Daily Life in India

An Indian rickshaw mechanic repairs a wooden wheel of a hand-pulled rickshaw at a workshop in Kolkata, India, on July 12, 2025. Hand-pulled rickshaws, a human-powered mode of transportation, originate in Japan in the late 19th century and are introduced to India during the British colonial period. Initially, they are adopted in cities like Simla and Kolkata, and later become popular in urban centers like Madras (now Chennai). The rickshaw quickly becomes a part of the city's fabric, providing employment and a unique mode of transport. (Photo by Debajyoti Chakraborty/NurPhoto)
