EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on the outskirts of Jammu in Indian-administered Kashmir, a schoolgirl fearlessly crosses a dry pond. The image captures both the resilience and adaptability of the people living in this region. Dated April 23,2010, the photograph gains significance as it coincides with an announcement by the government that India's summer monsoon is expected to be nearly normal that year. This news brings relief to many who rely heavily on these seasonal rains for their livelihoods. The young girl's determination shines through as she navigates her way across the barren landscape. Her presence serves as a reminder of how climate change affects even remote areas like Jammu, where water scarcity has become increasingly common. This striking image also highlights the importance of environmental preservation and sustainable practices to mitigate such challenges faced by communities worldwide. It prompts us to reflect on our responsibility towards safeguarding our planet for future generations. Photographer Mukesh Gupta skillfully captures not only a visually stunning moment but also conveys a powerful message about humanity's ability to overcome adversity. Through his lens, we witness both vulnerability and strength coexisting harmoniously within one frame – an evocative testament to the indomitable spirit of individuals facing uncertain times.
