It is a sad state of affairs that in a culturally enlightened and a modern city like Bombay, a Muslim family has to undergo such humiliation. We should not go into Muslim history, to discuss housing in a modern and cosmopolitan setup. It is a fact that in Bombay new residential buildings have come up in areas, especially in the extended suburbs, where housing is meant for certain communities only. In a way, we are isolating ourselves into our own private ghettos.
