The image above was originally uploaded by Sandip Debnath.
Jigar‘s most recent post mentioned Sandip Debnath's images on Flickr. So I had to take a look and found some very interesting images. This one may not be the best of the lot but it conveys a great mind shift in India in terms of what is “proper.”
Am I being a prude? Not really – but when I left India in 1983, you can bet I didn't see any ads with women baring their legs, shoulders or arms. This image shot in a Bangalore shopping mall makes so many statements about the way we look at women and the role of men in society. Care to share your comments?
I'll often post images here that are interesting, curious and even spectacular. Would you also like to have your images showcased on this blog? If so, join my Flickr community group also called Tiffinbox. Thoughts, suggestions, opinions always welcome, so please leave your comments below.
