Story

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. 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 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.

Film

Effective Treatment of Child Diarrhea in India

This short film explores the effective treatment of childhood diarrhea in India, showcasing the inspiring story of how The Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), with support from IKEA Foundation, is heroically saving young lives. Serving as a powerful advocacy tool, this film aims to motivate action to ensure every child has access to life-saving treatments like zinc and ORS.

Breaking the Shadows

“Breaking the Shadows” is a short film exploring the struggles of LGBTIQ+ individuals in urban slums, showcasing their battles with discrimination, rejection, and invisibility. Amidst adversity, their resilience shines as they build chosen families, find strength in unity, and dream of a future free from prejudice. A poignant tale of survival, hope, and the fight for equality.

Lyric Video

Nanhi Gauraiya

नन्ही गौरैया अब यहाँ नहीं आती

Sparrows help the ecosystem by improving biodiversity and supporting plant growth, which makes the environment greener. Growing up in Northern India, these birds were always around me, chirping and hopping. When I moved to Delhi, they were still with me. The house sparrow is Delhi’s state bird, but modern changes in architecture and lifestyle have ruined their habitats. They’ve now disappeared, and I miss them, even in Bengaluru. This music video brings back memories of them.

✨ “Hello”

This song is my wish for all of us:
🌱 A life filled with harmony
💚 A future brimming with hope
🎶 And a spirit that says “Hello” to new beginnings with open arms.
Join me in spreading the message of love and positivity this year. Let’s make every “Hello” count! ❤️

Across the Globe: A Review Without Borders

The photo-stream of Social Geographic takes us on a fascinating, aesthetic and eclectic tour of India. The images, almost exclusively of girls and women, speak of a wide spectrum of humanity. The viewer is drawn into the Indian environment and its myriad variety of humanity. There is an important message to be learned here. It’s worth the visit!

Social Geographic’s photo stream serves as a conscience of Flickr. Beautiful and powerful photos reveal injustices that abound. The commentaries always remind us that we have the power to make positive change in the world. The Flickr community is tremendously enriched through Social Geographic's work.

I love the images Social Geographic posts. And I love the work they do. Social Geographic serves as a reminder to all of us on Flickr of the best of humanity and of the worst mankind can suffer. The images here are endearing. The stories are heartbreaking. Thank you for showing me your world and letting me be a part of it. Godspeed...

This is the first testimonial i am writing in flickr. This is really an amazing work. so far i have used this photography to entertain people but the approach you have taken is really an excellent thing. Hats of to all your work and effort towards this... This country has given us many things but what we have given to this country is reflecting in your photos. congrats.... keep click ing.

Photography at its most noble form: to help the next disseminating moments of life, dealing with the photographic lens most – too often – disadvantaged human conditions and offering in exchange endless smiles and so much Hope to the Needy. Thanks for what you do, you are teaching all of us a clear and strong message of brotherhood.

Conocer esta galeria y la labor que hace tan desinteresada....ha sido todo un honor para mi encontrarla. Escribo este testimonio desde mi corazón. Nos muestra imagenes de la vida....de esa vida que muchos no quieren ver. Retratos que me han hecho sonreir .....y llorar. Nos muestra la existencia de la supervivencia .....olvidada por muchos. Lo básico de la vida.....la propia vida en si. Retratos magnificos...pasajes ...historias humanas mostradas por un corazón enorme. Cuanto mas se mira esta galeria ....mas crecen los corazones...mas se aprende de la vida., nos abraza con ellas. Nos muestra sonrisas claras, miradas inocentes..... transparentes... luchas por un mundo mejor. Nos deja ver horizontes de esperanzas e ilusiones....en las miradas. Inocentes dando la luz que necesita el mundo...... Social Geographic es alguien a quien todos deberiamos tener de contacto......para no olvidar que somos mas que nosotros mismos.

I admire the work of this people...Keep it up! I'm very glad to be one of your contacts on flickr.
