| In
Kashmir, fresh vegetables are sold either at street corners or in vegetable
shops. In the localities around Dal Lake and the river Jhelum, vegetable
sellers, both men and women, sell vegetables in shikaras. In the inner
city, hawkers go from door to door with seasonal vegetables. Even today, there
are some vegetable sellers who barter vegetables for rice.
In Chapter
50, we have included a poem by Dina Nath
'Nadim'. It presents a moving description of a vegetable seller from Dal
Lake. |
