Hack vs. Jugaad
"Jugaad is a survival tactic, whereas a hack is an
intellectual art form; i.e. Jugaad is the wile of the poor,
and hack the pastime of the affluent cerebral. Jugaad is a
hack to get around or deal with a lack of or limited
resources, and has a class component to it ­ jugaad are
things poor but clever people do to make the most of the
resources they have. They do what they need to do,
without regard to what is supposed to be possible."
