This is my 3 wheeler driver, Raj, repairing a puncture himself, the puncture probably having been caused by my bouncing around in the back too much!
This is just a comment about 3 wheeler drivers who can probably earn several thousand rupees in a day if they are kept. This seems to be in stark contrast to what most women can earn in a day.
The cleaner/cook/baby-sitter at the house where I am staying earns 700 rupees a day (about 4 pounds) and the women seamstresses who made or altered my clothes charged 200 rupees for several hours work.
They also would not take any more money when I tried to give them more. Life certainly seems rather unfair for women here.
