French man turns rickshaw puller for research

A French man is pedalling a rickshaw in Bihar these days to understand the real problems of rickshaw pullers in India.

John Lui (40) said, "I am trying to discover the real life of a rickshaw puller."

Lui, a technical designer, pedalled a newly decorated cycle rickshaw for over three hours in Sasaram town of western Bihar.

"I have been gathering my experience as rickshaw puller to strengthen research on their lives. It has been a unique learning experience so far on polluted dusty roads," he said.

After completing his research, Lui plans to help rickshaw pullers by raising funds to launch some innovative scheme that will make life easier for them. "I have experienced that a rickshaw puller's life is tough, without social and emotional security. I will do something for them," he said.
