The Idea of India

Awarded the Aftermath Project Grant, photojournalist Asim Rafiqui has launched his site The Idea of India. There is a lot to look at and read, and the site may take a few visits to absorb but will be worth the time. Of the project Rafiqui says:

The site represents an attempt to bring together a very personal photographic and intellectual exploration of the complex, pluralist, shared heritage of India's peoples. Though focused on the nation of India, the work in fact speaks to issues of pluralist history, culture, religious spaces and practices, literature, politics and social practices of the region of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
