- Asia's Largest Slum, India's Richest City | Mumbai: A Tale of Contrasts | Free Documentary
Extreme India - Cow Vigilantes, Disabled Dating & More: • Extreme India: Cow Vig...
It’s one of the most populous cities on the planet with 22 million inhabitants, predicted to increase to 30 million by 2035. Nicknamed ‘the infernal Metropolis’, Mumbai is a city in perpetual development. But with millions of people living in slums located on valuable real estate, how can city planners balance the competing needs of the population?
In Dharavi, the largest slum in Asia, over one million people are packed into the 2 km. slum. But although its residents are poor, there’s a real dynamism. Mahesh, 27, was born and lives in this slum and would never leave it. He runs a recycling plant and employs around 20 people. Dharavi’s underground economy is thought to generate 800 million euros per year. But it also lies on prime real estate in the very centre of Mumbai so its future is in doubt.
Every day, new towers of glass or concrete emerge from the earth. With the support of the municipality, real estate tycoon, Babulal Varma, razes slums to build luxury apartments for the upper classes. As the city constantly expands, it pushes into the surrounding forests and natural spaces, such as Sanjay Gandhi Park. The fifty leopards who live there regularly make forays into the new housing estates. They attack stray dogs, but also the inhabitants. Each year, several people are killed by feline attacks. At night, forest department rangers patrol to prevent leopard incursions.

I went to India in 1998. The population, slums, traffic, trains, etc. were shocking, to say the least. Seeing it in person will change you forever. My heart breaks for the impoverished people there. Despite all the craziness, most people were very kind. The food was amazing, and there was a lot of beauty, culture, and history to take in. Cheers to the man working on train safety and the leopard caretakers. I hope the big business stops forcing the slums encroachment into leopard territory ! ✌️ ☮️ 🇮🇳
My mouth dropped when that woman almost fell off the train 😮
These are the real problems of the common man in India. Literally, nobody cares about this BS Democracy vs Dictator debate. People want someone to solve the day-to-day problems they face; it doesn't matter even if it is solved by a so-called dictator.
More than a billion people are living there an still they're not capable of changing the government!!!
This is the Free Documentary style I fell in love with some years ago! This is raw, talented, amazing editing and storytelling, and most of all, traveling worldwide to tell a true story ... Keep up the amazing work, Free Documentary! 👍👍👍
Thank you - it’s really appreciated your comment 😊
Amen.
Very entertaining.
@@supremelyeducated3273 thank you. We really appreciate each comment 😃
I can smell the sweat through my computer monitor.
smells like a jar of open pickles, left in the summer sun, musty
When I flew over india to Australia you could smell armpit at 40,000 ft
Ugh! On the commuter train.
Underratted comment 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dude has 9 children and it’s the rest of the worlds problem that he lives in a 28sq m2 apartment… What did he think would happen? Don’t have 9 children if you don’t have the means…
It’s this way in so many countries that are all so darn poor! Why do they breed like that!
he missed his math classes.
But in all seriousness, I think he thought of his kids as an investment, but he forgot he needed capital to do so.
@@antaka503Kids are an investment in India?
@@LadieKadie they are indeed, they're his retirement...
Condoms are cheaper then Kids, but kids are a Joy for life. Speak for myself as a dad.
I couldn’t cope with that heat and packed in trains where people put their lives in danger, crazy.
If somebody got to fart😂😂 😂
@@prialara so funny 🤣
While it is not the responsibility or obligation of the rich to help the poor, it would be nice if they did. In a country where a wealthy businessman can spend 1 billion to build a mansion and 100 million can be spent on a wedding, the chasm between rich and poor is so wide.
The top 10 billion and trillionaires could, by their wealth alone, solve world hunger, water access and homelessness. Not to western standards of course but 99% of humanity could have adequate shelters, drinking water and a sustainable diet. Instead they fund wars, weapons and self-interest - who the hell really needs a $20+ million yacht or 42 luxury cars?
actually, it would be good if everyone could afford a decent home, decent food and education and not being hopeful some rich person will be charitable.
@@FreeDocumentary …in order to achieve that, they have to stop having children that they can’t adequately care for. Because the kids are the ones who suffer most.
@@johncbny Yes this is true but I hesitate to condemn people for having children because families and children have different statuses in different cultures. But I do get and understand your point.
@@johncbny They can't afford birth control or health care. People there die if treatable conditions because they can't afford the very expensive hospital care.
The current metro area population of Mumbai in 2024 is ~21,673,000 (as of posting this comment)
Holy cow 😮
Whoever you are, RIP pink shirt guy. Tragic 😭
But did they talk to you about your cars extended warranty while you was there 😂
How do three generations live in the same 300 square meter apartment? How do they have more children when they share this tight space?
Imagine how wonderful it smells in that train 😂

"people travel from around the world to visit the slums"
🍑
@@americannightmare2109 like why tf would anyone do that
I thought that! 7 people die a day?! Yikes
Lifelong dream of mine is to never visit India.
Only backpackers who travel on pennies visit india ! It’s a nasty place
How many scammers live there I wonder...🤔
Millions
😂😂😂😂
In the gulf states they need Laborer, streets sweepers, toilet cleaners. In Africa plantation workers and other menial jobs are paying better. Therefore these folks should be send to these countries to have a better salary and contribute to India economic growth.
In the gulf they are treated as slave labour and have their passports taken from them so they can't leave after months and years of not being paid. They are beaten and abused and kept in very poor overcrowded conditions. There are few if any safety conditions in their work places. In Dubai labourers fall from those tall buildings every day. They die of heat stroke and malnutrition and don't even have enough water to drink or bathe in. They often go without food.
Africa doesn't need menial or plantation workers as they're looking for their youth to leave too. That aside, Indians in Africa are living their best lives so should consider migrating there to invest
We already have millions of ruse scamming Indians living in africa and we don't anymore of them here!
To advance to an apartment from the slum is such an accomplishment ,hard work is usually not enough for these families, you dont hear them complaining like most ppl where i live
Developers are the same everywhere - here in Europe, they're "clearing" fields and parks, in Mumbay, they're "clearing" homes of the poor :I
There's enough resources for all humans to have basic needs but we're the most narcissistic and selfish species
Cut the birth rate
How about cutting the wealth inequality
Poor leopards.
The real slum lord! I met a man named Amit about 25 years ago and he told me that the people in India that could speak English in their call centers actually made more money than the doctors who lived there. That was unbelievable and sad.
I’m glad I don’t live there
You have no idea how lucky you are not to be born in one of these places. It’s like winning the birth lottery.
@@LadieKadiethat last sentence is so true. Western societies should be thankful for how lucky they are to have developed into what they are today
Yes but not only western societies are "lucky". 195 countries and alot are nice places I'm jealous of.
It was refreshing to hear from the corrupt developer how he is providing houses to the poor for free. Very inspiring.
It's quite funny that in documentaries set in India where Bollywood is mentioned, they often only showcase dance sequences from the film "Bride and Prejudice," even though it's not a Bollywood movie but rather a British-American production.
Pick pockets all over 😂😂
To put a plate on table in India it's not for the weak🤦
15:17 I can feel this man’s emotion and can relate. The only way to progress in life with dignity and be successful is thru hard work, with lots of determination and motivation. You are the only one who can make or break your future. I’m happy for his success.
Thanks Free Documentary for an extraordinary visit to Bombay! It truly is a wonderful place full of complexities, many happy people regardless of circumstances, and lots of love. For those who have not traveled there it is impossible to understand this city's beauty.
The websites that show the train deaths, the comments often refer to the trains as "apex predators"
Lmao, same as cars in America (not just the us)
Optimus prime train
lol dude out of thin air really asked his son "how are things in London"
India unable to provide transport for its population yet have space progtamme mind bogling sort out problem in your country first before venturing to space
50:10 where were her parents at the time of the attack?
p.s.: Lepared also has children who starved to death due to his absence
❤❤❤
The railway system is just a moving death trap and how people are packed in those carriages like animals with not one thaught about safety is just unbelievable 🥵. But i do have alot of respect for those that work so hard in life to achieve: From poverty to Rich and it does prove that those who want to achieve things in life can by getting up and working hard. Great Documentry, thanks for uploading it.
Those train rides are insane. 😱
God bless Indians 🙏
Who remain in india!
Its ok to build these high rise buildings, what happens to those people who was living in the slum?
They get free apartments, but they still complain about it 🙄
The rich is entitled because they pay for it but the poor is given free but still demand more . No surprise given more things it’s just an excuse for them to comfortably breed more. Besides giving them nice things are useless they won’t be appreciative and like they say u can’t get the slums mentality out of them
Help the poor 🙏
Rusuh sekali keluar keretanya 😮😮
So he destroys the slums and replaces them with high rises. Question: where do the people who live in that slum go?? Can they afford an apartment in this new tower?? The answer is NO. So where do they go...they move somewhere else and rebuild the slum. This country is a sespool and human rights nightmare. Class system is old and needs to be abolished. All Indians should have the same option.
The man clearly explains the scheme for the ppl in the slums 😂 this is how things work .. the worlds not fair Chad ! deal with it !! Worry about improving yourself first then go to Mumbai and do something about it or stop Bit**ing Chad 🤷😊😊
Apparently Chad hates watching videos longer than 2 min and didn't watch the whole thing. Like most kids with an attention problem he missed the whole part of relocating the family's into new houses. Maybe before criticizing and skimming videos, watch them first instead of people paraphrasing the video for you. - I know that's an insane concept to grasp.
Don't be like Chad.
@@kylejeffery4335 We are allowed to have an opinion whether you like it or not. Since when if empathizing with the poor "Bit**ing? Grow up.
@@Thehammm_exactly. If he paid attention for just a minute he'd hear the guy say that the slum people get free housing next to the high rise apartments
Mystic India , SEVEN daily railway Deaths , HIGH Mortality rate and with mighty reserve population of 1.2 Billions people TRIPLE by year 3000 & beyond.
Streetshitters paradise
13:32 Tourist price lmaooo
Which is actually still very cheap.
As a introvert combat vet with severe ptsd I would lose my mind there completely!😂
I wonder how soon we will see videos showing collapsing high rise apartments? Built fast and built cheaply
wow
The Developer from Rajastan looks Egyptian or Arabic ?? Or is that how a normal Persian will look like ??
If somebody got to fart😂😂 can you imagine in the train full people in high tempreture,,,😂😂
What happens to the poor people??? You can answer that yourself.... Still poor and thrown where the rich wants them thrown.
How can Hindi-language Bollywood exist in Mumbai even though Mumbai (Maharastra) speaks Marathi?
These are the mfs calling me aaking about my car's extended warranty........
And your student loans 😂😂😂
Acting like they have legit jobs on camera
" Accountant..."
and "windows security software" and whatnot 🙄😂
This people think the rest has to solve his problems be grateful they give you an apartment before you are sleeping on the floor on the slumbs and throwing the garbage on the rivers
This is "modernity"?
im pretty sure youve posted this alraeady
you couldn't pay me enough to live there for a day let alone permanently, surely there has to be a breaking point if a really bad epidemic struck there it would be curtains for them.
I'm sure if a thousand people died in one day you wouldn't notice. It cheapens life really...imagine how many babies die or are killed, etc.
AH BOMBAY/MUMBAI, where the planet's 💩flows to.
why did they interview the guy while his family is having breakfast? weird
It isnt the train operator's fault that people insist on hanging onto windows and putting THEMSELVES at risk. If they have to be told not to cling on half in and half out then they really must not care about there own lives .I WONDER HOW MANY OF THEM ACTUALLY PAY FOR TICKETS BECAUSE IMAGINE TRYING TO REMEMBER WHOS ALLREADY GIVEN YOU A TICKET AND WHO HASNT PAID YET .BY THE TIME YOU FIGHT YOUR WAY TO THE END OF A SINGLE CSRRIAGE THE PEOPLE WILL HAVE ALLREADY GOT OFF AT THEIR STOP. 😂😂
THIS WAS UPLOADED BEFORE SOMETIME LAST YEAR .I HATE REPEATS !! THEY SHOULD STATE THAT ITS BEEN REUPLOAD . 20 MINUTES IN BEFORE I REALISED I HAD ALLREADY WATCHED IT 😂😂
Me 5 mins in like I know I’ve seen this
many from bangladesh also live mumbai. in fact car & scooter repairing business r controlled by bangladeshis and rohingyas. drug business is controlled by afghans
18:50 the girl look like dad your lying its been less time, we just got the business 20 years ago lol
rwsinha, why does India send rockets to space, without solving the problems of poverty.
top 10 richest in India are worth 400 BILLION between them , they could end All slums
damn
Nobody could pay me enough to go there
Have been there And the people and food are great.
@@mcooper5929Yea right. So have I. Once was enough for me.
What about 1 trillion dollars. You telling me you wouldn’t go🤣
Armpit of the world.
@@shammyshammy407 Correct
Are they feeding the dogs to the leopard ?? I think that poor black dog was killed. What a wicked town. Humans have been invasive to the Natural habitat of these Wild creatures, also destroying Nature, mountains, polluting rivers, & competing, depleting their foods.
You need to develop more Cities outside of Mumbai and away from the forestry reserves, so poor people will find opportunities outside and not over-populate a limited land resource for humans & creatures.
Some people never blame themselves but others
Toronto Canada is starting to look like this unfortunately...
Can confirm, lived there for a while. Nice place but like UK it's being changed beyond recognition for the worst by governments pretending they're trying to control immigration whilst taking actions that encourage it. Wokeists are the useful idiots that enable it also.
@@10aDowningStreet "wokes are useful idiots" nothing more accurate could've been said. They will make western countries worse than third world ones
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I can smell this documentary
Why are you uploading the same videos with different titles?
a few years ago, China passed a law by which a family was not allowed to have more than 2 children. if India does not do the same, they will step on each other. it's about education.. knowing that you have no possibility to raise them, how can you have 10 children? they will end up as poor and without school as their parents.
9 kids?!? and he complains how they can not live like this?!? A tip is to have less kids in the first place. Less mouths to feed and then maybe Get a better home!
They don't have access to birth control and health care, which is very expensive there.
@@Juanita-gf4teok I see you commenting that everywhere but why tf don't they just get a PSA on the tv or pamphlets about not pumping out kids back to back, sex education could be free
Rabbits
@@Juanita-gf4teI would rather not marry or having sex than to have many kids and knowing that poor. These ppl are selfish, that's why.
Hindu people for you
Fascinating place to visit.
Cant some of those leopards be relocated to places where their endangered?
The problem with the poor. They complained alot. Like dawg.. why are you always blaming the government for u being poor? When poor became middle class to being rich. Thats because they knew the hardship, so they worked hard for it. So if opportunity comes , then grab it. And if they give you a free roof over your head you better be thankful, then work twice harder so u can get to the top, then educate those others and teach em how to appreciate whats given to them. Then pass it on to the next. Then everyone will live comfortably. U dint have to be rich, jbut just a comfort homes.
Where is the gov!
Could they at least make double decker trains
How does the population of one country balloon to such astronomical level? No birth control? I can almost smell the spice odours and sweat through my screen.
I ❤ India , no place is perfect . See how they all get along ? Its an interesting and mysterious, beautiful continent. I would love to see its wonders in person , alas i am never going to, so i can at least see , watch and pray for all 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
India 🇮🇳 is a country not continent
Well damn this is horrible trying to catch a train like this with all those smelling people in the train..
There will always be poverty, there will always be slum areas, it’s happened for hundreds of years,we didn’t stop it then and we won’t stop it now even in 2024 it’s what man does because we can’t help ourselves.
Sure way to earn a living....make a video about the Indian slum!! And show them in bad light!!
And some say that we needs to make more babies,don't think so.
Seems like a great place to live 🤦🏽♂️
Wtf????
Why don't they buy more coaches
how many people die because of train accident? Train is running but door open
Repeat!
At the risk of sounding pretentious Maybe they should start with the little things . Maybe its not in their culture to just pick up the trash in your yard but it should be . People just toss their garbage where ever. They just step over litter. Make a point of keeping your spot clean and the rest will follow.
Old upload
oh no, that's terrible! Are you gonna demand a refund? 😧

The richest family in town resides in a 250-square-meter home. They have their own staff to attend to their needs. While they live in a rather stylish house, they prefer to eat with their hands instead of using knives and forks.
That is a tradition thousands of years old......do you eat burgers with a knife and fork? Hotdogs? Sandwiches?
@@Juanita-gf4te Sure, I do.
If I'm not mistaken, millennia ago, it was common for people to hunt animals using stone axes and other ancient weapons. Some things should be upgraded.
Lol
@@connormcload9091 Why should they? I was married to a Hindu and lived in his world for 7 years. I learned to eat with my hands and the food tasted much better, without a mouthful of steel. Our kids ate that way too. Later when I returned to NZ I found it hard to use a knife and fork again, it spoiled the taste of the food.
@@Juanita-gf4te It's quite shocking that you even ask why. But since you did, I'll answer. The reason surgeries aren't done in hospitals with kitchen knives or other primitive tools, and why normal civilized folks use flush toilets and running water, is hygiene. Hygiene is key, and eating with your hands is basically stomping on hygiene with your feet. The fact that I had to explain this is just appalling.
I think I have an idea of where glitter comes from
Mica is mined in India - that’s correct
Babu lal is driving out slum dwellers. Shame on him
Zero reason for this level of penny pinching on public transit. Holy cow man, pardon the pun.
