Those areas definately do not look like either delhi or bombay. Im not to sure about the place but my bet would be that its someplace in central or south-eastern india. Maybe Madhya Pradesh or Jharkand.

On the contrary, something like 5-10 people die weekly on the Mumbai system (mostly by cross tracks at bad times).

yo man, that is most likely cause many ppl stay on the tracks there, bombay has the worlds biggest slum. and many of them live in poverty.

A little ignorant there may I add, given that you are of Indian descent.

There is no connection between living in the slums and sleeping on the tracks. Most of the deaths arise due to personal ignorance. Often times when trains arrive, people rush forward to get on to them and this usually results in cramping and in the process injury. Deaths usually occur because people jump on and off moving trains. Its personal carelessness and not over crowding that leads to these incidents.

I'm seeing my gf after work, and I'll ask if anyone in her family (Maharastran) has been affected.

So do these Kashmir militants ever attack Pakistan in their quest of separation? Seems a little unfair to go only after India considering Pakistan controls a large part of that area as well.

Thats a very good question.

Basically, a large majority of the kasmiri locals are muslims who would rather be an independent state rather than one ruled by India or Pakistan. Even during partition in 1947, the last maharaja of kashmir chose to remain independent but pakistani insurgents attacked him which is when he went to india for support and promised kashmir to them which pakistan contests to this very day by using the excuse that the majority of the population is muslim and would prefer to be part of pakistan which is absolute rubbish.

Shit got out of hand in 1989 when terrorists supposedly trained in pakistani camps started an insurgency to free Kashmir from Indian rule but now that ideology seems to have changed to restoring muslim rule in india like it was during the mughal period in the 1700s.

There is not anything on the pakistani side that could affect all concerned but the indian side controls the rivers that supply water to pakistan and pakistan claims that in case of mounting tensions, India would curtail their water supply. In any case, its not a conflict thats going to be solved in the near future.

yo look man, i dunno if ur been to mumbai or not, but there isnt much space to live on the streets. some do still live there, i saw it when i was there in march. so many living close to tracks ...

whatever i dont want to argue

i am not ignorant, when i see it, so dont go around telling me that.
