Q-5 Read the following passage and write summary in not more than 120 words. [05]

Mumbai is often regarded as India’s Capital of Hope. Often wondering why this is so, I made a

fruitful trip down to the busy city, solving most of my queries.

Mumbai consists of seven islands, joined by land reclamation. Many Indians, especially those from the

rural areas, regard Mumbai as their parasdise, since they could find work relatively easily here, as compared

to their homelands.

Beings the pillar for revenue collection Mumbai’s economic growth has far outperformed the other

cities. In fact its per capital (head) production of goods and services is about three times greater than that of

Delhi – India’s second most prosperous city. Despite the economic boom, Mumbai gave me and astonishing

image of deterioration when I first stepped into the city.

The ostentatiously dignified imperial building erected by the British, were so overly populated that

they look as if they are toppling over and minute. There were the 1950s kind of black and yellow taxis, which

appeared as if brutally thrashed, lining up like ants’ trails, clotting up the small avenues. Amidst the dins of

traffic jams, stood the oppressed-looking building of Benetton outlets, foreign car dealerships, croissant –

serving outlets and so on.

Though unemployment is not significant problem in Mumbai, housing is. A visit to Dhravi, slum area

in Mumbai will help clarify our imagination. The Mumbaiites so called “ house ” are actually movable

shacks, built from unwatned bits of tarpaulin, tin and cardboard. There are so many of them that a maze of

alleys emerged, passable only when I walked sideways like a crab between them. Curious about th living

condition, I wandered around the maze, meeting groups of scantily clad kids and hungry, stray dogs. Popping

my inquisitive head into one of the small huts, I was totally amazed by their living conditions. Estimating

about twelve or more Mumbaiites living in each hut, these two storey houses are usually partitioned by rough

platforms with cellings no higher than five feet from the ground. Furthermore, these shacks look absolutely

bare – no furniture and I deduced that the inhabitants eat and sleep on the ground.

In spite of the poor living condition, many Indians still hope to migrate to Mumbai. Interviewing a few

of newcomers, a majority of them said that they came to Mumbai to finds jobs. There are some who regard

Mumbai as buoyant float, saving them from natural disasters and tyrannies in their homelands.​
