Orangi just looks like a typical neighborhood you would find in arab world, north africa, parts of west/south asia. Looks normal.

If Dharavi can have a Billion dollar thriving economy and still call it a slum, then why not call Orangi the biggest slum?

Why are we debating? Slums can be beautiful too, in their own way! The vibrancy of the inhabitants can make up for many downs. Basic sanitation and clean water is a must, because no matter how nice my neighbors are I don't want to sleep beside my own faeces!

So u've travelled half of India?

Its pretty easy to tell. The percentage could be much larger than 50% primarily because of the standards of living in Orangi town versus India.

I take Orange Township any day compare to Dharavi's funny looking

slum. And you can't judge that with so call thriving economy.

For god sake, stop trying to boast your Indian ego when you are

having a crisis of open defecation!!

Dharavi dont define slum but defy slum. The place alone have an economy of about 1.3 Billion with trade and entrepreneurship thriving. After all its Mumbai dear, they wont build a house with backyard as they dont have any llegal record to show land ownership.

Dharavi Business

Orangi

This looks like a poor neighborhood, kind of looks like a village. (Every large city has a poor neighborhood).


Dharavi

This looks like a slum.




BTW. Look at the wordings from Times of India it called Karachi, the largest city of Pakistan a slum..it didn't even use the town's name but used the entire city's name. Times of India must be the worst news source on earth.

A slum, as defined by the United Nations agency UN-HABITAT, is a run-down area of a city characterized by substandard housing and squalor and lacking in tenure security.

Orangi is alot better according to this definition.

Interesting, it seems one of them is not like the others. One of them doesn't have electricity nor sewage drainage. Guess which 'slum' that is.
