EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw reality of life in Srinagar, Kashmir during the 1980s. The young Muslim man in the image is seen carrying the carcass of a sheep on his shoulders, his expression serious and unsmiling as he looks directly at the camera. The heavy load, evident in the way his muscles ripple under the weight, is a testament to the hard work and dedication required to provide for his family and community. The scene is set against the backdrop of a bustling street, with the vibrant colors of the buildings and the hustle and bustle of everyday life contrasting sharply with the stillness and weight of the dead sheep. This poignant image offers a glimpse into the daily struggles and resilience of the people of Jammu and Kashmir during this period, as they carried on with their lives amidst the challenges of their environment. The photograph, taken in 1986, is a powerful reminder of the human spirit and the enduring strength that can be found in the face of adversity.
