India’s population is around 1,173,108,019. This could be the reason there are so many poor people living in unhealthy conditions. Some of the poorest people are living in places called shantytowns. In the movie Slum dog Millionaire it shows how many kids are growing up washing themselves and their items in dirty, used water. The water has trash floating around in it and yet the kids still play. This shows how use they are to the unhealthy ways they live.
The population in a shantytown is about 16,500 people per square mile. This is a rather dense population living under the poor conditions. In about twenty years the population grew by 18% This is a rather large increase, about sixty percent of Mumbai’s population lives in the slum. That is an estimated 7 million people.
Bollywood is India’s entertainment capital. Bollywood has produced many movies over the years. Each year there are approx. 2,000 movies being released. A majority of the movies being produced in India are Musicals or have some singing in them. Many of the citizens want to live in Bollywood one day and be a part of the movie making business, just like in the United States.
