  • The hook need not be from the lede. Im a little confused - what is UNDUE in the initial hook? The one your suggesting is an opinion, there will be counter opinions (like the fact that some people consider it unhygienic), hence I would prefer the initial one.

    Fair enough - I'm a little new around here. It was just a thought: sounds a little negative, that's all... if the reasons for trading in this way were explained, readers could form a more balanced opinion (e.g. they're unlicensed because the fees are too high - dunno if this is true and even if it is, it'd be WP:OR without refs). Thanks. -- Trevj (talk) 10:07, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Of my own knowledge, such licenses are not issued too much - you would be very lucky to get one. Also, a lot of areas are officially designated as "No hawking zones" and cannot have vendors, but vendors bribe officials and get away. This is all WP:OR.

  • I don't get what this means: "2.5 Lakh (2,50,000) hawkers". But otherwise, the article and the original hook both look fine to me.--Carabinieri (talk) 14:21, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Shouldn't that be 250,000 then? Is it standard policy for India-related articles to use lakhs?--Carabinieri (talk) 15:02, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
On revisiting this, I think that the original hook will work well to entice further reading. -- Trevj (talk) 15:30, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
