#TRIBES: documenting the lives of the #denotifiedtribes in #gujarat, who were designated in law, or “notified” as being innately criminal. This was changed in 1959 but only to reclassify them all as “habitual offenders” who could be arrested without evidence. #india #tribes #nomadic

#WOMEN: the natural ratio of male to female human births is around 105:100, but factors in India have shifted that further towards the males. Finally, after decades of education, the balance is starting to shift back - there are technically more women than men in India now, but they’re elderly - of little use to the twenty-somethings who can’t get a girlfriend. My cousins and I have been complaining about this for DECADES, India’s inability to fix the collective treatment of girls and women. #india #women

#LOOKINGOUT/LOOKINGIN: permanent housing doesn’t always mean security, but it absolutely makes it easier to deal with all the other issues. #streetphotography #india
