About the Book

Beggars in Hyderabad by Mohd. Rafiuddin offers a detailed sociological and investigative study of urban poverty through the lives and experiences of beggars in the city of Hyderabad. The book explores the social, economic, and structural factors that contribute to begging, presenting a human-centered perspective on one of the most visible yet often misunderstood aspects of urban life.

The author examines the backgrounds, survival strategies, and daily realities of individuals engaged in begging, while also analyzing the broader systems and social conditions that sustain poverty and marginalization. The work highlights issues such as migration, unemployment, social exclusion, and the role of public policy in addressing urban poverty.

This volume is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and readers interested in sociology, urban studies, and social development. It provides important insight into the challenges faced by marginalized communities and encourages deeper understanding of social inequality in modern India.
