Symbol of shining India - Dharavi slum

India had Dharavi why did it need the IMF bailout in 1991?
Ah. Valid question. India had a major triple whammy in 1991. Its biggest export market collapsed - USSR. Gulf War led to oil prices shooting up. And the Govt. was a weak coalition Govt. of Chandrashekar which collapsed and India was in the middle of an election. Yet, the IMF provided a loan against gold collateral as India pledged 67 tons of gold and flew that to London and Switzerland.

Billion dollars or not, a slum's a slum, you can't hide behind excuses, the fact that now tourists of all people are visiting it too might spur those in power to act.

This will be interesting to see how the Maharashtra gov. approaches it, won't be holding my breath though.

Mumbai perfectly displays India's lopsided disparity, we have Dharavi and Antilla seperated by barely a bus ride :(.

The billion plus earned by the residents is a testament to their hardwork and innovation. They (the residents) should be relocated in such a manner where their productivity benifits the country.

indians are uncivilized people and have no manners which is the real cause of this situation of india.

Yes, Indians should be civilized like Pakistanis with their modern smart city of Orangi Town.

It's just a matter of time ,dharavi will be symbol of redevelopment.

It wont be. Dharavi is simply too huge. The project you are mentioning is just a small portion of Dharavi. Politics in Dharavi is a huge deal. Politicos and local mafia's control will loose if Dharavi is developed. It wont happen nor the politicians and business people are real serious about developing them. Its all about money. And Dharavi is money with poor people.

Indira Gandhi chanted garibi hatao in 1972 , still we are gareeb , anyways i dont care u hate modi or not ,its your choice
moreover , tell him to prove it modi said that , the problem is few ignorant illiterate brainless people watch propaganda videos of various political parties at the internet , and blindly follow and believe the same , perhaps they dont want to know the truth as it suits them as their life has same cause . ignore such people as they will only waste your time and get garbage to you too

Pakistanis are told nothing friend.
And watch every Pakistani channel, except for some coverage during your election nothing is shown or no narrative is shaped unlike India where narrative about Pakistan is shaped.
No talk show does programs on India, nothing about India is ever discussed.
Now you see the euphoria that is created that it is Modi who attacked Pakistan and it is Modi who is the saviour and who saved our economy and f the false perception of development coupled with mainstream media acting as bjp media cell has won them elections.
Do you really think a person living in slum, has nothing to eat and work day and night to eat a single meal would really care who he votes . But though Bollywood, through your media you bjp has created an illusion and built a house of cards . People gave come under the influence . It is not like old days . You can influence people narrative and people thoughts because people are not intellegent enough to understand these things. Not that I say the Congress is a better option for India, it is not .
But same was bjp .
With your economy you can work wonders.
Those wonders are not happening.

Pakistanis are told nothing friend

Then my dear, where from these comments (coloured) came from ? :D

Orangi Town Karachi...a supposedly slum, looks better than many planned areas in Indian cities.

It is not a slum by any stretch of imagination....

Orangi Town Karachi.

You really have some problem friend .
Why are you so defensive . I am a pakistani for me Modi and Rahul are same.
Then for your question where did my opinion or my observation of India came then it is not based on Pakistani media , it is my own interest in common Indian politics and Indian economy that led me to this very simple conclusion. I may be very very wrong. But when your house of cards fall, it would fall hard .
Everything stands on illusion and not on storing foundations.
Nothing concrete has been achieved .
 
.
True. And am sure this will improve too. We all have issue... Whether it's India or Pakistan.. Am sure your country has hist of other issues as well. So truth always remains truth.. you're right.
Good for you seriously .
But the truth remains the truth .
The rich get richer and the poor is getting poorer.

They have orangi biggest slum in the world but unlike Dharavi which has loads of single room factories, huge leather market and turnover approx 1 billion
Orangi isnt a shanti town slum.

Its a low income neighbourhood:

Orangi has Hospitals,universities etc.

Dharavi with its 1 million population is a shanti, tin dotted slum.

Perhaps u should ask the billionaires of dharavi to spend half of that 1 billion on themselves instead of living sub human lives.
