Dharavi Photo Essay


         Suffering or Shining Mumbai

The picture is between Sion and Matunga Station of Central Railway which is life line of Mumbai city. Right side of picture recorded largest slum in Asia that’s Dharavi. Left side is Middle class or upper class Residential area. There is out rightly class segregation or difference  we can easily see it one side of society is shining. Always they get all kinds  benefit but on the other side through they are the suffering people of this society but they are the pillars of the city , because of them city run proper manner. They are the real creator of society they are proud to be a Dharavikar. Despite of these what they get that’s question raise in mind.
              In right of the picture which is in Dharavi near railway track there is Dhobi Ghat, Dhobi its Hindi word known as the worker who is washing the cloth. After finish of washing, he has dying that cloth but he don’t have another space for dying so he use middle space two railway track as Natural Dying Machine.
              In Sion side there is three storage, four storage building which middle class colony in teraace of that is building   we can see the mobile satellite tower that means they are the modern  people. In other side we can find the Electric Tower which provide electricity to city
              But in Dharavi  side of are we can see one ground floor or maximum 1 or 2 storage slum some of them are pukka houses or some of them tin houses but they don’t get basic needs like good water sanitation. But in other side we can see its 24 hour water supply all kind basic sanitation provided by Municipal Corporation
              In the process of Globalization or Modernation all section of people should get equal benefit of city. But this bread butter only get  one section of people and that was upper class. It cannot reach last section of society. This indicates me city is shining in one side only
