I was in Mumbai for the past week for a friends wedding. stayed at the comfy guest house (Swadeshi apartments) of Reliance in Chunna Bhatti, Central Bombay. It was somewhat discomforting but quite enlightening to see the stark difference between the Mumbai slum-dwellers and those quite well-off living virtually side by side.
Had a great time at the wedding and could not help but relate all the customs, rituals and events to weddings here in Pakistan. Ill be writing in detail of things i did but currently need to get back to work =)

there is more than one place in lahore where well-offs live just next to slum dwellers ... the first i can think of is where i used to live (canal view), the second, and most obvious is Z Block I think, or C ... Defence anyway
yeah thats true but the area you mentioned as slums is maybe 5% of lahore area. for bombay that number may well be beyong 40-50% of the total area. maybe one of my indian friends can verify that.
