Earning a decent wage is a constant challenge for many Indian autorickshaw drivers, who spend their entire day driving their vehicles to make a living.
An autorickshaw driver hailing from Karnataka state's Bengaluru city is drawing public attention on the internet after sharing his heart-wrenching story of poverty.
In a recent video that has gone viral, the man was seen breaking down as he revealed that he'd worked tirelessly from 8 in the morning until 1 pm, and could only earn a meager 40 INR (half a dollar).
Despite improvements in transportation facilities in India that have made traveling from one place to another quicker and cheaper, autorickshaw drivers continue to face challenges in making a decent living due to low incomes and limited earning prospects.
This has sparked a debate on Twitter, with some users showing support for the autorickshaw driver, and others accusing them of demanding excessive fares that put a strain on commuters' finances.
