The End of a Calcutta era

End of an Era in Calcutta

Indian Government officials announced the phasing out of the Rickshaw. . .

This personal transportation device relied on human power to get you from point A to B and with its tall wheels provided comfortable transportation even in the most formidable of water situations . . .

The practice is being banned on the premise that it is de-humanizing to have one person pull another around, but the driver/pullers are wondering where they will make a living without their Rickshaws. . . ?

What do you think?
