Dharavi is such a failure of the system. It is truely depressing.
As a mumbai native, I have to say, foreigners obsess about Dharavi too much. It is just the largest slum we have and it's not even that bad for Indian standards. There are multi-crore businesses being run from there. We have smaller slums in much worse conditions all over urban India. Dharavi has become like the privileged brand ambassador for Indian slums.
Its more about the neglect. One thing I know about people is they find a way to live and thrive. Also gtfo with that foreigner bullshit. It's the first thing you see when you land into Mumbai, no Indian is proud about a slum, except you for some reason. So nuff with the cope. Even if there are multi-crore businesses there. The question is should people live like that, underserved and neglected. To me. No.
