Traditionally it is a wandering community having their own indigenous culture and traditions. But due to changing conditions and their interaction with the urban way of life has brought a number of changes in their life, culture and customs. This paper is based on empirical study made on their habitats in Delhi and attempts to look into the modern experiences of a traditional community with special reference to their mode of subsistence.
