 Dharavi is a locality in Mumbai, Maharashtra,
India. Its slum is one of the largest in the world home to
roughly 700,000 to about 1 million people, Dharavi is the
second-largest slum in the continent of Asia and the
third-largest slum in the world. With an area of just over
2.1 square kilometres (0.81 sq mi) and a population
density of over 277,136/km 2(717,780/sq mi), Dharavi is
also one of the most densely populated areas on Earth.
The Dharavi slum was founded in 1882 during the British
colonial era, and grew in part because of an expulsion of
factories and residents from the peninsular city centre by
the colonial government, and from the migration of poor
rural Indians into urban Mumbai (then called
Bombay). For this reason, Dharavi is currently a highly
multi-religious, multi-ethnic, and diverse settlement. [3]
