There always is a MOTHER in NATURE
This picture by Hindustan Times lensman Himanshu Vyas has won the IFRA Gold Award for News Photography. Vyas had heard about an orphan fawn being looked after by a Bishnoi woman near his hometown Jodhpur. At the mud dwelling, he noticed the fawn playing with her children. “When hungry, the woman breastfed the fawn and her daughter simultaneously. Wildlife activism is publicised around the world. But this connect between man and nature is unparalleled,” he says.
I was simply spell bound by the beautiful benevolent, compassionate, kind, humane gesture of the lady in picture. Hats off!!!
Salaam India and the spirit of the people…

Dear all,
Just clicking the photograph once and using professional influence can get a prize, this all includes in his profession and this is what he is supposed to do. I am not against the winning of this award, it deserves but what about the lady ?
-she was doing something out of her profession/work for a better world or is this an artificial situation?
-does she got any recognition ?
-is any article published in her name ?
-can she be considered for any award for her contribution?
If anybody know the above please let me know.

I wrote this post not for Mr. Himanshu Vyas but because i was awestruck by the kind gesture of the lady.

And also the lady dint feed the fawn to get any fame or award or recognition,that is what makes this piccture and lady so selfless and unique.
And i dont think the photograph is “created” because Bishnoi’s (the community to which the lady belongs) is known for its love ofr the black deers.

This is very reminiscent of the John Steinbeck novel “Grapes of Wrath”. It goes one step farther in that human compassion seems transcend the human / animal relationship. It is tastefully done, yet provoking at the same time.

The love of bishnoi people for wild life and specially black bucks is famous through out India.
1. This is anything but gross.
2. The photographer gave the troubled tribe some very good recognition, and deservedly.

This is an act of selflessness. Great gesture by the Lady. I do agree that the lady does deserve recognition.
