‘Ras Al Khaimah could be described as the ‘slums’, the one storey buildings house a workers community in poor conditions. The people I came across were Pakistani and Bengali Muslims, some of them with families also living in these compounds. The endless electrical poles with their tangled lines running from house to house like a spiders web through these narrow lanes which appear to be gritty and unsafe. These people have electricity, some have air-conditioning, so why do they not have the basics…where is the drainage system, why do they not have sanitation or garbage disposal?'
