The Pathos Pain And Poetry Of Street Slum Dwellers


Most of these migrant workers were bought from neighboring Southern states as daily wage workers and once the work got over , the migrants who got the feel of Mumbai, children begging bought in more income , so the migrant workers decided to stay back, build their commune pay the local hoodlum and the authorities hafta , protection money and once they got ration card other identity prof they became citizens of Mumbai.. than came the bulldozers to drive them out , than came the politicians to fight for them as this chunk was part of vote bank politics that is part of a faulty democracy.. the flaws in democracy no social leader tried to eradicate , and make it a working system.. than corruption came seeped in, and its tough to now get rid of it ..

As a street photographer I shoot pain of the homeless all be it Indian legal citizens .in this lot you wont find illegal Bangla Deshi citizens ...
