their dignity~~right?

[xBLaKHearTx]

God! It's the damn truth! Get over it!

[aggieboy369]

None of the proceeds from the film or DVD sales will be donated to Indian slums.
