Empathy between photographer and subject is revealed in every image of the Indians. From princes in royal settings to village craftsmen outside a shopping mall in Delhi; from Mahatma Gandhi to Mother Teresa and the Dalai Lama; from Satyajit Ray to Arundhati Roy; form Satyajit Ray to Arundhati Roy; from Amitabh Bachchan to Shah Rukh Khan; and from formal family photographs to an obscure artist's studio Raghu Rai brings them all together in this portrait of a nation. Dividend into two sections, the first is a selection of images by earlier photographers from nineteenth and early twentieth-century India, including early-twentieth-century India, including Raja Deen Dayal, Bourne and Shepherd, and Johnston and Hoffman, which have been collected by Rai over the years. The second is a celebration of Raghu Rai's unique engagement with the lens and a wide cross-section of the Indian people for over forty years.
