On Karachi's footpaths, misery and commerce live together

KARACHI: Aasha Raj has a husband who doesn’t work, four children to feed but no money to afford renting a shop. So, for years now, the 50-year-old has been hawking dry fruit on the streets of Karachi, one of thousands of the city’s ubiquitous footpath vendors who sell everything from snacks and cups of tea to toys and shoes on pavements. “We don't have enough income to buy shops or sell our stuff in a store, we don't have enough sales for that,” Raj told Arab News as she sat on a roadside under a black outdoor umbrella, plastic buckets of dry fruit spread before her.
