Hawker Business

Abstract
Some select features of Hawker business in India are presented, described and discussed in this paper. There are hundreds of thousands of hawkers in India. These businesspersons work very hard and the major focus of this enduring self-enterprise is to earn daily livelihood. There are strict rules guiding hawker business both at the all India level and in individual states. Even as hawker business does not carry much social respect and economic prosperity in hierarchy-ridden Indian society, their service is appreciated by the customers. Distinction between hawker and vendor is also briefly discussed in this article.
Keywords: Hawker, vendor, socioeconomic conditions, daily routine, informal economy.
Who Is a Hawker?
In this article I propose to discuss the features of Hawker business. Hawker is defined as “a person who offers goods for sale by shouting his or her wares in the street or going from door to door; peddler” (https://www.dictionary.com/browse/hawker?s=ts). Another meaning of this word is somewhat unrelated to the above definition: “a person who hunts with hawks, falcons, etc.” Hawk is described as “any of numerous birds of prey of the family Accipitridae, having a short, hooked beak, broad wings, and curved talons, often seen circling or swooping at low altitudes” (https://www.dictionary.com/browse/hawk?s=t)
This is only the beginning part of the article. PLEASE CLICK HERE TO READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE IN PRINTER-FRIENDLY VERSION.
