| सारांश: | Mumbai, one of the grand, glitzy and global capitals of India, is often known as ‘slum-bai’ to its inhabitants. The city is home to Dharavi, Asia’s largest slum, and numerous other illegal settlements. This portrait traces the life of an impoverished rural migrant, Sumitai, living in one of these slums. She discovers how living with a semblance of dignity, support and comfort, and imagining a better life for her daughter in a peripheral urban colony requires her participation in local vigilante action promoted by an aggressive right-wing political party. |
