Abstract
The concept of home is very complex and comprehensive in nature. The very essence of well being in the nature of comfort, belongingness, societal identification and social security is promised by the concept of home. Many sociological thinkers have made efforts to understand and deliver a universal definition to this dynamic concept of home and it’s opposite, homelessness. Somerville has given ‘Shelter, hearth, heart, privacy roots abode and paradise’ as seven significant indicators of the concept of home . Along with these indicators, the concept of home features the ideas of warmth, love, relaxation happiness, homeliness, stability, and psychological and emotional security9 . On contrary to this homelessness denies the above indicators resulting in discrimination, neglect, banishment, misery, instability and precariousness. Home ensures emotional, economic and social stability and is the most vital factor for overall growth of an individual. The concept of home is very complex and comprehensive in nature.
