My friend here is a dalit land-less agricultural labourer who has been out of work since the last few days. What moved me was the flagrant display of royal power on the wall behind him. This district which is infamous at the world stage for its malnutrition levels, has been the "summer capital" of this royal family. I wondered how, despite his living condition, this man could ask for a perpetual stay of the clan (as the writing on the wall behind him shrieks) — in Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh. Clicked on December, 2012, this picture was moving enough to make me write on it.
