Summary note
In Mandala, Mumbai, slum children huddle in a makeshift school as rain falls into waiting metal buckets. Inside huts leaning against each other, tarpaulin draped over corrugated roofs and sheets draped over entrances, they deliver messages of invitation, solidarity and protest. Three girls and a boy ask the viewer to "Stay today O Stranger in our Mandala village." This is Mandala Life School run by a movement for the homeless that fights a State policy intent on withholding education from the poor while destroying the only homes they have managed to build.
