A place far away from the city chaos filled with the joy and aroma of its own thrives me to pen drown the memorable experience of the visit to this place.This is a place quite different from the other city
dwelled slums.At first sight it looked quite untidy with garbage all around their surroundings and had all signs that an Indian slum is thought to possess.Walking through the streets of the slums and looking around the place caught my sight to a small school where few children with slates in their hands were eagerly waiting for the teacher to come.Their interest to learn was clearly visible in their eyes which had some magical spark,after waiting for a while the teacher came with books in her hand and started the days class .Moving further ahead I entered into an old market which had almost all the goods ranging from vegetables to household necessities,this market was quite different from the ones which in a way that it had all types of stores merged in a small yard of space this was an example of an effective way of utilisation of the space,a cute example of 'juggad ' Indians are famous for.Life at these slums is very different and difficult from the modernised cities which have every facility to ease the living of a common man but the ease of living degrades as we move downwards to the less improvised slums of dadri where lifestyle of living has not improved much.The main reason of low rate of improvement of this place,on talking to people of these slums turned out to be the growing number of illiterate people and less educational opportunities.Education was the major concern raised by many people due to lack of resources as they find themselves trapped in the vicious cycle of the society and a problem that the Indian society faces i.e rich gets even richer and the poor gets even poorer.
After the visit to this lost world of little hearts filled with many desires yet to be fulfilled opened my eyes to this crude reality that the majority of the slums in India are in one or other way trapped in the vicious cycle of greedy people who make them vulnerable and make their existence under serious threat.We as the responsible citizens of the society have to initiate a process of growth among these people and make them aware of the various policies that our government has initiated for their improvement and help them to fruitfully use them to get out from this vicious cycle of greedy and rancour people who coexist in this diverse Indian society.
