What an Individual can do when s/he is left with no means for livelihood or is unable to earn it and also no one to support him/her? There are many such unfortunate individuals who have engaged themselves in the most degraded activity which have resulted in destruction of their self-esteem and somewhat towards a counter-culture in contrast to the larger society. The present book has explored the socio-cultural and economic life of the beggars and destitute in India (Jammu and Kashmir). The study has looked into the deplorable conditions of the beggars and has explored the reasons and causes of begging.

Some of the major themes discussed in the book are: -Socio-cultural and Economic Profile of Beggars -The Beggary Problem and Reasons of Begging -State's Response to Beggars and Begging -Beggars' Encounters with Society -Techniques used for Begging Alms
