India razes slums, leaves poor homeless
- kingkongrevenge 18y agoIt's like those scenes from The Grapes of Wrath, but in color!
- sarvesh 18y agoThis is not uncommon in big Indian cities. The slums are usually in government property and they don't seem to care about it until a they want to sell it off to private companies. Neither is it uncommon for government to take back the land that was granted to poor farmers years ago. Those lands usually end in the names of powerful politicians who then turn them away to private interests for profit. India is not very different from China in some respects.
