- This article compares various forms of housing informalities, especially slums and gunthewaris that are present in Maharashtra. The comparative stance enables an insight into the dynamics that generate informalities and the disjuncts in the policies that have chosen to deal with them as specific forms that merit a distinct response. Such a policy response that does not address the basic causes that generate these informalities attenuates a policy environment that continually creates a state of exception. In fact, it seems to be leading to a scenario where planning and production of affordable housing is becoming increasingly difficult.
