Human horse

Rickshaw puller, Kolkata. These still operate quite widely.....often overloaded with people and goods. The pullers are mostly very poor Biharis, who pay most of their meagre fares to the rickshaw owners. Their life expectancy is very low.

Well taken and a very telling image, Diana. I find it hard to comprehend the range of wealth in India, this illustrates it.

It certainly does...and that range of wealth is visible everywhere

I agree! After being in Africa twice, I've never had the same attitude about work, food, possessions, and so on.

Spot on Diane. Any exposure to the developing world leave a sensitive person with totally different attitudes to the way we lead our lives. Thank you.

They might not get enough energy from their meals to cover the "outlay" they spend on this hard work. So they die infact from losing vital power of life.

So sadly true. And people load them to extraordinary weights…poor guys..
