Here at the India Center we were privileged to seven weeks of independent study and one of my projects on the marginalized used photojournalism as a medium, ringing true to the saying that a picture really does says more than 1,000 words.
People turn the prayer wheels in Dharamshala.
More members of the Pardhi.
Sabavita (left) and Kalavati (right), both belong to the Pardhi tribe, which have been fighting for their survival since India was colonized in the 1800's. They're ancestors were originally freedom fighters against the British and the Empire in turn labeled them as criminals under the caste system. The police still convict them of any crime that is committed in the region, Madhya Pradesh. These two women were sexually abused and electrocuted for no reason, where they stand in front of their school in this photo.
This is a portrait of a man named, Lhasang Tsering, who is a retired Tibetan activist. He was one of the first Tibetan children brought into Dharamshala and he is also the first Tibetan to speak against the Dalai Llama and his decision for Tibet to become an autonomous in China's hands.
