A rickshaw wallah’s life is not an easy one.
This is a fairly average sort of load – two ladies and three kids – and the slope they’re going up is very slight. But it’s enough that, with only a single gear ratio, the rickshaw wallah has to get off and push.
Jabalpur, Central India, 1983 – but things are no different in 2013.
