Yes, you'll see homeless people on the footpaths of Indian cities. I have visited plenty of small towns, but I can't recall seeing homeless people there at all. Quite a lot of the footpath dwellers come from nomadic communities, selling things like clay pots, handicrafts, etc. I don't know what percent of footpath dwellers are from such communities, or any other aspects of their demographics though. At least in Bangalore, I know from the language they speak that they are not from this state.
- rockyj 4y agoYeah, outside of Mumbai I have seen very few "homeless". In India there is always a room to stay depending on the budget or how much you are willing to "travel". India also does not have a huge drug problem, and of course there is always the option of staying with parents / relatives / friends or going back to the native village. In cities with limited space and crazy real-estate prices like Mumbai it is different.
- ido 4y agoI recommend visiting Delhi, or other cities with more than a couple million people. There are lots of homeless in the big cities, not just in Mumbai.
