Rajeev Bhimrao Pawar, 12-year-old, sells flags for six days every year all to ensure that he has a meal atleast once a day.
"I sell these flags every republic and independence day. If there are any left, I save it for the next year, that way I can save some money," Rajeev Bhimarao Pawar says.
Every Independence and Republic day, sticking, putting together and selling the Tricolours is a ritual for Rajeev’s family of seven.
While Rajeev and his siblings make their way through winding traffic ensuring that each of them are sold-out.
"We have come all the way from Solapur because there's now work there. Here in Mumbai at least we won't have to starve," Rajeev's Father, Bhimrao Mallappa Pawar says.
