Faces from City of Joy.

Seldom do I see a photo where the artist has crossed his personal boundary to get close to the subject and wait for them to reveal themselves. Few like Soham have the patience to let their human subjects reveal themselves as would like to. Take look at his work...

The “Ugly face” of the ECI: Arrest of Hari Prasad for “sting demonstration”

Sonia Gandhi

Hi,

Soon all of us will be eating genetically contaminated food. The Cabinet has just approved the Biotechnology Regulatory Authority of India (BRAI) bill which will allow genetically modified food into the country. The bill can be tabled in the Parliament anytime.

The BRAI will be a body of technocrats whose decisions will remain unquestioned. Our state governments and people like us will not be able to question this body.

To stop this, Greenpeace, a civil society organisation working on varied issues including sustainable agriculture, is sending an open letter to the National Advisory Council (NAC) Chairperson Mrs Sonia Gandhi. The letter asks her to make the Government re-draft this bill after consulting the public. I have already signed this letter and more signatures will make the case stronger.

Can you also sign this letter to Sonia Gandhi?
