Re: [Pen-l] moving up the value Chain in China?



You know I was in India when this movie was in the news.  I haven't seen it but from the limited pictures of Dharavi slum in the various clips, I would say yes.  I last went to Mumbai in 1999 during the monsoon.  I was staying at an academic outfit, which was an oasis in the middle of scum (literally).  Boy was I depressed!  But Mumbai is witnessing massive projects, from highways to bridges and the like with tens of thousands of rural workers engaged in this activity.  I plan to work with a photojournalist on a book project with such images illustrating changing India.

Cheers, Anthony

Speaking of India, is the picture of Bombay/Mumbai presented in "Slum
