The types of houses in India vary according to the wealth of the

owners. According to Oxhey World, the cities are made up of big
houses, where the wealthy live, and tower blocks, that are like
small, cramped apartments, where the poor live. Even though these
tower blocks do have some running water and electricity, they do
not enjoy the technology the more wealthy home owners do.
Despite the big cities in India, the majority of the population still
lives in villages. These houses of the villagers, or huts, are usually
simple structures made out of bamboo, clay and mud with thatched
roofs. Usually each hut has two rooms and a courtyard for animals.

India, these huts must be continually maintained. Also, most of the
houses lack running water or electricity. Because of the heat,
families often sleep outside on flat roofs.
