Solution

The author comes across many shoeless rag-picker children in her neighbourhood. According to her, one explanation for this habit of remaining barefoot is that it is a tradition among the poor children of this country. However, the author quickly mentions that calling it a tradition could be just a means of justification for utter destitution.
