Most of these beggars in Mumbai are migrants they come from UP Bihar Jharkhand but I found a lot of them hailed from W Bengal Murshidabad Malda .
Since the pandemic most of them fled the city to their own hometown..some came back but than the second wave the third wave and omicron made them go back.
It's tough living in a city on the streets their only source of income is begging .
Outside religious places mosques dargah etc mind you there are people who help them with food and clothing .
Why do the states from where they come don't rehabilitate them give them work beats me ..when they fall sick they go to quacks in the slums some survive some just don't make it .
As a photographer I thought of telling their stories the darkness in their souls the poetry of their life .
I have helped a lot of them thanks to my friends wellwishers who gave me money to buy ration masks for them.
A friend gave me a wheel chair to I donated it to a village clinic .
Every tear that drops from the beggars eye is the testimony of his painful plight.
Pictures talk but some images need to be explained..words become the narrative of a beggars elegy .
I used to be insulted for shooting beggars some said I was showing my country in a bad light some thought I was selling my beggar images to foreign agencies making lot of money ..
Hell I have come a long way me and my truthful camera ..I find a lot of humans have five senses but have lost the compassion that comes as our birthright ...I know a lot of good people feed expensive pellets to cats ..feed dogs feed crows pigeons but they will not feed humans ..why do they hate the poor hungry boy picking gram from the ground thrown to the pigeons ..I am not a mind doctor kind of person I shoot but I also moderate what I shoot my intention as a people photographer is not to hurt communities gender or religiosity .

Protests have spread across the Muslim world over the publication in Europe of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. The drawings, first printed in Denmark, sparked a fresh row when they were re-run in several newspapers, leading to the sacking of a French editor. The man named to replace the France Soir editor has now resigned.
From the BBC News website:
The cartoons have angered many Muslims in the UK. There was a demonstration outside the BBC after the corporation showed a glimpse of the cartoons on television reports. A demonstration has been planned outside a London mosque to coincide with Friday prayers. It has been organised by Al-Ghuraba, described by the Muslim Council of Britain as "extremist elements". Al-Ghuraba plans to march and protest outside the Danish Embassy in London following the prayers.
A spokesman for the Muslim Council of Britain, Inyat Bunglawala, said while he understood that Muslims would be hurt and offended by the cartoons, he urged them not to be provoked into breaking the law. Muslims are offended by these cartoons for several reasons. The main one is that Muslims do not believe in idols. So any image in any form of any prophet or God is offensive. One imam described it to me by asking me to imagine someone slagging off your parents. This is a million times worse, he said. The Prophet Muhammad is the gateway to Allah, and is his messenger. Offend him and you offend God. Another reason is that some of the cartoons depict the Prophet as a terrorist. Shaykh Ibhrahim Mogra is from the Muslim Council of Britain and an imam in Leicester.
"Muslims will respect the rights of others to choose a way of life for themselves or a religion. But at the same time we reserve the right to disagree most emphatically with those lifestyles, just as others have a right to disagree with our lifestyle. This is the most offensive thing - even the vilification of God is not as offensive as this," he said.

Shot this one night after work, finally roaming around a little bit - Mardin is a truly marvelous small city on the plains overlooking the Syria border with Turkey- Syria is about 40 km away in the plains down below. This was also the birthplace of great Armenian-Canadian photographer Jusuf Karsh and his brother Malak.
Here's something i've wanted to upload for so long. So here it is. It's a picture of my ustaz/religious teacher.
He taught me what i needed to know. Guided and God bless him. :)
This was actually the first time i started playing with light.
I've written a short commentary on this particular image and what it means to me on my blog:

Tulamba the forgotten heritage
Reference Archeological Survey of India (Volulme V) 04-11-2017
Tulamba is more than 2500 years old. People say that Tulamba was here even in the era of Noah. Tulamba faced many armies as it was in the way to famous Multan. The forces coming from North and West had to pass from Tulamba to go to Multan.On digging, five eras are discovered. The first era belongs to Moi tribe. The remaining four belong to Greek, Sasani, Budh, Hinduand Muslim civilizations. From Aplodots Sir Megas to Muhammad Ghauri, the coins of several governments were found here.
When Alexander the great invaded Indian Sub-Continent, he also came to Tulamba. In that time, Tulamba was ruled by Moi people. They were very brave and courageous, that's why Alexandar faced big difficulties here.The history of Muslims begins with Muhammad bin Qasim when he came to Tulamba in his way to Multan. The place from where he passed is now called Qasim Bazar.
Sher Shah Suri built a Fort right in the center of the city, whose boundary wall and some parts of the building are still present. The Girls High School and the offices of Town Committee are present in the Fort.
The ruins of older city are on a distance of one kilometre from the city. Though they are in a miserable condition due to rains and negligence, but their bricks are still visible. When Dr. Sayyed Zahid Ali Wasti visited Tulamba in 1967, he saw the ruins spread in the area of several miles. He saw a Fort with walls and a very high Tower. He saw a three thousand years old trench around the fort which was dig for the protection of the fort. He describes that walls were beautifully plastered with mud and floors were not solid. Yet most of his description is now unpredictable, because ruins are very much destroyed now.
The present town of Tulamba is said to have been built by Shujawa khan, son-in-law and Minster of Mahmud Langa of Multan, between A.D, 1510 and 1525. The old fortress, which had escaped the army of Timur, was situated upwards of one mile to the south of the modern town. It was upward of 1000 feet square, the outer rampart being about 200 feet thick and from 35 to 40 feet in height above the fields. Inside there is a clear space of 100 feet in width and 15 feet above the country, surrounding an inner fort upward of 400 feet square and 60 feet in height the level of the faussebraie. The eastern ramparts of the inner fort are still upwards of 50 feet in thickness. The whole was originally faced with brick walks, the traces of which still exist in the horizontal lines of the courses on the outer face of the ramparts, and in the numerous pieces of brick lying about in all direction. This strong, old fort is said to have been abandoned in consequence of a change in the course of the Ravi, which took a more northerly course, and thus cut of the old ramparts were then removed to build the wall of the new town, in which it is curious to see numerous carved and moulded bricks placed in various odd positons, sometimes singly, sometimes in lines of five or six and frequently upside down. The true name of the place is said to have been Kulamba, or Kulambha; but no meaning is assingmed to the name, and no reason is given for the change to Tulamba. Masson writes the name as Tulumba; but al the Muhammadan authors, from Sharf-ud-din downwards spell the name Tulamba, just as it is pronuced at the present day. The earliest notince of Tulamba that I am aware of is in Sharf-ud-din’s History of Timur, The town capitulated on terms which, as usual, were broken by Timur and his troops. “During the night the soldiers under pretence of making a search (for grain), marched towards the town, which they sacked and pillaged, burning all the houses , and even making the inhabitants slaves.”But the fort escaped. As its siege would have delayed Timur for some time, and he was imptietn to push on to Delhi.
In A.D. 1480, just one generation later, the unfortunate town of Tulamba again captitulated to a Muhammadan invader , Amire Shekh Ali, Governor of Kabul, under Shah Rokh. Again the invader broke his pledge, and after plundering the town and killing all the males able to bear arms, he burned the place and carried of the women and children as slaves.
Tulambah is a historical place in Khanewal district. According to the district gazetteer of Multan, the present town appears to have been preceded by at least two previous sites, one of which was at the huge mound known as Mamu Sher, a mile or so to the southwest of the present town, and the other among the ruin which extends immediately to the west. According to some oral traditions, this was the place where Alexander had to face stiff resistance from the local people, and it was here that an arrow hit him which ultimately became the cause of his death on his way back to Athens.
The location on the east bank of the Ravi and the presence of ruins of a fort are a proof of the tradition. This place emerges in history many times. Many centuries later, it gave stiff resistance to Amir Temur while on his way to Delhi. According to his memoirs, he had halted here but was not welcomed by the local people for which they had to suffer at the hands of his commanders, Amir Shah Malik and Shaikh Mohammad who had slaughtered two thousand men who had taken refuge in the neighbouring jungles. Temur writes: "Amir and Shaikh slaughtered two thousands of these ill-fated Indians with their remorseless sabres, carrying off captives of their women and children." The city till 1947 was a stronghold of Brahmins who had resisted the invasion of Mahmood Ghaznavi. He plundered the city. For the fourth time, it was looted by Ahmad Shah Abdali in one of his incursions.
The city with such a glorious tradition of resistance against foreign invaders had produced a historian like Satya M. Roy who had to migrate to the Indian Punjab in 1947. She wrote a book on The Revolutionary Movements of the Punjab (1906-1946) which has been translated into Urdu by journalist Mahmood Zaman under the title, Punjab ki Inqalabi Tehreekein (published by Jamhoori Publications, Nila Gumbad, Lahore).
Migrated Tribes from India, after partition of Sub continent, people from India came to Tulamba, Shorkot, Makhdoom Pur, Kassowal, almost all parts of Southern Punjab. These people who came from India mostly are muslims and agricultural professionals, their languages are rohtiki or heryanvi.There is family like khan,s they speek pure urdu and punjabi as wel They are Rajpoots and have any subcasts according to clan and tribes system in the subcontinent; Tiagi, Sarohi, Chohan, Rajpoot, Mdahr, Toor etc. Also people from other casts; Dogar, Mio Pathan(Khan,s) Blouch and clans migrated to Tulamba

The parents of Muslim children living in the Netherlands had doubts about the quality of the rules that schools were used.
Because they seemed ineffective at preventing coronavirus contagion.

This is a HDR photo of a mosque which is a place where Muslims pray five times a day
In the past, Mosques were like universities, they were established for prayer as well as for getting education in different disciplines
This one seems like the mosque of Prophet Mohammad- piece be upon him- which has the Green Dome.
I hope you like the photo
