Machizo showcase

In this edition of Panoscope, we go to Dhaka - the bustling capital of Bangladesh where thousands of rickshaws, those jauntily decorated three wheelers, jostle for space with cars, pedestrians, trucks, tempos and bicycles. Yet the migrant population that man these vehicles around the city often remain faceless, swelling the ranks of Dhaka?s urban poor. We also hear Mostafa Kamal Majumder, a Dhaka-based journalist, speak about the migration and marginalization of rickshaw wallahs ? the men who keep Dhaka on the move. (15:00)
