India is preparing to welcome the world to the Commonwealth Games in Delhi, but behind the show of wealth, at what’s being dubbed the most expensive games in history, Dateline’s Yalda Hakim discovers a different story.
Thousands of slums have been demolished and the residents moved to outside the city, while the poor earn a few dollars a day building luxurious apartments for competitors, which will eventually sell for up to a million dollars.
Out in the slums of Mumbai, Yalda finds children as young as five combing polluted rivers and dirty alleyways for junk they can sell to survive, amid claims that money has been diverted away from schemes to fight poverty to pay for the games.
