A Big Showroom in Hazaratganj
Hazaratganj , it is a major shopping area of the city. It houses showrooms and retail stores of almost all major consumer-good manufacturers in India . One can buy anythn from a 5rs handkerchief to a very expensive saree. It has a different culture all together . The striking contrast between the new and the old city was unavoidable. The striking difference that we could see was between
“then and now� was inthe price or the state of the craftsmen or the artisans. The artisans who still work in the addas or have no ties with organization like SEWA or the middlemen who give them work their condition is real bad as the labour cost that they get is so minimal . For all the hard work that they do keeping the craft still alive , the returns that they get is upsetting to see. On the contrary people who have shops in places like hazaratganj or any other posh places, the returns that they get on the same craft is unimagniable .
