The Gulabi Gang in India, or the “Pink Gang,” founded by Sampat Pal Devi in 2006, is a powerful social movement of rural women in Uttar Pradesh. They wear pink saris symbolizing solidarity, actively combating injustices, practicing self-defense, and challenging gender norms, gaining national and international recognition. Despite facing opposition, the Pink Gang inspires change, emphasizing the ongoing need to address gender inequality and injustice in society.
"I see the beauty of people and the human soul in the pictures I take. And though the circumstances of some of the people I portray may be grim, back-breaking, depraved, the people themselves are always remarkable characters and souls"
For me Photography is my language, to access, to communicate, to identify and mostly to make it hear. Through photography I only jot down my heart’s language. The best part about being a photographer is that I’m able to articulate the experiences of the voiceless and to bring their identities to the forefront which gives meaning and purpose to my own life.
