Since Bengaluru is illustrative of a developing country's society, with its many religions, castes, and languages, it was chosen as a case for the study. Bengaluru, the capital of Karnataka, is rapidly expanding as one of India's most populous and technologically advanced urban centres. Located in the extreme southeast of the Indian state of Karnataka on the Deccan plateau, the city of Bengaluru is the third most populous and fifth most populous in the country (COI, 2011). Language, religion, and socioeconomic status from different cultures permeate daily life here. In Bengaluru, one out of every five people resides in slum conditions, while the city itself is home to 21.5% of Karnataka's entire slum population. The slum population of Bengaluru has doubled in the past decade, creating a major problem for city officials (COI, 2011). High rural-urban migration rates in the past three decades, combined with high fertility rates, are blamed for Bengaluru's rapid slum population growth (Krishna, 2013; Krishna, Sriram, & Prakash, 2014; Schenk, 2001). Even though these studies show how different Bengaluru's slums are, they don't look at segregation and how it affects the socioeconomic well-being of the people who live there. The Karnataka Slum Development Board estimates that there are 597 slums in the metropolitan area. Official population counts don't count people who live in slums, but the Association for Promoting Social Action thinks there are about 1,500 of them in the city. In other Indian towns, Patel, Koizumi, and Crooks (2014) found disparities in the number of people living in slums.
