Who needs an Indian version of Adolescence when the nation is held hostage by ageing men too frightened to grow, too bitter to dream, and too small to love? They drape themselves in saffron (and other colours), but their faith is fear, their wisdom is decay, and their strength is nothing but the trembling hands of those who mistake control for power.

As a solo photographer I enjoy working alongside (and incorporating) other photographers into my work, like from this beautiful 2024 Delhi wedding.

(As per tradition, since it's my birthday, a small request to RT this so that people hire me to shoot their weddings. Thank you!)

This book is a deeply important chronicling of the draconian crackdown on dissent and activism in the Modi years.

Terrific work, @suchitrav and @kiccovich.

Constitution temple in Kerala (🧵)

Sivadasan Pillai, former social science teacher built this 'Constitution Temple' on 15th August 2021. He built this with the money he got when he retired. He built this temple to create awareness about the indian constitution.

My dear colleague and friend @DavidKalal at the NYC #IndiaDayParade hands out “Constitution Kits” created by @martinmacwan2’s wonderful organization Dalit Shakti Kendra.
The kits honor the architect of India’s constitution Bhimrao Ambedkar. Each kit is a puzzle which fits together into a Constitution House. @Hindus4HR

When fools fly first the guys at @DeccanHerald get their act together. Brilliant takedown of a vain superstar
