Mother India

Mehr zum Buch

A photographic journey through 21st century India, both unchanging and open to modernity, generous, rich, and profound. The perspective of a photographer imbued with humanity gives these pages the spicy flavor of the Indian soul. To dive into the tumultuous and fascinating waters of India, to experience the millennia-long continuum of a country that has preserved its oldest traditions, to merge into the intimacy of daily life with the hope of deciphering the apparent chaos… but above all, to learn to love that which a billion people call Mother India: this is the experience that Jean-Baptiste Rabouan invites us to share. A photographer and journalist, he has passionately traversed the winding paths of India for nearly twenty-five years to create humanistic reports that testify to the continuity of ancestral India in contemporary India. He offers us his most beautiful images, snapshots of improbable journeys across the subcontinent, and tells us stories where characters come to life, embodying hundreds of encounters.
