India by Subhrajit Basu (National Geographic Award, 2008) becomes a sequence of images that lend themselves to an unavoidable combination of readings, among which there seem to be invisible threads and connections that fill it with familiar passages through which the gaze of the viewer travels. photographer who has captured them like a hunter on the prowl. There seem to be as many Indias as there are inhabitants in the country, and their representations multiply infinitely in art, literature, photography, as in this case, and cinema without exhausting their possible connotations. Popularly known as “Bodo”, this photographer lives in Calcutta, the city of filmmaker Mrinal Sen, one of the cities with the highest demographic density, home to 15.000.000 inhabitants. His objective is the affirmation of national identity through his photographic series that are ultimately living chronicles of today's India. Bodo manages to offer a true social and economic x-ray of his country in his captures of scenes of daily life.
