About this audiobook

Shadows Of The Street: India’s Street Children by Dr. Venkat Potana is a powerful and compassionate exploration of one of India’s most urgent humanitarian crises. Millions of children live on the streets, struggling daily with hunger, exploitation, violence, and neglect, often unseen by society. Drawing from years of research, social work, and advocacy, Dr. Potana presents a holistic and deeply human account of their lives—one that goes beyond statistics to reveal real stories, lost potential, and enduring hope. The book examines the social and economic forces that push children onto the streets while offering a clear vision for rehabilitation, reintegration, and long-term societal change. Blending academic insight with moral and spiritual reflection, and grounded in a call to justice and compassion, this book challenges readers to respond with empathy and action.
