Pt.1- Financial Capital Or India's Shame? | Can Spirit-Of-Mumbai Hide Govt Failure? | Akash Banerjee

Floods have taken a far more deadly toll on Mumbai than terror, yet even the 2005 carnage did not change things in a big way. Over the past 20 years, luxury cars have sunk, trains have stopped, flights have been diverted, and citizens have turned disasters into ‘reel content’. Can successive governments hide behind the so‑called ‘Spirit of Mumbai’ to save their skin? Is it merely geography and climate change that blame Mumbai floods, or are deep‑rooted flaws in planning, governance, and corruption to blame? Why do global cities like Rotterdam, Copenhagen, Singapore, and Tokyo manage floods successfully while Mumbai drowns year after year? In this video, we trace Mumbai’s long tryst with floods, expose the structural failures, and explore global solutions that could save India’s financial capital.
