Another Mumbai

July 25, 2006

Justin Huggler follows the slum trail in Mumbai for The Independent:

At one point, we come to a street that is flooded, with sewage floating on the surface of kneedeep monsoon rainwater. Sunil skips nimbly down it along bricks and old plastic buckets the locals have left as stepping-stones, gesturing for us to follow. Then, abruptly, we turn a corner and we are in the light again, the other Mumbai, the world of cars and permanent buildings and money, and the slum is just a wretched huddle of huts behind us.
