The best Indian cities are over 60 percent slums and the rest of India, please read on.

This is Bombay where 60 percent live in slums

Urban planners say that the makeover will only happen if the government builds new homes to house 7.5 million of the city’s 12 million people who live in slums - that’s more than 60% of the population.

And the rest of small town India.

If Mumbai looks bad you only need to drive through the featureless ugliness of small town India to see that it is a beautiful city compared to the small towns that have come up in more recent times.

Oh yes exactly for this reason we would like a dictator to be in Delhi who could go out ruthlessly cleansing every city of Slums. Perhaps that is what made china so successfull. To take decisions without having to worry about of being voted out in the next election.
