Food, clothing and shelter (roti, kapda aur makan) are the three most basic needs for every human being that exists and these needs are from time immemorial. The right to shelter is a basic human right that helps houseless citizen gets a secure living structure along with access to basic amenities. Right to shelter does not just mean being provided with a structure, it also means the structure is in a safe and livable condition where one can have access to basic amenities and grow his life and family; in short, a life with dignity. This shelter issue is not just a debatable topic in India, but in many parts of the globe. The right to shelter is a fundamental right of any human, the most basic need of any man or woman in existance. The low-wage group or economically weaker section of people dream so too but making it a reality is a struggle for them. Slum dwellers come in this group and they are amongst the most vulnerable members of our society. Recognition of their basic fundamental right relating to shelter and livelihood is done by the judiciary but there always exists some disparity that keeps on violating their rights time and again. Until a strong help from the legislative body is not received they will continue struggling for their rights with their hopes intact.
