Lakho, better known as Lakha, was a hawker (some Khojas still work with "rekri" carts, selling produce in Kathiawar) and lost his house in one of the terrible famines in India during British Raj See Gujarat Famines & Khoja Migrations for more details.
Reduced to extreme destitution, he wandered from village to village in search of livelihood.
"My great grandfather’s father, Lakha, originated from a village close to Jamnagar in Kathiawad where he was a small cultivator."
