Seemapuri is situated on the periphery of Delhi. Those who live here are squatters who came from Bangladesh back in 1971. Natural disasters forced them to leave their native land. About ten thousand ragpickers live here in structures of mud, with roofs of tin and tarpaulin. They do not have sewage, drainage or running water. Although they have no identity, they have ration cards and have their names in voters' list. Children grow up in these small structures and the children help their parents in their survival. Rag-picking is the only way for survival in Seemapuri.
