Firstly this is a "School Bus." It is bicycled by an often harried man who daily picks up and deposits little children to their front doors. I have seen them crossing the street with a half dozen kids in tow while the world whizzes by on a road few Americans would dare cross, I have seen these bus peddling men whacking kids, I have seen them buying kids ice-cream from road side vendors for a child, I have seen them giving a tongue lashing and I hear one of them in our stair well yelling for little Sanya upstairs to get a move on EVERY SINGLE morning!
Secondly these are children dressed as Santa Clauses. In a Hindu nation. We seem to have a false sense of how many Christians live in India. There are not many. BBC recently put the percentage at about 2% of the entire population. One of the children dressed up is Sikh. MacDonald's and Santa Claus, an unlikely pair pushing the world towards some sort of red clothing trend complete with strange hair.
