| 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. |
