shanties homes - Rajasthan, India

shanty homes where the poverty live in India, I took this shot from my bus ride while passing a small village the shanties were situated on the edge of the village.

 

On the bottom right-side corner you can see some traces of burnt out fire which I believe these poor people would light a small fire to keep warm at nights especially during the winter season in Rajasthan when it gets extremely cold at nights like as low as 5 and below degrees. And also to cook their meal each day maybe just 'one meal' as that is all they can afford. But this is everyday life to them even if it's a harsh living conditions. This is the reality of how many poor people live in shanty makeshift homes in India.
