Description

Begging, Street Politics and Power offers a comprehensive exploration of begging practices across India and Pakistan, examining how religious and secular regulations shape street economies and social hierarchies in South Asia. This Routledge Studies in Religion volume combines textual analysis with qualitative field research to investigate the role of charity within Hinduism and Islam, the dynamics of giving and receiving, and the political structures that influence begging in urban and rural settings. The book moves beyond surface-level observations to interrogate power relationships, institutional frameworks, and cultural attitudes that determine who begs, who gives, and how societies regulate these transactions. Essential reading for scholars and students of anthropology, sociology, religious studies, and South Asian affairs seeking to understand the intersection of spirituality, poverty, and governance.

Key Features

Routledge Studies in Religion series entry providing peer-reviewed academic analysis of begging as a social and religious phenomenon.

Comparative examination of begging regulation across India and Pakistan reveals how different legal frameworks address street economies.

Textual analysis and qualitative field research methodologies ground the book in both theoretical frameworks and lived experience.

Discussion of charity concepts within Hinduism and Islam demonstrates the religious dimensions of giving and receiving practices.

Investigation of power dynamics and political structures illuminates how institutional forces shape begging communities and street politics.
