Mumbai. Wealth and Poverty / Real Life in Indian Slums
Vložit

- Today we have the most contrasting city in the world - Mumbai (formerly Bombay). Here billionaires build themselves palaces of 40 floors and live under the protection of armored cars and special forces. And nearby - people survive on a couple of dollars a month. And next to them are people who survive on a couple of dollars a month. In Mumbai, slum dwellers have become almost a separate nation. They refuse to leave them, even when they can. What does an Indian paradise look like? And how life really works in the stone jungle of India's largest city.
Episode about Delhi • India from the inside:...
#mumbai #india #letsgo
India may be the world's largest democracy, but no one ever said it was the world's best example of it.
Which are the Top 5 though?
Some of the happiest people I have met were in India. The best way I can explain it is that religion works for these people. By western standards, these people had nothing to smile about but after many decades, it's the smiles I remember because you don't see many real ones here in the UK.
Really and how does it put food in the table
@@tofurakhanom2644 Quite successfully I would Imagine as some of them were really old. I'm not an expert at economics - why don't you have a look for yourself?
N😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😢😢😢😢😢😢k😢kk😮😢 mommy n no mom no 8:51 😅😅😅😅 9:07 9:08 9:08 9:08 lllllllllllll lil k I’ll lil😅😅
I’ve never been to India, but I have a lot of Indian colleagues from India. They’re the kindest and friendliest people. And they always throw parties on their holidays and feed everyone. ❤
@@tofurakhanom2644idn’t you watch? The Sikhs. Food is shared as a matter of culture.
A slum at the foot of the billionaire apartments. You don't get it. Let me explain. ALL those millionaires and billionaires NEED servants and maids. CHEAP servants and maids. Because CHEAP is what keeps them RICH. Those slums are vital for the existance of the rich. So no big deal...that's the way the system works.
And that's how Sodom & gomorra got destroyed by God eventually. Pridefulness, not giving charity, being arrogant and extremely greedy. Ugh..
@@MiaMia-px5xo No, God destroyed Sodom & Gomorrah was primarily homosexuality because the people even demanded to have sex with the Angels when they warned Lot & his family to flee that place because God's wrath were upon that 2 cities & God was going to destroy it with fire & brimstone.
Can you invite unknown person in your home
I watched the scene the laundry guy handing money on and on and on. It made a grownup man cry. Such a pure soul. I wish him a very happy life.
The poor are always more generous then the rich. They understand what it's like to not have. Blessings to all❤
So sweet that the slum dweller tried to hdnd the filmakrr money because he thought he was begging . He hss nothing yet he still was going to give .may god bless him
Like your work on these videos. Thanks!
Absolutely fantastic work. Such a fascinating culture.
You have explained it very accurately India has everything, from poor to rich. India did not try to hide the poor and as the Country grow poor people found work making more money
their living situation will also get better, even these slums are going to be revamped (when it will happen god knows, what work will start soon).
India is a developing country with time everything is going to change
Amazing video, skillfully edited as well as sick transitions. How did the video editor make these transitions? Like half of the previous frame appearing in current frame, etc.?
Amazing
Nice.
People in slums are good humble friendly happiest ppl on earth God bless them 🙏
in the USA its the other way around
If you wanna talk about the most densley populated, try Gaza because they won't reveal that on the Internet, perhaps you should consider doing a project there
Really enjoyed this video!! You went to places that one doesn't usually see in travel videos.. And explained about the trains, and the laundry area. I would love to see a video just on how they do all that laundry. What they use to do the washing, and so on! Very interesting!!
You can watch that laundry full video in another CZcams user
@Tedkunchok
Wow this looks amazing its my dream to go there
Crazy. Just crazy.
Absolutely brilliant brother, what a documentary simply brilliant
After having lifed for 20 years i do like your stories, most of all, your attitude, well done
As a woman... India was one of the toughest places for me to travel through. I had to be extra extra weary and on guard.
Let me guess you travelled to the most unsafe places in India - Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Am I right?
Did you travel to Kerala, Goa, Puducherry, Ladakh, Mysore, Shimla, Manali, Darjeeling, Dharamshala, Gujarat?.......These are the safest places in India for anyone to travel.
@@matgranger5061and northeast India is one of the safest place
@@JustFun-ce7mw Except in Manipur, eh?
@@matgranger5061 Then why is it virtually every Indian woman I know has some story of being 'eve-teased' (as the Indian euphemism goes!) in public?
@@SenorSol I also know many who faced issues in Europe and USA.
You are the new Indian Jones, Stas! Its amazing the way you get contact to all those ppl, you interview and film. You deserve a much bigger audience for your Vlog, but maybe most ppl during this challenging era are not interested in vlogs of this type of content. It seems that majority of ppl are egoistic and not able to face this type of reality checks. Or are too depressed to care. Or some even without access to net or they are blocked by their government. World awareness level is low, if ever been high. Own well being and own culture is before anything else. Fuck the rest.
India suffers from horrible Government Corruption. That more than anything is what has held them back for so long. Half a million USD for a small Condo built by men that earn at most 300 USD a month, the Government and property developers are making a killing, those Condos shouldn't cost more than 100K. What I find most disgusting is in a city with so much wealth, they can't even give these people a functioning sewer system, horrible corruption.
Mumbai has 22 million people and out of them 1 million live in Dharavi slums. Why is this guy only focusing on 1 million people and ignoring the rest? What's the point of showing only slums in a rich city like Mumbai?
Mumbai has one of the best metro systems, especially the newly built ones are world class.
Mumbai has a nominal GDP per capita of around US$10,600
So, instead of lecturing here get some knowledge and focus on your own country
@@matgranger5061 I shouldn't criticizes India, every Country has problems, Fair enough. We have homeless people with extremely rich people here in the US as well. Its just sad to see such extreme wealth and poverty in any city. I don't know much about India, that is why I found some of these CZcams videos interesting. I see you googled Mumbai's per capita GDP, which I admit is higher than I would have thought, but that is the average and it is greatly skewed higher by the super rich, not the median income, which I have no doubt is less than half the US $10,600 Per capita GDP you quoted.
@@matgranger5061 no other country has 2000 to 1 toilet or 60% live in slums ,with only 20% with running water....why would you Indians sell your mother to come live in the West if your country was so wonderful?
@@shanejones8192 I'm an Indian who is open to criticism. You are right the politicians and government officials are the main reason for this inequalities in India. Right from road, sewage and water systems are corrupt. They siphon off funds cleverly. They don't have any remorse in stealing public funds.
People are very good and hard working in these slums. they are camera friendly
The only thing I can suggest to peoples living in these types inhumane conditions is to stop having children when they themselves know they can barely eat and care for themselves, especially for those living in the slums and too poor to even leave the slums. I don’t know who they are competing with, and I am saying that respectfully, but peoples living in extreme poverty in countries around the world should make a conscious effort NOT to have a lot of children to later subject them to the same misery they’ve been already-in. It simply doesn’t make sense at this point. Smh 🤦🏽♂️😓
You expressed something I have always thought about.
That is why poverty begets poverty & no end to their misery for having too many children not only in india but all over the world.
Oh please keep your suggestions to yourself
The world will be overcrowded, but ppl there in those countries give a shit to your wishes. Haha. They approach this issue from totally different aspect. Its mostly Q about surviving, in the short term, not long term.
@@Capo51 That’s because the masses are ignorant. How in hell you keep on having children when you can’t even feed your own damn self? To later blame your government and society for not doing enough to help your miserable life?🤔 Make it make sense! 🤷🏽♂️😫
you got the awesome button! and everyone from there
Great video. Please do make one video on Goa Inquisition... it will be eyes opening
Your video is just attracting me soo much !! I watch from the start till the end even I don't want to close my eyes !
I had been to several states in India. People were ok, but the conditions were 😩. India is another world.
My goodness 40 storey building worth 2 billion dollars and the occupant is just one family surrounded by slums with unbearable place to live, its sad and heartbreaking to see this people suffer while you have a neighbor who live like they have their own kingdom.
Not all of Mumbai is like that but there are dedicated areas in Mumbai which are for the skyscrapers and skyline only and where you don’t see slums at all
Which country do you come from?Don't be judgemental..
@@les9123 Germany....m not judgemental respect it's my personal opinion .tnx
@@les9123 why are you so sensitive? that's his observations.
Maybe his observation but he is talking as if he is paying a huge amount of taxes to Indian govt...Live and let live..
I’ve literally binged all day
plus it's the old way of life style too
In Mumbai city u can see lots different city under city in Mumbai city
the taadi that you drank in slum is a fermented some kind of tree juice. You can only find in India.
Apparently, its made from coconut water.
Dharavi,gdp 1 billion USD for a population of 1 million is $1000 usa a year ,macau gdp is 35 billion for 500k people 38768.00 USD
New subscriber 👍
dharavi have a population of over 1 million but 339 pay-and-use or free community toilets,over 3000 people share one washrooms
This peoples are looking the happiest.than we in urope
The people who live in the slums are doing all the work. The people/children are trying to make the best of a horror situation.
Slum peoples always happy because they are living for today 😊no stress
Amazing journalism
Awesome content here! :)
Hey you should come to North East India Nagaland in mon district you will not regret it with our culture, traditional,food and people etc
The guy you was talking to gave away the reason no one wants to leave the slums . The average person in India makes 340 USD per year and he told you he makes 20,000.Rupis per month thats 240000.rupes per year witch means he make 390 USD per month thats he males 4680.00 per year USD witch is a hundred times more than the average person can make outside the slums . Its all about the money
Avg indian capita is 2500$/year.
Lol., u need to update.. It's not 1990..uts 2023 .. Now average indians makes 2500$ per year... It's a average... People incity makes more.. And in village makes less... Also teir is less inflation.. And government also running many schemes...
Last month IMF's report says India almost wiped out extreme poverty... And world Bank report says India a 2 largest consumer populatiol(people who spends more than 12$ per day)..
@@HomeS8fe Sorry they actually are making less now the average was 340.00 USD and now its down to 260 USD per year .
@@HomeS8fe I am not talking about in the cities but the country as a hole
@@shalaconballard9912 are u dumb or living in lala land...
Country as whole indias per capita income is close to 2500$ per year...
Kid go and read reports of IMF, world Bank like financial institutions...
Btw do u know where India is?? Half of indian population spends more than 12$ per day (consumer class and this class belive in saving).. It's 360$ a month.. And 4200$ per year.. So use ur comman sense before illogical talks..
Also I tell you one more thing... Last year world hold council published report where state that indian households has gold worth of 1.5 to 2 trillion dollars...
Really u hv zero knowledge about India.. Or u r just a ignorant bot like human..doing propaganda
The CAT ❤
Have been leaving with indians for seven years and 7 and now felt I need t tttgo to india by myself
Who watches these types of long videos just to go to sleep?
Nice work bro.. do a video in Malaysia and Indonesia bro
Malaysia? You mean Kuala Lumpur? No slums in Kuala Lumpur, only small village in the city. Jakarta Indonesia..Yes, same slums as in Mumbai. Jakarta city covered mostly with slums.
The men stay in the slum , because the value of the land in the slum is immense inspite of it being slumland.
This is the believing 2nd economic power market in years to come? Totally unbelievable !
@mark8129 People from Western countries usually show only the bad parts of the country. Just 5% of the population live in the slums. There is a lot more to India than poverty, trash, or slums. Remember, this is just one city (even though Mumbai has a lot of beautiful places). There are many other metro cities, tier 2 cities, beautiful rural villages, and tourist spots. If you're brilliant enough, you should Google about places in India or visit the country instead of basing your opinion on a dumb video that focuses on stereotyping the country.🤦♂
So it seems, according to all economic estimates. Read my comment on it, please, if interrested. Cheers!
If US actually gives list of homeless ppl correctly u ll know that it's common thing...here poor r those who came with a dream and dint make it in Mumbai or else they wouldn't be living here and they were given free homes which they sold and went back to slums
I really love this channel, can someone please tell me the name of the host?
The guy at the 1:05:39 mark, $1600 isn't it the pay too small working offshore in any capacity? I may be wrong, but pay for offshore workers either on shipping vessels or on oil rigs are considerably well paid. I guess I may be wrong. But not gonna lie, their apartment is really cozy, after spending 10 months on the sea, I would want to come to a nice cozy home where I can rest.
1:15 know that's gold.
70 seconds in😅😅😅
Shantaram obviously impacted this video content. It is a very good book. I am currently reading The Mountain Shadow, the sequel by Gregory David Roberts. Consequently, I thoroughly enjoyed this video because it displayed the actual settings from the book, the slum where Lynn, Johnny Cigar, and beloved Prabhakar lived and Carla's Goa.
Hello! im a woman who loves india too much but haven't been able to go. when you were visiting this places, did you see female travelers like yourself going around alone? if not, were them with someone else? thank you! i love your videos.
Lot of women travel u can see vlogs in CZcams
That head shake is like the word fck , versatile 😅

IF YOU WANT TO SEE LIFE, AND LIVES, YOU VISIT THE POOR. THEY TEACH EVERYONE , HOW TO APPRECIATE.
@29:40 tthe best part of the video :)
Remember the story of Chicken Little all around the world try to build a tower to the Moon and the rest of the world stay grounded and watch them look down on them as if they were better than them😮
I can't find the video about Uzbekistan, is there any other channel he was referring to?
in bangalore they use meter ....

I wonder if he got sick from the coco alcohol. That was a good scene.
There is slums loads of chaos but still india is safe ..
Yeah news do show things but trust me it’s fun we have everything india and all religions living together…
So we have the best to the worst but our worst in simple words u can travel there like dharavi or any others slums…
Don’t call these places slums, these are small scale industries that generate lot of wealth.
Many famous economist have predicted that India will become the 4th worldpower (after US, EU, China) within nxt 20 years. Their age pyramid is healthy, and the economy develops and diverfies very fast, foreign investments will grow exponentially there, the education level in Indian universities peak every year more. And in futute they can even challenge China. Like in China, the size of middle class explodes. I believe that the prediction the interviewed guy said in this vlog that 'Mumbai in 30 years will be like Dubai' will happen, no doubt on it. So watch out, the rest of the world! Those few rich ppl that I happen to know in India, are among the smartest ever met. And there are very many if them, living in India. Not only in US or UK. Your vlog value will have more weight, along the time. So keep the copy in safe!
Actually, India is the first one in population. It should be not 4th by economy but first one. I wish all the luck to Indian people
That 40-story house cost $1 billion, not $2 billion.
Its hear breaking the warmness of the Indian people. That sequence in railway station in that train tells all about them.
Now Put Big Like for Stas Amazing Work !
The poorest people are the friendliest
The story of zorastrian dead bodies left on a residential tower, is totally false. The tower of silence in Mumbai is still functioning
As per the guy, each person washes 1000 peices of clothing a day, they charge Rupees 5 per clothing, then he is earning Rs 5000($60) a day, per month is $1440, which is good money! These are not slums but small scale industries!

I once read this absolutely fascinating book by a New Zealand fugitive who ended up in Dharavi slum and made a life there for himself. Forgot the title but this was one of the most interesting books on life in Mumbay.

Why don’t they have washing machines? One person can do thousands of clothes with the washing machine I don’t understand that there’s no way that they can get the clothes it’s clean as with the washing machine. Certainly they can invest in a couple machines.

This is just the problem. Most Indians are still poor. Only a very few have. I wouldn't go to Indian and who on earth would pay that amount of money for a property in India.
Rappers in India?!?
I wondered how is the rodent problem there.
That women seems like a drama-magnet. She describes more drama than ever happened to me and my girlfriend roughing it on trains for many months around India 40 years ago.
Yours 40 yrs ago so?
Some people are very rich, but the majority is still poor
yes they ‘re nice, but if you a woman do not go there or else.
Did the rich man come from a poor family ?
It’s funny but the people living there flout living in Dharavi as a Badge of Honour.
The rent in Mumbai is crazy can't even buy land because of high pricing. If they are happy then what's your problem

To the content provider. I am new to your channel. Thank you for letting the English speakers speak w/o voice over by voice actor on this one in contrast to however you had edited on some of your other videos. Also, I am not sure what the language you, the host, are speaking in, but My preference would be to hear your voice in it's native tongue with English subtitles. Generally I'd rather hear everyone's voice with subtitles. For that reason I did enjoy this video a bit more than your more recent China one where the English speaking China dude was voice overed by a voice actor's voice . Yep, just one person's opinion. Cheers sir!
