Asia's largest slum

Flying into Bombay offered this view of Asia's largest slum. According to Lonely Planet the annual economic turnover in the slum is $650 million. Many of the products manufactured in the slums are exported. Flying in from above all i could think about was "organized confusion." India is a land of dichotomies so the fact that Asia's largest slum exists in one Indias richest cities did not surprise me.
