The Seeds Of A Slum Are Sown This Way.., a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

This was a huge sprawling bustling hustling street slum , stalls shops homes and prostitution den of the hijras, they solicited openly , one of the hijra lady was a Devdasi known to me I met her often at the Mahim Urus too but she stayed away from the hijra den.. .

Once I walked from Dadar to Bandra shooting pictures of the slums the hijras threatned me I was new to shooting hijras so I buckled to their threats.

And than one day the slum dwellers got a good relocation deal packed out in no time t a distant suburb of Mankhurd I was told...

And this place was cleaned sensitized and it is coming up again gradually such is the urge of Man to own his own home.
