Karachi, Nov 24 (PTI) Savita, a 30-year-old Hindu woman clad in her vibrant Banarasi saree with a messy braided hairdo and red bangles, is an important part of the undocumented micro economy of Pakistan’s biggest cosmopolitan city of Karachi which attracts thousands of migrants and immigrants every year for this reason.
Savita belongs to the third generation of her family and runs a makeshift stall on the footpath outside the magnificent Empress Market Building in the hustle and bustle of the Saddar area every day to sell dry fruits.
According to her, Hindu women have earned a sustained livelihood for their families for generations despite challenges and difficulties due to their minority status and the Covid pandemic.
