First up is the biggest city in India, Mumbai. Step out of your hotel door in this place and you'll be swept straight up in a seething sea of people, along the central boulevards that carry well-heeled professionals to the business districts and in the markets and bazaars where the city's enormous population of slum­-dwellers try to scrape out their next meal.
