Kolkata is one of the last places on earth where pulled rickshaws still feature in daily life and 62-year-old Mohammad Maqbool Ansari is persevering as the gruelling trade is slowly fading from India. The 62-year-old has been pulling rickshaws for nearly four decades. Their numbers are declining as pulled rickshaws are relegated to history, taken over by tuk tuks, Kolkata's signature yellow taxis and modern conveniences like Uber. Ansari cannot imagine life for Kolkata's thousands of rickshaw-wallahs if the job ceased to exist.
