Does it strike anyone as being odd, that JD, the self-proclaimed defender of English Grammar doesn’t know how to spell it? It’s spelt grammAr. Don’t you wish you had learned a little English spelling? BTW, It’s “It’s easy” not “Its easy”. It’s => It is. Its => belongs to it.

WoW! such an image.

I’ve been in India too. Drove deep into poor villages to see how probably 80% of India people live. It was something like this family.

Poverty is everywhere, but no where poverty is to this level as in India or Africa. Poverty in Europe or in America is richness comparing to third world countries.

And if we ever decide to help, who to help?
The most desperate ones.

I wish you people would learn a little grammer
There is poverty everywhere, just give a little if you see it, if you have extra in your wallet. That is all! Its easy.

MC, what a heartless pig you are.. Thank God and count your blessings. For all you know those poor kids dint even have enough to eat that entire week.
Stop mocking people who in return can not defend themselves.
And to all those who think this is only India, so just google New Delhi and click on the images. That will show you whole India. Unfortunately whole India also has some scars, which need to be treated but with love and care and not by mocking.

Also, have you ever been to places like Oakland, Bayview in San Francisco, Chicago, NY, Detroit, etc.. You will find not just kids but adults also on the street sleeping.. I guess you Americans call them as homeless. Don’t always look at the skyscraper.. also look at its shadow.

it’s usual of any westerner to look out for such scenes in india and then find some artistic message from them….

if you had looked around carefully…you should have got many more better subjects to shoot ..

i appreciate you photography but the images from india don’t really convey anything. maybe you can try visit uk and take snaps of those teenage mothers with their kids and i am sure they will definetely make very good subjects.

i have been to around 9-10 western countries and sadly everywhere its been the same stereotype image of india.

India is much different from what you have shown.

Ah India. Nice nail polish and nose stud on the oldest. And necklace on the youngest. As foreign as it gets.

At the risk of sounding hard-hearted (which is far from the truth), every time I see the destitute/desperate zillions in India, I think that their culture (yes, the Hindu culture) and their government make it unlikely that there will ever be any meaningful amelioration of their condition.
There, I said it.

You know i lived in India for two years and giving 100 Rupees is really a lot of money. You could give one rupee maybe to more children ?

And give rupees for pictures if you want, not begging for begging as these kids outside bring more money to their parents begging than going to school.

It’s better to not give but donate to NGOs…
