Summary Response #1

An article of “Health effects of forced eviction in the slum of Mumbai” by the authors Emmel, N.D & D’Souza,L (1999) tells us the health effects of poor people who were forced to move their settlement by the State Government in the city Mumbai, India. The ambitions to make the city modernize is political leader’s vision. Slum clearance makes poor people homeless. Most of them have no choice but to rebuild their crude shelters near another slum. Their repeated eviction had a bad influence for the poor people’s household economy. This eviction has been carried out in spite of Article 21 of India’s Constitutions recognising the right to life.(Health effects of forced eviction in the slum of Mumbai” by the authors Emmel, N.D & D’Souza,L ,1999, par.7 )

Slum clearance can’t be a solution for the problems. Even if the state government repeats slum clearance, the slum dwellers repeat to settle near other slum. Government has plans to change the slum areas to the modern cities like Singapore. But poor people suffer physical and emotional hardship with forced moving. I think their rights to live should be protected their . Because the habitat environment is important for human beings.
As a support idea I suggest an example of refugees by the governments. Before Olympic games most of the nations build not only roads and athletic stadiums but also they did slum clearance. It was not a permanent solution but a temporary solution. People had mental suffering from those refugees by the government policy.
I suggest my idea to the government slum clearance. It contains an ethical problem. That is human rights to live and it is related to human life. According to the judge of the supreme court of India in 1991 considered that “The right to life includes the right to live with human dignity and all that goes along with it namely the bare necessities of life such as adequate nutrition,clothing and shelter over the head”.(Health effects of forced eviction in the slum of Mumbai” by the authors Emmel, N.D & D’Souza,L ,1999, par.8 ) So I believe government should satisfy their daily needs and then think about political policy.
