Photos and article by Prashanta Kumar Saha
People who lost everything in their life, people who has no identity to show off and people who are drifting in any cause are the people of street. Climate changes, hunger, poverty forces a good number of population of Bangladesh to live in street. These people have no place to hold themselves. Their day starts in dump streets and ends at the roads of nowhere. Concrete covered street is bed of rose for these refugees who actually do not possess any identity. They are basically street hackers, laborers, street child etc. They build and are brought up in the street and thus these streets are their home to lay down.
