Display of wares and social interaction are the hallmark of Indian markets as compared to the mechanized and sterilized concept of shopping in the modern market centers and super market structures. From ancient times, hawking and vending have been an integral part of Indian trade and commerce. In this study we try to study the lives of these street venders who are regularly offering their service from dawn to dusk in the Kashmir valley. Convenience sampling has been used to collect the data from 200 respondents.
