bishnoi photo award ifra

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…
