From the producer of the Nano, the world's cheapest car come the cheapest homes... well and truly cramped for space, but something that the overpriced real estate market in Bombay has long needed to ensure mass affordability for those dwelling in slums and chawls...

When you say mass affordability, you presumably are ignoring the masses who earn 50 Rupees a day (about £1), or those who are even poorer - for example the kids who earn a living by going round the city all day and finding discarded soda bottles.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0

Yes, when I say masses, I am alluding more to the lower middle class than the absolutely impoverished - this will not necessarily solve the poverty issue, but it most certainly is a start for a country that needs to wake up to the gross social inequality there...It's always the grass that suffers, irrespective of whether the elephants are fighting or making love !!!0
