About a hand rickshaw puller carries a passenger crossing Howrah Bridge, the gatewaay of Calcutta, on river Ganges during a general strike. aperently hand pulled rickshaws are banned to ply on the bridge on normal days. the local government decided to phase out this century old heritage transport meant as "reliable at any situation", specially for women, from the city within 3-4 months calling it 'inhumane'.

Very poignant shot.

Have the rickshaws actually been phased out completely yet?

Wow very nice Bikas, I like the contrast between the two people, one a hard working probably oppressed man pulling what looks like a well off businessman on a cell phone. really a great scene..

Well done Bikas,in many ways this pic is representative of the contrasts and ironies that make up our beloved city-a contrast between the latest tech mobile and the human-drawn cart, between the prosperous 'babu' passenger and the dejected looking malnourished rickshaw-puller.The Howrah Bridge serves well as a static backdrop to this 'common' scene,instantly recognisable as belonging to Kolkata.
