Indian woman drives an auto in Assam (the video is loading, may take long. Please bear with us...)

Economic compulsions have driven Lakshmi Rani Barman in India's northeastern city of Guwahati to become an auto rickshaw driver, which is considered strictly a male preserve. Laksmhi Rani has taken to the profession not by chance but by choice to eke out a living in the absence of a male member in the family. Laksmhi Rani has been driving the auto rickshaw for the last 3 years.
