Calcutta Poor: Inquiry Into the Intractability of Poverty (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781563249815)

This work shows how the poor survive in Calcutta where over half the population live in slums. It argues that since the major cities in India are half slum already, policies should accept that the poor are a part of the urban population and help them in finding the solution to improve their lives.
