Back Urban chaos

Indian cities are becoming increasingly unfit for human habitation. City dwellers have to deal with pollution — noise, air, water, soil — encroachments, congestion, corruption, lack of accountability and planning, a massive population, and migration of rural folks to cities, an overburdened public transportation system, commercialisation of religion, education, healthcare and politics, and poor governance.

What we require now is an entirely different kind of struggle to free India.
