Here are a few photograph of coolies on a Mumbai platform. The first photo shows them sitting on the staircase waiting for the train to pull in. One coolie is standing and starting straight at the camera.
This third picture shows four coolies relaxing on a hand-pulled cart which they use to ferry luggage.

The second picture shows a man negotiating a rate with a coolie. Although the rates are more or less fixed, negotiation goes on.

Love the photos of the coolies on the Mumbai railway platform! It's a real glimpse into the daily life and hustle at one of the busiest stations in India. The hand-pulled carts really bring a lot of character to the shots. I always find it fascinating how the rates are negotiated, even when they're technically fixed. It’s nice to see how these images are available for bloggers to use too, especially for non-commercial sites. If you're into Indian culture and urban life, there's some great content on here.
