praise the lord and get in the ricksahw


Most rickshaws have some sort of religious imagery that denote the Deity to which the driver is devotes. With Christianity, in many different denomination, making huge inroads in India it only makes sense that some ricshaws Will end up dedicated to Christ. What i find fascinating about this pic is the flag with the star on the top. This flag belongs to a specific political party here in Tamil Nadu. I have never noticed a political flag on a Hindu owned rickshaw. So, as in America, Christianity is a political movement as well as a religion. This really scares me.
