A rickshaw puller

The man who earns his living by pulling a rickshaw is called a rickshaw-puller. Bangladesh is the only country where rickshaws and rickshaw-pullers play a vital role in the field of transport. The poor section of our people finds it easy to pull rickshaws to earn their livelihood. A rickshaw puller is mostly a young man. But a section of helpless old people also pull rickshaw to earn their livelihood. He gets up early in the morning and goes down in the streets with a rickshaw to carry passengers from one place to another. In all weathers, whether it is good or bad, he is seen carrying passengers. Though a rickshaw-puller pulls his rickshaw from morning till night, he leads a very poor and hard life. He generally lives in a slum area which is unhealthy and unhygienic. He is often seen passing the night sleeping in his rickshaw. He supports himself and his family with great hardship. He often can not afford to buy good food and clothes for himself and his family. The money that he earns is spent mostly for buying his daily food. He suffers greatly when he can not pull rickshaw. Considering his services to the middle class people who generally go by rickshaw, we should not look down upon him but respect on his services.
