Homeless in India

I’m annoyed that I felt the need to comment on those crappy articles at all. But tripe like this is easier to swallow than living conditions in India. There were many who criticized the film Slumdog Millionaire for its depiction of the country at large but there are many for whom slum-life is a daily reality. In particular, one of the child actors from said movie was living in a shanty until his home was recently destroyed, leaving him homeless. The Indian government promised his family a new home a few months ago but they have yet to follow through. It’s disheartening to see people living way below poverty level, even more so when it’s a child.
