Trams of Kolkata
With ageing vehicles, lack of passengers, other faster modes of transport available and mounting debts, discussions on discontinuing the services have surfaced many at times but have always been dealt with strong criticism and protest from the masses.
In this series of photographs I have tried to capture the essence of these rides which are so much of a socio-cultural symbol for the City of Joy, Kolkata.
