Truck drivers in India are outcasts from society, inspiring fear and disgust among their compatriots. Viewed as the modern world highwaymen, these "lords of the underground" sit on its edge looking critically at an India unable to accept them.
Lacking good roads, trucks, or a union, drivers feel insecure. The accident that might lie around the corner means they often view life in the short-term. In consequence, it is now estimated that 25-30 percent of truck drivers have STDs, while eight percent are HIV positive. The truck driver has been characterized by the Bollywood film, and public folklore as the public enemy. By traveling through the spectacular Indian countryside, buzzing bazaars, and darkened alleyways with them “Carriers” shows that it is not the truck driver, but the state of Indian society that is to blame.
