RE: Islam and His Wife, in Their 1-Room Home … Gurugram, India – Portrait Photography
Indeed, that's the one lasting image I have of India ... the wealth gap. Even though most of my white-collar colleagues saw it as simply a fact of life in India, I found it unconscionable.
Re your statement about "from Bangaldesh," several people told me the same thing. When I told them my domestic helper came from "West Bengal," various people told me that they most likely came from Bangladesh.
Apparently, there are many places where they can cross the border into India, and then make their way to Kolkata, Delhi, or beyond.
People have been going back and forth forever. Just because some humans draw a line on a map it won't stop people from meeting their relatives in the other side!
Right. Lines drawn on maps (drawn by fools, I might add) will not prevent people from moving and will not prevent people from wanting to be with their families or wanting to get ahead.
At the same time, similar lines drawn by fools can lead to horrible discord and carnage ... as India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh know so well.
