Summary of the Lost Spring: Lost Spring is a fascinating yet poignant analysis of the grinding poverty prevalent in India and the generations of the slum dwellers to whom poverty and exploitation has come as part of their tradition. It is not only a theoretical report on the condition of these people but an evocative narration where the rag-picker and their outlook on life come alive. Be it Seemapuri or Firozabad, child workers in every part of the country lead a life of misery and depravation. They are exposed to all sorts of health hazards along with the dirt and drudgery and a life of exploitation.
