My journey in India has been fascinating, over the last few days I have been getting to know the many sides of Mumbai. These are my photographs.
West African footballers Suley Musa (right) and Abiodun Kolawale Martins are based in Mumbai with the Air India Indian Premier League side. I met them at their training ground.
India is cricket-mad but the popularity of football is growing and these cuttings describe how Africans are contributing to the growth of the sport.
The region's small African population lives mostly in the suburb of Mohammed Allie which is about one and a half hour's drive from the city centre. The poverty is shocking so close to the wealth of Mumbai.
Muslims and Hindus live side-by-side in this suburb despite recent religious tensions in the country. Here I sit with a Hindu priest in a temple.
Life is tough in Mumbai's deprived suburbs. In India, 300 million people live on less that a dollar a day.
People prepare to spend their night on the street.
A street in the heart of Mumbai contrasts sharply with the grinding poverty of its suburbs.   |
