India Widows
An elderly Indian widow steps out from her small
living quarter in an Ashram, on the bank of Holy river Ganges in
Varanasi, India , Sunday, April 28, 2013. In India, being a widow
remains one of the worst stigmas. When her husband dies, the widow often
becomes a pariah, excluded from family gatherings for fear the mere
fall of her shadow will bring bad luck and tragedy. In the North, many
journey to the holy cities of Vrindavan and Varanasi, where they beg,
and are paid a pittance to recite prayers in the temple as they wait for
the end. Sulabh International, an NGO, on Sunday launched it's campaign
against the treatment of widows in India by adopting 150 neglected
widows of Varanasi, taking care of their basic needs from food to health
care.

onto spools inside his "projection Truck" on the premises of the Anup
Touring Talkies tent cinema at a ground in central Mumbai on April 20,
2013. To mark 100 years of Indian Cinema, a Marathi film "Touring
Talkies" is being screened in a makeshift tent theatre just like the
days of yore, in its pre-multiplex and pre-single screen glory dating
back 50 years. The tents, keeping in mind modern audiences, will have
plush seating, air conditioning and popcorn and cola alongside fresh
sugar-cane juice, roasted groundnuts and gram and pickle and other
tit-bits. The cinema will screen four shows per day for a week. The idea
of touring talkies was the brainchild of the doyne of Indian cinema,
Dadasaheb Phalke, after he saw the British watching movies in tents. The
touring cinema would travel through rural India and screen movies in
makeshifts tents. At present, one can only find these talkies - whose
sweltering tents and basic facilities contrast with the plush,
air-conditioned multiplexes springing up in Indian cities, during Jatras
(village fairs) in the interiors of the state.
