The struggles of the deprived urban communities
Who are the deprived urban communities?
The struggle begins when they are forced to move from their villages...
What happens when they come to the cities?
What they do?
Where they reside?
After decades of residing in the cities and establishing their lives... all of a sudden the land that was their life seems to be important to someone else!
They are forcefully evicted
The homes that they build with what little they had are crushed in minutes....
so are their dreams!
They are provided concrete houses in the fringes of the city...
The houses are devoid of basic amenities!
Life is an ongoing struggle.... even for a pot of water they have to protest!
