High raised buildings, which emulate the skyline of New York city, IT campuses, which reflects the dominant position they hold in the technology world and dazzling malls reflect the story of the rising lifestyle of middle class working Indian.
However, look down the tall concrete structures and around the shiny malls, you will see the crumbling roofs of the slum dwellings that tells the other side of the story—the poverty and sufferings—not much touched by the economic boom. This divide has raised its ugly head in most key metros, where the situation needs immediate attention.
