The Hakki Pikkis are a free spirited nomadic tribe who began their wandering many generations ago in the North Western part of the Indian subcontinent but have travelled through and settled in different states of the country. They make a living by trapping small game in the forest and selling them along with lucky charms and trinkets. If the trap fails, begging is the next bet! With their traditional ways of life outlawed, the community share their stories of wit and survival
