India - January 30th - February 5th, 2006

Previous Contrasting Lifestyles, Hyderabad, India Next

The contrast between poor and rich comes across rather well in this image. One of the most surprising things to me as a visitor to India was how extreme wealth and extreme poverty were to be found side-by-side. Multi-million dollar homes would have cardboard box and tarpaulin huts built next to them and tent shanty towns would be built on empty blocks in otherwise very affluent looking areas.
