Solo In India's Famous Slum 🇮🇳

- I vistited one of the most famous slums in the world, Dharavi. I got warned not to go there without a tour guide but I wanted to get the authentic experience and it certainly lived up to my expectations.
Dharavi is a locality in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, considered to be one of Asia's largest slums. Dharavi has an area of just over 2.1 square kilometres and a population of about 1,000,000. With a population density of over 277,136/km2 , Dharavi is one of the most densely populated areas in the world.

#mumbai #dharavi #dharavislum
I've been getting negative comments about why I am going to slums and “promoting India as a poor country” so I'm going to explain here why I do it and maybe some of you will understand. Even though Ironically I've filmed 4 videos showcasing Modern Mumbai (Taj Palace, Phoenix Mall, Marine drive and Imagica theme park) but people are saying I only films slums. My channel is based on OFF THE BEATEN PATH travel destinations not upper class neighbourhoods and shopping malls.
1) I go to these places because they are the best places for content, they have the most interesting and kind people who love to be on camera, often when I go to the nice areas in the city I get stopped for filming (it happened at Taj Palace, Every shopping mall and every theme park i went to) or people just camera shy and its really not engaging. I am not promoting India as a poor country at all, I'm showing interesting content that is very unique to this city, and throughout this video you may see how I positively showcase this slum as a producer of many useful goods and services aswell as generally a happy place.
2) I go to these places because they are so different to everything I've ever known, I could drive 10 mins from my home in the UK and visit a boring modern shopping mall, but can I visit an area where 1 millions people live together in 2 square miles? This is so fascinating to me and I thoroughly enjoyed my time here.
If you have any constructive criticism to say please email me at contact@harryjaggard.com and I will gladly take it on board but to just say Im promoting India as a poor country is absolutely false.
loving the videos Harry, Keep up the good work, from a fellow Brit!! cold here today!
You can’t please everyone bud, the more views you get the more negative comments you will get! Atleast it looks like the positive outweighs the negative :) There will always be people who want to find a reason to be negative, any person with half a brain can see that you’re just trying to spread positivity and show people another side of life they might not have seen
As you always say, the positive always outweighs the negative. The modernized areas people are usually more prone to sticking to there own life and there is always security reasons due to which we have restrictions. The areas visited where we have although poor or menial wage workers we can find happiness, welcoming spirit, love and peace and just engaging in a simple conversation makes them happy. Keep up the good work and enjoy your stay in India. You can't make the hyper nationalist happy all the time. Hoping you reach out to more and more people with your humility and jovial character.
No need to justify, India has 1.4 billion people with good number of hyper nationalists. You can't make everyone happy. We in India are used to hearing hundreds of opinions so ignore the negative comments and travel wherever you want just stay safe. No need to go to modern places just for the sake of pleasing a small section of your viewers as majority of us love original content and not sugarcoated. Love from India.
Edit : Please pin your comment.
Ignore the negativity buddy ✌️ Your doing great & continue your vlogs 🤝 love from Chennai 🇮🇳 Pin your comment in your post👍
Harry dont apologise for anything, a certain section of society is permanently offended by everything and they like to ruin normal life for everyone else, you are a polite respectful young man and your videos are excellent
Thanks mate! very kind of you, means alot to me
Its ok slums are every where even in new york city show that too
Offended is not the right word. Tired is. Slum tourism is a foreigner's thing. Mostly western ones at that. They come and then we hear about cliche lines that's the real India as if unless rest of us too live in slums, we are not real. Followed by how they are happier and some customary lines with some changes..
So slum tourism stereotypes India. At the same time it also stereotypes foreigners for Indians. Foreign tourists are offered slum tours arranged by people in the business. It's ironic sometimes, some times annoying, and sometimes insert eye roll moment. Hey a new alien landed in slums - flew thousands of miles to experience it. Congratulations!
Best of all he didnt walk around with a Diaper on his face.
The Hawk's Eye You have a point. But not sure what to think about this... in the Philippines, the cheesy vloggers who go to the slums to exploit the poor are just on a whole new level of cringe.
That uncle ji that you bought the hat from warmed my heart… very honest, kind and god fearing man…🙏🏽
I thought the same too. He is not getting enough credit on the comments just because he is a Muslim i suppose.
@@luigihatesyou4217 very true.
India used to be a very diverse secular place. But right now it is quite religiously polarized because of hindutwa.
The genuine reactions from the children says it all and sums it all that happiness is not defined by the amount of money in one's hand.
A Rich experience for the viewer. There is a great message in this vlog that really connects in more ways than one. Nice work Harry!
thanks alot Maz, you got it right exactly, alot of lessons to be learnt from places like these
@Harry Jaggard Thank you Harry for a genuine unbiased vlog. Poverty is nothing to be ashamed of. What matters is the state of mind of an individual. One can be poor but be blessed with the mindset of a Billionaire in simple terms. Sometimes kindness is found where there is the least. Many positives from your vlog.
Rich people dont care about happiness! Only the middle classes were brainwashed to pursuit happiness so they can be kept as slaves for all eternity.
That's where white people get it wrong
We Indians r just happy to be acknowledged on cameras
They were abusing harry and they are happy till they are child.
You're a breath of fresh air for indian vlogs, your energy is unparalleled and your attitude towards locals is great.. Having a blast watching these videos.
13:35 rare to see such honest man in this times! ♥ From Karnataka 🇮🇳
Magarmach dikhane or khane alag dat hota hai 😤
most of the people who live in the slums of the big cities in India are the migrants from small villages. they all have their houses In the villages. they live in the slums because of the low rent. if they start earning more in the cities then they move to bigger homes.
interesting i never knew this
@@harryjaggardtravel yes he is right
It's great to wander around and explore different areas and I'm glad I can see these places through your videos! Keep safecant wait for more!
thanks alot priya!
Don’t worry about those criticizing you about visiting slums Harry. Do what you feel is right for you and what you want to experience. These videos are interesting and immersive and that’s what matters most. Cheers brother
thanks kardoso for the kind words
Iam from Sri Lanka
And I love India Cultures
And Indian Peoples
❤️😍
Thank you love sri Lankan brothers and sisters may god bless you 😊
Dude, Sri Lanka peoples are all indian origin . The Buddhists went from Bihar orissa Andhra area 2000 years back. Tamils are very close and they they were going for long time 😮
Hey Harry, I am fine with you showing slums of India but don't promote it as touristic place. You should not romanticize poverty and misery! Its most cruel condition to live in. Its okay to record it for your content but do not present it as if a poster image of India. It's simply not true. Majority of indians are middle class and do not live in slums.
I don't think he has done that. He is just showing the positive side of slum life. Most of us think that slums mean poverty , misery, and filth everywhere. But there is more to it that doesn't quite meet our eyes. And that was his intent behind showing Dharavi . I hope I am right , Harry. You can correct me if I am wrong.
Slum tourism is a thing. There India trip is not proper if they missed the real India and only saw rest of us that are fake. It's ironic... such tourism stereotypes both- India for them. And them for us. We are like now next trip this vlogger will make will be to the local slum..
@@thehawkseye3412 not really. Slums exist in every part of the world from Hong Kong to Honolulu , from Montevideo to Mongolia, from Rio to Riyadh . However, Mumbai's slums offer a unique perspective as they are not very far removed from the more 'civilised and advanced world' as you like to call it. In Mumbai, a swanky skyscraper is right next to a slum dweller's shanty standing in middle of a garbage and refuse, sometimes having a squat toilet clogged with fecal matter and dirt. This is what most foreigners find extraordinary. Now even in Muscat or Mombasa you won't be able to find a slum that's opposite an imposing glass and steel facaded structure.
@@MrAgolikeri Thanks for the sales pitch for slum tourism. So what's shining about delhi slum tour packages?
@@thehawkseye3412 you know better i guess , it wasn't a sales pitch but personal observation. You may have something else to offer ;)
Fantastic video Harry! One of the best I have seen on India. I am going back for my 6th trip this November I am super impressed at your attitude and all around solo navigation this being your first trip. Keep the videos coming!!!
17:29 very sad moment 😔
FYI: There is no 'Mens Only" car. It is a Common car for both genders.
Hey Harry , welcome to Mumbai , best thing about life is to be proud and accept what u have , yes Mumbai has the biggest Slum in Asia and it has its own issues but it also has a vibrant economy of it's own , which indicates people work very hard to make a living, that hair cut of yrs looks really great , and believe me from all the people you dealt with nobody ripped u off being foreigner , which speaks volume of their character , continue to show India the way you do. Loads of love from Mumbai , and a proud Indian ❤️
Just amazing footage Harry, and very humbling. I love how you treat everyone you meet with respect and kindness. The resilience and innovation of the people to not just survive but to thrive in such an impoverished environment, and the sense of community that obviously exists just blows me away. Thanks so much for taking us along. The smiles of the children will stay with me for a long time. Maybe after seeing you some of them will be inspired to become future CZcamsrs?! 😄
thanks so much! so kind, yes the people there should be very proud of themselves and i think some of them will have a bright future, very happy people aswell!

Dear Harry
Just half way thru the clip and writing this epistle..so I may not forget my observations :
1. U r so o o o popular among the kids 😀
2. U r making good choices as where to say NAMASTEY n ASSALAM O ALAIKM almost 80% correct ... Nice hearing ALLAH HAFIZ ( meaning GOD B WID U )
3. U were respectful while mentioning LADIES n their HARD WORK 👍
4. Great uncle jee who sold u the cap Just for 80 /- rupees n also politely refused to take any extra .. Great Indian 👍
5. Very friendly neighbourhood.
Clip going amazing ..... 👏
So I go back to the remaining half ... TC 🙂
thanks alot Azam for the kind words and obervations, it means alot that you take the time to comment on each specific part of the video
Your way of explaining things is very nice! God bless!
The people Are just so beautiful. My heart goes out to them and wish them the best always. Beautiful video Harry and the people are so friendly amazing and loving. It's just so beautiful in so many ways.
thanks so much man! The were so happy and good to me there I would honestly go back in a heartbeat
Hey Harry it's great that you managed to show both the sides of Mumbai in a comprehensive and unbiased manner. As a Mumbaikar and as an Indian it is heartening to see the balanced nature of your videos unlike some of the others from your country. However just a reminder : this is probably the last you would see Dharavi as a slum as it is all set to change. By the next 5 years if you visit Dharavi you would be surprised to see that it will be transformed into a modern state of the art township with refurbished architecture and better amenities as the government is closely working on cluster redevelopment of the entire area. Already some of the land has been acquired and construction is expected to start in a few months. Mumbai City itself will wear a totally new and modern, sleek look in a couple of years time when South Asia's biggest underground Metro opens in Mumbai by 2024. There is a lot of work which is still in progress in this city and lot of it yet to start for expansion and modernization. Also a reason why you may have noticed that the city resembles some kind of a huge construction site.
thanks Akhil i really appreciate this, so interesting to hear that the dharavi will no longer be a slum and its very exciting to hear about the metro, i would love to visit when this is done
Actually its real Mumbai Indian media doesn't show this side of india harry you did it great 👍
Agreed it's Real but these slums are depleting fast...Mumbai soon will be one of the most luxurious cities of Asia
Oh Pakistani 😂😂 tumhe pata hai Mumbai kaisa hai ya tumhare fake media ko aur ye Mumbai ka poor area hai
Real Mumbai tumne dekha na toh tum pakistanio ki eyes bahar aa jayengi 😂😂
Lol 😂 everyone show poor part of Mumbai you Pakistani r mad
Thanks for showing all of India not just the beautiful beaches in kerala or goa or nice 5 star hotels. Viewing from Portland Oregon USA
Brother no one would be offended if you visit slums . You can go everywhere and can show everything
Your welcome 🙏❤️
Very very appreciative job Harry.. keep it up 👍🏼.. whatever u spoke bout Dharavi is absolutely true.. I'm a resident of Dharavi since 30 years ...Indian government always fails 2 abolish d slum..U are d best vlogger 4 me , gentle and kind man..b blessed 🙌🏼 .. let's hope 4 sucessful Dharavi City plan in future ..
❤️❤️❤️🇮🇳Dharavi....
Great insight on the slums of Mumbai, have heard about it read about it was sure nice to see your outlook of the place. I really enjoyed this thank you
but my point is why to focus on the other countries poor side , specially it is caused by Western people only. hight of hypocrisy. you should focus on your hypocrite nature first than commenting on other way of living
Yes , u r most polite foreign blogger I have ever seen . U just need not apologize coz u r not criticizing , u r just showing life . N most who understand English feel same as you do about dharavi n about huge social divide . We feel lucky we r not at the other end . Living in Mumbai n traveling home every day by train n crossing sion railway station ( dharavi is walkable from sion as u know) we ( the economically better Mumbai people) could never miss their struggle to survive , same as we felt in crowded trains
13:35 best part of the video. Not letting you overpay. What a kind man!🤗
It's Rs.5 there and it's 25 rs (Indian Rupees) here in Sri Lanka. That literally sums up our economical situation here 🙃
Fuck bro hold your cash in crypto stablecoins or gold
Lots of love from Sri Lanka🇱🇰
You are very friendly and open minded😊🇮🇳
Thank you for this Harry . It is a fascinating place that I will never manage to get to now.
As an indian, dharavi is not a slum its a village where everyone do hardwork.
Slum isn't technically a negative word... People just take it as a negative term. 🙄
They are happy.
Harry. You put in some very nice words towards the end. Essentially saying don't take things for granted in life. Appreciate what we think we are entitled to. Wish most of us would think that way everyday. Would probably see a whole lot of less complaining then. Thank you.
thanks alot yes be happy with what you have got

I am also from India any part of the video don't seems to criticize India as a poor country ...some people of India is actually poor but they rich with their hearts
Luv u herry🚩🚩🚩
15:48 that uncle said that you are a very good person
Its good youre showing all sides of India. Plus all your other trips are very diverse with regard to all to the people youve come across. Keep up the good work !
You are great person bro.... thanks for exploring the great country india... happy journey
Beautiful content Harry Sire 👌 This is the side of India I love to see. And you are right, seeing this part of any country is an eye opener as to what's important in life. Count your Blessings. Real hardworking people. Pleasantly surprised to see some cobblestone streets. Yes 😊 you had to get a haircut. India is definitely a unique country. ❤ Stay safe Harry Sire. Can't wait to see which part of India you are going to be next. 🙏❤
thanks alot for the long comment! very humble and kind people, thanks for your support

@@harryjaggardtravel a little soho is also at dharavi when you visit there next do shot
Looking forward to seeing india I'll be filming there in June to show the real india any recommendations guys let me know pls
Most beautiful station. ❤️.
Great shopkeeper.
I don't think it should be called a slum, just over populated old city. People are extremely nice and friendly.
i agree, and yes they were so nice
I was gonna do a barber shop
Comment but
I think I’m just gonna say
Those that feel Harry is promoting
India as poor
Need to watch all his vlogs
I’ve been to India
A few times
And I love it there more than the uk
All the countries in Far East Asia
Are fabulous
And
We all have our depraved areas and homeless people and beggars
It’s not just in the east
We have them
In the west too
Good one H
Looking forward
To doing a better comment tomorow bro 🙏🏻👏👍
no problem chilton, thanks for watching as per usual and yes we have plenty in the uk
The beauty is in the chaos I’m addicted to watching vlogs in India, they work together like no other country.. even in the dirtiest of parts they are filled with so much love
3:50 8 to 10 people out of 1.4 billion people in train accident good job India. Streotype: Indian trains has overhead wires which carry 1000 of volts of current. So it’s not possible to sir on roof of Indian train. People saw videos from bangladesh and pakistan and thought this is India.
Great video, Harry! I've recently subscribed and am truly enjoying your travels, particularly in India! At 32:50mins in, you were talking how in Dharavi, there are a multitude of religions, all living together peaceably. Just as you were wondering if there were any Christians there, along your left side, in one of the buildings was a large white cross at what appeared to be an altar! You couldn't have timed it better than that! From NYC.
Don’t worry about it. Few years ago when we were in Mumbai, taxi driver took us there, he said it was tourist attraction because of the movie Slumdog Millionare.
Waaau this was amazing!!!i like ur speak in their language!I like ur videos.
Harry i love ur India vlogs, but its true usually foreigners love to show the poor, crowded side of India. Sometimes i feel like they don't wanna see the good side because they want them to look better than India.
India is a land of diversity, such rich culture & history, and many nice places to see also. I, myself a non Indian would love to see the best, the good, beautiful side India has to offer too lol not just dirty area & poor people. Beautiful places like Leh Ladakh, the northern hill stations, natural beauties of northeast, turquoise beaches of Lakshadweep & Andaman Islands, ancient India engineering marvels of temples, etc get ignored too much.
for sure these places also need to be seen i couldnt agree more!
Hi Harry Machang, Thanks for taking us to Dharavi slums. I have been to Mumbai few times but I didn't had an opportunity to go there. May be I was afraid. Actually it is better than I thought. People looked nice and relaxed without any arrogance. Particularly I liked the school children. They looked very nice and refine. I am sure that they will have a great future which is good for India.
it was safe for me and i would recommend it!
@@harryjaggardtravel Are you guys absolutely dumb, that's neither a tourist place nor a zoo of humans
The total annual turnover has been estimated at over US$1 billion. a slum but a billion dollar economy
so interesting
@@harryjaggardtravel yes nas daily vlogger video shows that too
8 days in real india is the video title.
Such a humble boy
Harry ❤️
Dont apologize to anybody as long as you are doing the right thing. Just take care of yourself and stay safe and healthy. we will always support your channel. 😍✌👍🙏🙏🙏🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I think the part you visited seemed to be mostly the Muslim community. Am assuming they all live in their particular communities. The place seemed very busy and commercialised rather than seeing their living accommodations. Very interesting Vlog. The people were amazing and seemed really friendly. Loved the shop keeper only wanting the price if the cap, just showed they may be poor but proud people.
1. You must visit the Magnificent Forts and Palaces of Rajasthan. You can't find those in Europe.
2. Natural beauty and backwater of Kerala (God's own country).
3. Ellora Temple( The largest monolithic temple ,chiselled from top to bottom , in India)
4. North East India
5. Andaman and Nicobar Islands ( One of the world's best beaches is here)
6. Himachal Pradesh and J&K( Beautiful Himalayan Sates)
7. Temples of Southern India.
8. GOA. The party capital of the Subcontinent.
thanks for the recommendations!
Wonderful video love Darvi people, so friendly and affectionate. Full of happiness you won't get in queens palace
13:29 uncle ji earned my respect
Good video! Better to have nothing and be happy than to have everything and be unhappy. The ppl seem happy there.
Great travelogue through India's famous slum! The place most definitely would never be on a travel agency's itinerary. So without your video, many would never see the place! Thank you. Did you notice, yes, it may be a slum and the majority of people living there may be poorer than dirt. However, an important point: you weren't accosted, robbed or otherwise bothered by the people living there! On the contrary, they were extraordinarily nice and pleasant - just regular people like you and I. It goes to show that, and not to generalize, but just because they may be lacking in monetary means, they're certainly not without their morality and moral standards. Sometimes you can learn quite a bit, from just a short half hour travelogue, such as this one! Thank you for that.
15:47 in background the tea seller is saying
Good, goodMan(referring you)
I don't get to meet such people very often.
If Harry reads this comment then it will definitely make him happy 😊❤️
17:04 That "ae lodu" 😂😂😂
It's not practically a slum it's like a small village inside a big city

Keep it up brother,
lots of love from Himachal, INDIA
this reminds me of favelas here in brazil like in rio de janeiro
I've seen this happen a lot. Some of the salty comments may not from Indians themselves, but from neighbors with
fake accounts(yes it happens), but there are good ones too. You were nice and polite to people and no condescending attitude like Baldr in some of his videos.
there are 280,000 homeless people living in UK. that too after the country looted more than 50 trillion USD in today's value during its rule in India before which India was the richest country in the world. please show their living conditions too.
The UK looted more than just the country of India. Wherever they colonized, including the U.S. It’s why they have the richest area, the “City of London”. Also, Look up 5 worst atrocities committed by the British Empire.
same story everywhere, the small percentage of rich people in every country hoarding all the money and resources while others suffer.
someones done their homework!
Citation please, how did they come up with figure 50 trillion, and how it was "looted." Yes, there is poverty in UK too, but right now,, Harry is presenting a scope here. Please no need for taking it personal
@@mysteriousjz it's all fake propooganda figures with no evidence to claim their base, they won't count the amount of technology british gave from trains, airplanes, administrative system, 1935 act which is their 70% of current Constitution, to communication system postal to telephone and reunification of india, they also removed social deformities from sati to child marriages and the list goes on.
Then they should pay patent for each technology and methods which values more than 1000 trillion dollars in current value.
If I said I am gonna comeback i gonna comeback loved that ...love from India🇮🇳🇧🇲
Harry, Don't bother about these negative comments...You are here because you're doing better than them..Why should someone Vlog the modern side of a city/country throughout as if there is no such place like this...You guys hiding places like this ? 👀
Harry Machan showed a low middle class neighborhood in Sri Lanka but none of the Sri Lankans triggered..

thanks so much bro INSHALLAHHHHHH
What a brilliant video Harry!! Just love watching u 👍 keep up the amazing work 👏 🍺🇬🇧
thanks alot Alistair!
Very interesting video! Thanks!
Awesome video❤❤❤
It's a self-contained slum community I love the train station. Pity they don't care much about cleaning up the surroundings. How hard is it to clean and make it more pleasant?
You can eat in slum if food is extremely hot and don't drink water
Housing: "Virtually all housing has been constructed illegally, and is extremely crowded and small. Up to 5 people sleep in each tiny bedroom. But Dharavi is not only squalor." But you can buy a house there too. Rent can be as low as 3£ per month. Electricity is often illegal. But there is also this: "With a 69% literacy rate, Dharavi is known to be the birthplace of great innovation and entrepreneurship. This region is home to 5000 businesses owned by the inhabitants and 15,000 single-room factories, as well as a centre for the production of fast fashion companies like Zara, H&M, Giorgio Armani and more."
You missed out on the home industries in Dharavi. It is a major supplier and exporter of leather products and other products like ready made garments, engineering goods, etc. You should check out the video made by 'India In Details' about Dharavi Slums, which tells about the difference in slums in India compared to slums in USA and Europe. Because you would definitely not have visited the slums in Europe and USA, you would be definitely surprised by the video.
Loved this video! Please go back and film some more here! love your vlogs
Hi karina
From your vlog, the area does not seem to be risky at all.....looks like residential area of working class.... Even in India people have the wrong idea about the area
I honestly love your videos Harry..forget about the negative comments..you cannot please everyone and they will never understand..one thing I will said is you just love touring around and you are just curious what is the life of people in India..whether in a village..in a slum..in a middle class or tourist spot..when you are a travel bloggers you really have to explore everything..what is important that India is beautiful people and they are so friendly..and I love how you interact with them despite of their status in their life..you are very humble and down to earth 🙏❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏
thanks daniel thats so kind of you to stick up for me and say these kind words!
1. In the local trains, there's only separation for women. The other compartment is general both men and women can get inside. 😎
2. Sugarcane juice is naturally extremely sweet. It does have an earthy taste to it too. Maybe the folks added some spices like Rock salt / Himalayan salt and jalgira and ginger because most of them do that in Mumbai. The same spices are added to the lemon juice you had on the street when you went with those teens to Dhobi ghat.
3. Dharavi in the 18th century was sparsely populated and predominantly a mangroove swamp with few fisherfolks. Later in British era, they moved the local tanner's and folks from Hindu and Muslim community that were into leather work. Also some potters from Gujrat and Artisans from UP to Dharavi that's the reason we have an informal economic growth from this area till date. The municipal corporation is doing its best to do redevelopment and get these dwellers into apartments. Dharavi has mix population of Hindus, Muslims, Christians. I don't know if there is any other religious minorities here.
On a side Note: We do get good leather bags in Dharavi. It would be better than going and buying Louis Vuitton, Picket or Alder. The bags can range from Rs 1000 onwards. I have bought a few.
Animal activists please don't kill me for buying leather bags!! 😅😅
wow this is super interesting, thanks so much for sharing all of this! One of the most interesting places ive been to in a while
Oh yeah sugarcane juice. i tried it in Gujarat. they mixed it with a bit of salt and ginger. Very good and cheap. Rs 20.
Hey Harry.. your videos are simply spectacular ...I admire your views & kindness towards people... your videos are full of entertainment & many things to learn from it too.
Namasté 🙏 & lots of love n respect from India 💙
I heard Dharavi will be redevelop..the work will gonna start within 3 months, is that right?
Bro

I think that Maharashtra government has already decided to building new for people who is living in slump area in Maharashtra government. Bu the people in this area was refused to move others from here.i have to say that mumbai corporation should modernize this slump area. Mumbai corporation is richest corporation in India so they can build it
