மும்பையின் Dharavi 10 லட்சம் தமிழர்கள் வாழும் பகுதி Dharavi World largest slum Mumbai

Dharavi is a residential area in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. It has often been considered to be one of the world's largest slums.[1][2] Dharavi has an area of just over 2.39 square kilometres (0.92 sq mi; 590 acres)[3] and a population of about 1,000,000.[4] With a population density of over 418,410/km2 (1,083,677/sq mi), Dharavi is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. தாராவி என்பது இந்திய தீபகற்பத்தின் மும்பையில் அமைந்துள்ள ஆசியாவிலேயே இரண்டாவது பெரிய குடிசைக் குடியிருப்பு அல்லது சேரிப்பகுதி ஆகும். இது தெற்கு மும்பை பகுதியின் வடக்கில் அமைந்துள்ளது. இது தோல் தொழிலுக்குப் பெயர் பெற்ற இடம் ஆகும். இங்கு மொத்த மக்கள் தொகை 600,000 ஆகும். The most polluting industries were tanneries, and the first tannery moved from peninsular Bombay into Dharavi in 1887. People who worked with leather, typically a profession of lowest Hindu castes and of Muslim Indians, moved into Dharavi. Other early settlers included the Kumbhars, a large Gujarati community of potters. The colonial government granted them a 99-year land-lease in 1895. Rural migrants looking for jobs poured into Bombay, and its population soared past 1 million. Other artisans, like the embroidery workers from Uttar Pradesh, started the ready-made garments trade.[11] These industries created jobs, labor moved in, but there was no government effort to plan or investment in any infrastructure in or near Dharavi. The living quarters and small scale factories grew haphazardly, without provision for sanitation, drains, safe drinking water, roads or other basic services. But some ethnic, caste and religious communities that settled in Dharavi at that time helped build the settlement of Dharavi by forming organizations and political parties, building school and temples, constructing homes and factories.[12] Dharavi's first mosque, Badi Masjid, started in 1887 and the oldest Hindu temple, Ganesh Mandir, was built in 1883 and organizing Ganesh Chaturthi of 112th year since 1913 folloing the Southern Tirunelveli Culture.[13] #mumbaiDharavitamilpeoples l #Dharavislum2025 #mumbaitamilmakkal #dharavivlogtamil
