The government of India wants you
to believe that India is shining, that we are poised to become a superpower
soon. But beyond all the brouhaha surrounding India’s rise, as citizens we do
know and we can clearly see the glaring dark spots in the image of India that
is being sold to us. We all know what ails this country; that at the grassroots
there are still plenty a problem to be solved. But its not just the government,
we too are to blame for the malaise our society finds itself in, like someone
has said, “Knowing what to do and still not doing it, is the biggest crime”.
Discovering Mumbai is proud to feature a Mumbaikar working to bring about a
change at the grass root level by educating children from underprivileged
sections. That Mumbaikar is Himani Sanghvi, a Teach For India Fellow (TFI).
