A bishti was formerly an Indian water carrier. The photo above shows a water carrier from India over a century ago. His job

was to ferry water over great distances by filling up his leather skins and running over the arid land to those in need. If he were magically transported to today's India, he would probably be amazed by the technological development of the water infrastructure here.
