When I worked atHi-Tech city in Hyderabad, I was sometimes disturbed by the growing difference between the people. On one end, you have this technology boom because of which you see young boyz and girls getting loads of money and spending it on Multiplexes, Levis Jeans and Nike Shoes...And on the other end, you see people struggling to get 3 square meals a day.
These people work as daily construction of industrial parks (IT city..!)




From Time Asia Magazine:In Hyderabad, a migrant worker and her daughter sit outside their temporary hut near HiTech City. Men, women and children leave their economically depressed villages in the north to work as daily laborers on the construction of industrial parks and shopping malls in the more affluent south .
