India’s Hero
—
In the last photograph you can see a metal attachment that looks a little like a grill cover below the seat. Dan and I assumed this was for attaching things to but it turns out that it’s a sari guard. It’s a standard and necessary feature in India and keeps a woman’s sari from getting caught in the back wheel. Apparently in India it’s common for women to ride double, sit sidesaddle, and not hold on to the driver.
