Mumbai: Mothers at night

What is it about Mumbai that makes me so sad? It is not about slums or it is run-down. It is about the mothers.

Mumbai is a city that lets her mothers beg on streets, sleep unprotected with her babies. Johannesburg is a city that lets her mothers raped and killed. When I finally could tell my mother something about Mumbai, I told her this, and I told her about Paris too. A Chinese prostitute in Paris worths 7 euros an hour; she is also a mother; she comes from Tieling. I thought about mothers and cities at night.
