This report has aimed to illustrate the complex and diverse personal narratives within the experience of homelessness. Using oral histories of over fifty homelessness individuals living in Ahmedabad a picture can start to be constructed of life on the streets. Different themes have been explored including food, employment, conflicts with authority and the negotiation of gender norms. Although this report aims to provide an accurate representative of homelessness, it is important to acknowledge that this research is limited in scope. Many more experiences of marginalized families and individuals exist within the city but they cannot all be recorded. These instances of daily hardships faced by the homeless show the heterogeneous nature of the population who all have individual needs and values. This collection of narratives aims to restore the ‘humanity’ within the literature and break down perception of this population being non-citizens.
