Photo essay (1982) by Indian photographer, Raghu Rai(1942-2026)
An act of human relationship: Unique and unforgettable..In the poverty and filth of a Baroda backstreet, a blind, 70-year-old Muslim beggar and a young, mentally retarded Hindu girl are playing out the last act of a human relationship that is at once unique and unforgettable.Nazeer and Hira share a simple meal..Then, suddenly, the role switches and she is the dutiful, loving daughter. As dawn breaks over their private pavement patch, she rises from the rags and wanders barefoot down to the localdhaba, a handful of coins jingling in her palms.Source: Photo essay (1982) by Indian photographer, Raghu Rai(1942-2026)
