From Bombay to Mumbai to Slumbai

The city of Mumbai in India (previously known as Bombay)is the "proud" owner of the title "biggest slum of Asia". A staggering eight million Mumbai citizens live in slums around the city and 40% of policemen in fact live in slums. Politicians have taken advantage of these conditions to get votes which is disgraceful manipulation of the slum dwellers of Mumbai.
However, these citizens should be at part celebrated as they were resilient when their homes were destroyed and have now gone as far as to start rebuilding them!
