India-Arts-Circus-Dog

An Indian dog holds an umbrella and bag during a performance rehearsal at Asiad Circus in Amritsar, 03 August 2005. The Indian circus, once known for its daring feats, is now struggling to keep the show going. There is a ban now on the exhibition of lions, tigers, panthers, bears and monkeys, though most circuses still have them. A long and determined crusade by Maneka Gandhi and other activists, who argued that circuses ill-treated their animals, subjecting them to great cruelty, led to this ban. It is widely expected that the other animals too will soon be prevented from putting in an appearance. / AFP PHOTO / NARINDER NANU

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of both whimsy and struggle in the world of Indian circus arts. In the midst of a rehearsal at Asiad Circus in Amritsar, an Indian dog steals the spotlight as it confidently holds an umbrella and carries a handbag. With its tongue playfully sticking out, this furry performer adds a touch of charm to an industry facing challenges. Once renowned for its daring feats, the Indian circus now finds itself grappling to maintain its showmanship. A ban has been imposed on exhibiting lions, tigers, panthers, bears, and monkeys due to concerns raised by activists like Maneka Gandhi about animal cruelty within circuses. However, most circuses still cling onto these animals while anticipating further restrictions. In this evolving landscape, the image symbolizes resilience amidst adversity. The determined expression on the dog's face reflects not only its own determination but also that of those involved in preserving India's circus tradition. As audiences demand more ethical treatment of animals and stricter regulations are put into place, it is expected that other performing creatures will soon be prevented from participating as well. Photographer Narinder Nanu skillfully captures this offbeat scene with his lens focused vertically on the canine artist standing tall during rehearsals. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both the joyous moments created by these talented performers and their ongoing battle to adapt to changing times without compromising their artistry or compassion for animals.
