A dirty, unhygienic cluster of impoverished shanties with long lines of people crowding around a solitary municipal water tap, Bowling babies literally left on street corners to fend for themselves and endless cries and found voices emanating from various corners.
Most of them are engaged in eking out their daily lives always below the poverty line, by working as construction laborers, domestic helps, rag picker sand chhotus in neighborhood dhabas. In spite of poor conditions in slums, second generation residents who are not nostalgic about their rural background - feel that life in slum is reasonably tolerable and city life is probably better than rural life.
There are different levels of poverty. There is homelessness, in which the people have no money, home or belongings. There are also levels of poverty in which families are living paycheck to paycheck and backed up on several bills, in specific, utilities. They may not be able to afford food, heat or light for their home and kids, because their entire income goes towards paying the mortgage or rent and very little is available for other bills.
there was no space and they were given little or no food clothes and water. they were so croweded. people often died of starvation and the many disease passed around because they were given no medication. hope this helps :)
They live there because they cannot afford to live elsewhere, or because social divisions keep them from being able to move somewhere nicer.
