Voices From The Street: An Ethnography Of Indias Street Children: A Case Study Of Delhi

Past studies about Indias street children have been positioned within a universal construct of childhood, whereby children are perceived to be vulnerable and innocent, and have focused on shared similarities rather than cultural differences or distinguishing attributes. The way in which culture, societal values, family circumstances, lived experience, and individual contexts affect the choices street children make is often overlooked.
