  • I hate men like Mukesh Mehta who are unaware about the sensitive issues in social development and pretend to "modernize" India. Instead of taking up a project which will improve conditions in Dharavi, he is trying to evacuate the people for profit motives. He simply wants to make money at the cost of the poor. His speech is so fake and it disappoints me that men like him lead this project.

  • his office is in dharavi, in a shine golden glassed building that over looks the slum, you can work there for 6 years you won't have a clue what it's all about, let alone 6 months. the proposals seems ridiculous, the only thing i can see is the money to be made from such a development. simply installing sanitation and water supply will benefit them ofcourse, but no one cares about that because no money can be made.

  • i am wholeheartedly against the dharavi project. how can a government completely ignore the vast majority of opposition to this? between 600,000 to 1 million live in dharavi and very few of them want to leave. they have lived there for generations, built their homes and livelihoods from the ground up. now it has been made abundantly clear that they will ALL be rehoused, whether they want to be or not. this is not democracy.

  • this is the biggest human rights violation in the history of india

  • thx for uploading!

  • i read about this in the National geographic magazine.. it appears to be some kind of improvement for the quality of life for dharavi
