After spending time in the posh southern tip of the city, around the Gateway of India and Marine Drive, it is easy to forget about 60% of the citizens of Mumbai who live in slums and Dharavi, with a population of at least half a million, probably has become the most famous one of them, especially after the success of the movie “Slumdog Millionaire”.
