So far in human geography class, I have learned a lot of stuff about India. I have learned about India’s population, India’s poverty, India’s problems with human trafficking, and the life in the slums of Mumbia. I also think that the movie Slum Dog Millionaire is a good and honest example of India, because it has all the problems and poverty that India in real life has.
In India poverty is a huge problem and many people are homeless or dying because they don’t have money to get themselves food or water. Many people live in shanti towns, which is basically a bunch of trash pulled together to make a house for themselves. It is sad to think about it because India has a population of 1,173,108,018 and 25% of all those people are living under the poverty line in India. Also another huge problem is Human Trafficking. This is when people own other people and they put them up for trade or money. This is a giant problem in India because some people think that they can own other people and make them do a lot of jobs for them. Human Trafficking is basically like slavery, and slavery is completely wrong and you should not be a loud to make other people do work for you unless they are getting paid in some way.
The lives in the Slums of Mumbia are very difficult, many people have barely any money and they will do absolutely anything to get some money to get themselves food or water. The people in the slums are very poor and the shanti towns that they usually live in are very crowded and busy.
The movie Slum Dog Millionaire is a great example of real India because it shows pretty much everything in that movie. It shows the poverty, the trafficking, what people will do for money, and how the people live in the conditions. I have learned a lot from the movie and I hope we continue to watch it in class.
I have learned a lot in class about India and their problems and I hope to continue learning about them and hopefully it will get better in their country.
