The Flag – Ed. M. Lakshmanan

Description

The Flag records the astonishing – and everyday – moments in the life of the Indian tricoloured flag. With a range of images – from the flag as bodily ornament to the flag as an item of trade by the poor, this book is a startling and powerful visual essay on identity and citizenship, national pride and political indifference. Featuring 30 tremendously insightful but little-known photographers from across India, The Flag contemplates the Indian flag in all its human moments of pride and poignancy.
