"India's first news magazine by and for slum dwellers"
"Indian slum-dwellers given voice"
By Habib Beary
BBC correspondent in Bangalore

successfully running India's first news magazine about slum-dwellers.
"Slum Jagathu", or Slum World, a monthly, focuses on life in overcrowded
and neglected settlements, where most of India's urban poor live.
"It is not just a magazine. It is a voice echoing the struggle of
slum-dwellers," says Isaac Arul Selva, editor and publisher, himself a
school drop-out.
"Our ultimate aim is to inspire a movement to fight for our basic rights
and amenities."
