► Inside Story - India: Too far, too fast? A seven storey building has collapsed in India killing dozens of men, women and children. The victims were living in the Mumbai building while construction continued above their heads. Rescue workers were pulling dozens of bodies out of the collapsed structure after the incident on Thursday. The poor construction workers, living with their families, perished in seconds. Indian media has said that builders may have ignored construction regulations. The police say they are seeking the arrest of the builder in charge of construction. This is by no means an isolated incident. Building collapses often occur in India when developers cut corners. Buildings are often built with poor materials and no proper supervision. So, is India growing too far, too fast? Is anyone really sticking up for the poor? And are incidents such as the Mumbai building collapse really acceptable in one of the world's top ten economies in 2013? To discuss this, Inside Story with presenter Ghida Fakhry is joined by guests: Amrish Pandey, a political activist and member of the Indian National Congress youth wing; Sourav Roy, a political analyst, an Asian Affairs Analyst and columnist for the Huffington Post; and Madhav Raman, an architect, urbanist and partner at Anagram Architects.
