Terminale DNL : Mumbai

Last lesson of the year about this Indian city.  We mainly talked about 4 topics :

1- An economic capital city in an emerging country 

2- A rapidly growing city

3- A hugely unequal society

4- A former british colony.

Here you can download all the documents on Mumbai. I recommend all of you to read all those articles.

There you have several documents on Mumbai we commented in class. The beginning of the slideshow was made by a workmate, it can help you to understand this city and the question of inequalities in India. There is also a passionating part about how was built this city by joining 7 islands.

At the end of the slideshow you have several links you can follow. For example, this one, to a short and uncommon BBC documentary on inequalities in Mumbay
