  1. Hi everyone!

    There is very good video documentary on the Commonwealth Games impacts in New Delhi. The games were hosted in 2010, and the right do adequate housing violations were quite intense.

    The link to the video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqWHcd3GqNE

    Does anyone have something similar in a different host city…
