Poor Little Rich Slum (edició 2012)

Thanks to Slumdog Millionaire and the entrepreneurial spirit that is synonymous with the place, one can now take a ‘Dharavi Slum Tour’ – a tourist attraction apparently. That’s how Rashmi Bansal and Deepak Gandhi started their exploration of Dharavi. Supported by excellent photographs by Dee Gandhi, they have brilliantly captured the paradox that is Dharavi.

Sharing stories of ingenuity and success and yet not holding back on the poor living conditions of the residents this book presents a balanced view of Dharavi which is very inspiring to read. ( )
