Photo Essay: India’s Real-World Slumdogs By Preeti Aroon On the right track?: People cross railway tracks in Dharavi on Feb. 2. For the time being, the proposed redevelopment has been stalled by the global financial crisis, bad press, and local protests. Will Mumbai officials heed the will of the residents of Dharavi, many of whom are proud of their community? As one told Time, “We did this. No government, no rich people, no charity. Just poor people, working hard.” There’s hope: As Slumdog Millionaire showed, sometimes, through street smarts and scrappiness, the underdog can indeed win. Photo: Daniel Berehulak/Getty Images

Slum dwellers who meet certain requirements would be relocated to sparkling-new 225-square-foot apartments in high-rises, complete with toilets. Many Dharavi residents are very resistant to the plan. Sprawling cottage industries, artisans’ workshops, and recycling centers can’t be neatly repacked into vertically stacked 225-square-foot boxes. Relocation would rip the social fabric of cohesive communities. Above, Dharavi residents shout antigovernment slogans during a protest on June 18, 2007. Photo: PAL PILLAI.AFP/Getty Images

Photo Essay: India’s Real-World Slumdogs By Preeti Aroon Dirty work: A man washes himself at his home in Dharavi on April 5, 2008. In some parts of Dharavi, there is one shared tap for every 10 homes; in other parts, almost every home has a jerry-rigged tap. Often, taps have run for just an hour a day, and additional water, brought in on tankers, must be purchased. Sanitation is also a problem, with only one toilet per 1,440 people. Some areas have latrines that can be used for a fee: 1 rupee (2 cents) for a single use or 30 rupees (62 cents) for a monthly family pass. Photo: Uriel Sinai/Getty Images
