How Much Do Indians Living In A Slum Make? | Street Interview

I wish the translator properly translated this line, @6:39 it’s so powerful and encapsulated the whole video. The lady said " I’m happy, I have no choice but to be happy, right?"

Everyone had so much wisdom. Especially the last question "Are you happy right now?", everyone gave such beautiful and deep answers to that. In the end, we all have a choice to find some happiness in our everyday life, despite the circumstances we in. God bless these people 🙏

2:33 Amazed by the woman in yellow. She and her husband have a combined monthly income of $180 (which is really only $60 after bills), yet she is happy and content with what she has. Her attitude is admirable, and there’s much we can learn from her.

Finally, Asian Boss found the right track; listening to the poor articulating about their situation so we can be more conscious and well aware of the world and realistic life.

I stayed in Kolkata for a while and I bought a bigger umbrella for the heavy rain during certain seasons. When I left the city, I thought of giving the umbrella away to someone locally. I went to a poorer area and offered to give the umbrella to many people, but they were refusing to take, I believe out of humility. After about asking 10 different people, one man took it. I learned how humble people are in poorer areas in India that day.

indians have great hearts❤️ im also doing street interviews here in berlin germany and the indian interviewees are in my experiences the most interesting and kind people you will find on this earth🇮🇳🌍💕

there is a bigger problem which doesn't get highlight, most of the poor people came to Mumbai from other parts of country where they faced challenges, they thought things will become better in Mumbai but cost of living is high and standard of living is worse if you are poor. They got work here but there standard of living never improved as Mumbai became more expensive with every year. The only solution I see is developing small cities so with average salary also they can have a better life than this.

6:11 "we don't have enough to make our kids' dreams come true" It just breaks my heart

I feel so so ungrateful right now. Thank you Asian Boss for reminding us what most of the world lives like and not to compare our lives to social media.

Mumbai has become the biggest example for unequal distribution of wealth in the whole india

I aspire to be as grateful as that lady. There will be no rich people without poor people. remember that, guys.

Living here in Mumbai for more than a year taught me many life lessons. Every day I stepped out my apartment and see the slums around me, I am reminded of how lucky I am. Mumbaikers are very VERY hardworking people. They work hard for their family and themselves. The fire and passion burn in their hearts. Despite not having much, they did their best and often times, even bless others with what little they have. Of course, with the city like Mumbai, survival of the fittest may be common yet again and again, I met kindness of these people who had gone hardship doing whatever they could without complains. They are the most hardworking people I ever met. If only, training and opportunities to upgrade their skills would be given more holistically. Mumbai would have grown even more towards the right direction. The rich helps in many ways, sometimes in areas that the poor don't see. I do my whatever I can for my didi, and I hear many stories of my colleague who even sponsor their didi's wedding. So yes, never give up in life. Have hope and keep trying. Stay honest and be kind and you will receive the same in due time.

I love HOW MUCH THEY VALUE EDUCATION...and believe in its ability to transform their lives ❤❤❤ . This attitude can really take India forward. Govt schools need to be made quality education centres

My parents used to be like this but I was small at that time and I also went through difficult situations but gladly we are now middle class Reason is simple education and grabbing opportunities one after another

"They don't have the luxury to dream" 😢 I like this interview very much, the things they said really touch me.😢

As bangladeshi who is 20 now im feeling reality. its harsh and brutal. there are people who have lot more than they need and there are people who live in hunger. if its a country like india or Bangladesh the difference is more clear to see. hopelessness is what i see

This is just so sad...It breaks my heart to see how the more we evolve, the less empathy there is...Can this even be called an evolution?

A lot of us westerners could learn a lot from their mentality. Life isn't always milk and honey, but we need to accept it nonetheless and continue pushing on.

This is what media doesn't show us

1 US $ = 83 Rs 300 US $ = 24,900 RS ( average middle class Indian salary) Which is not that bad ..... In Indian rupees. My dad works in the army ( in India) and his salary is around 70 ,000 - 75,000 Rs . My dad worked in the army for more than 20 years, that's why his salary is higher . And we come in the upper middle class category. My both parents come from a very small village... They worked hard to give me And my brother such a privileged life and we're grateful for that . Middle class Indians live their life comfortably in 25,000 rs . And Mumbai is one of the richest cities in india. It's expensive... From rent to buying stuff. IDK how poor people even live in Mumbai. Moving to other cities would be the best option for them.
