Abstract
In this chapter, the authors describe the welfare challenges and opportunities of modern-day India, with a particular focus on street animals and performing animals. They explore how ancient laws and religions have shaped today's society, the government and laws and how these are enforced, and the role of practitioners in India who want to make changes to benefit animal welfare.
