| Five years ago, when she was twenty, Greeta and her family moved into a three-by-four meter room in a chawl, a tenement where each family occupies a room with no bathroom nor kitchen. |
| The chawl retained the old sense of community lost to people rehoused in multistory blocks. |
| Atul Loke, Indian photographer, using a documentary style, relates the somewhat precarious living conditions in a chawl, a collective house where several families live. |
| He has not forgotten the crowded chawl he lived in before he got his first break. |
| I remember very clearly how the atmosphere changed when Raju Korde took me into his chawl. |
| It's an older vision of redevelopment: this chawl was built over 30 years ago. |
