>When Mr. Vajapayee team was in Lahore the only big query they had was where are the people sleeping on roads like Calcutta and Bombay they thought they have been brought to Lahore Fort through VIP areas, I told them that the inner city is the poorest district where we are right now, I did report it that they were just shocked,>

No point comparing Lahore with Bombay and Calcutta. Compare Punjab on the Pakistan side with Punjab on the Indian side. Do you see a lot of poverty in Indian Punjab or Haryana?

And Bombay's situation is simply because of its success and not its failure. The rural landless can get a job in Bombay. And that's why they arrive in hordes. The property prices in Bombay are comparable to Tokyo, Hong Kong, New York and London. That creates a particular housing problem. Any housing is difficult to afford. I admire Bombay. Bombay is the most cosmopolitan city in India. Bombay works. It has a professional culture even at the street vendor level.
