Hope for Change: Addressing the Marginalization of Musahars
The Musahar community primarily inhabits northern India, including Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal, along with presence in Nepal. The largest concentration, around nine out of ten, resides in Bihar, particularly in its northern regions. Often regarded as one of the most marginalized among Dalit groups, they are also known by alternative names such as Rishidev, Sada, Manjhi, and Banbasi. Despite governmental initiatives aimed at providing assistance, many Musahars continue to grapple with poverty, facing unequal opportunities compared to their counterparts.
These pictures were taken near my birthplace, Bettiah, in India. I took them to help a charity called Karuna before the pandemic. Karuna is a charity in London that helps people and communities in Asia. Presently, I call Bengaluru home. Despite my geographic transitions, I remain deeply concerned about the ongoing challenges confronted by the Musahar community.
Social
I love my job because it's all about real things. Every project is different, and every day brings new surprises and challenges. When shooting documentaries, There is a joy in capturing the moments that tell a story. A moment of laughter between friends, a child's smile, a stranger's gaze - these are the things that make life worth living. My work has taught me to slow down and appreciate the little things. It has taught me to be more mindful of my surroundings. It has allowed me to see the world differently, and to emancipate myself from limitations. I am no longer bound by the constraints of time and space. I can capture a moment and hold it forever. I can share these moments with others, and help them to see the beauty in the world. Photography is a gift, and I am grateful for the opportunity to share it with others.
