Taste of your own medicine sunshine, should read your nonsensical banter before pressing the reply. :azn:

Still oozing with verbal diarrhoea, well then again one has to understand your surroundings more over your are even incompetent to differentiate between digesting and digressing. :cheesy:

And thats it ? Can someone please transalate this into English ? :lol:

Ah ! what a way to win/weasel out of arguments. :lol: "I will never accept" :lol: Dont accept , who cares ? But the reality doesnt change.




True - All these internet haters can see is some pictures of Dharavi. But little do they know that the annual economic turnover of Dharavi is about 1 Billion dollars, a quarter of their defence budget !!

Ever met crorepatis in slums? Go to Bandra-Kurla Complex

Hafiz Mohammed is a taxi driver. He comes home dog-tired at 1am, but wakes up just four hours later because of the commotion outside his 10-by-10 feet shanty at Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC). These days he is getting even less sleep because when it rains, his tin roof leaks.

But life is about to take a fairytale turn for Mohammed. Soon he will have a 1BHK flat in Bhandup and send his son to an English medium school. That is because he is within touching distance of Rs1 crore. It will not be a jackpot win. It is money a builder will eventually pay Mohammed and each of scores of hutment owners to obtain their land for development.


“He has offered us Rs90 lakh each. But we are waiting for the sum to reach a crore,” Mohammed says smugly.

The Slum People are greedy, they are getting $2,00,000 But these thugs are asking $2,25,000 for 10-by-10 feet shanty at Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) where tin roof leaks.

Mohammed’s slum is in Tata Colony, near the BKC police station. Eighteen months ago, the builder offered Rs45 lakh per hutment, of which there were 486. More than half the hutment owners accepted the amount and moved out. But to persuade the ones who did not, the builder kept increasing the amount till it touched Rs80 lakh. Still, 60 hutment owners remained, for whom he has jacked up the sum by Rs10 lakh. Going by the trend, Rs1 crore might be some months away.

Tata Colony slum dwellers are not the only ones to witness the windfall. Builders are offering such bonanzas throughout BKC. Initially, though, the plan was to redevelop the slums by rehabilitating the people living in them in small flats in multi-storey blocks and use the remaining land for posh apartments for sale in the open market. But the builders found that there were few takers for the posh flats as the clientele did not like the idea of slum dwellers being housed in the same premises.

Once all the slum dwellers move out, the developers will apply for a change of land-use status. The Tata Colony developer is planning to build a mall in place of the slum rehabilitation blocks.

The plans of three other big developers involved in BKC slum projects are no different. But while these big shots will mint money in the long run, humble taxi drivers like Mohammed are at this very moment laughing all the way to the bank.

According to Xe.com

$1=INR 44.1830
Therefore, 1 Crore=1,00,00,000/44.1830 = $2,26,331

99.5% of the Pakistanis cannot afford a House in Dharavi:hang2:

So that just shows that you can't any of these 'sources of information' seriously, because they just contradict themselves. So, the best way to compare Dharavi with Orangi Town is by looking at the pictures of both places, because that's the reality :cheers:

LOL, aaah, the visual comparison as the UN reports don't offer the visual appeasment you people keep searching here.

The taller, fairer martial slums of Pakistan! We'll surrender en masse, but we will look good doing it!!!

The reality is that slums exist everywhere, comparing them to feel good about it is sign of a people devoid of ANYTHING REAL to celebrate.

Indian slum population doubles in two decades

The number of people living in slums in India has more than doubled in the past two decades and now exceeds the entire population of Britain, the Indian Government has announced.
India’s largest slum population is in Bombay, the country’s financial and film capital, where an estimated 6.5 million people – at least half the city’s residents – live in tiny makeshift shacks surrounded by open sewers. Bombay is also home to Dharavi, Asia’s biggest single slum, which is estimated to house more than a million people.

Delhi, the national capital, has the country’s second-largest slum population, totalling about 1.8 million people, followed by Calcutta with about 1.5 million.

This isn't anywhere in India. It's Philippines. Condition of slums in India are far worse. Atleast Orangi has good wide roads,schools, hospitals and parks. Mumbai slums don't even have any room for roads.
