EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the 1980s in Delhi, India, as a boney white horse pulls an entire family through the bustling streets beneath the imposing walls of the Red Fort. The horse, with its ribs visible and skinny frame, appears half-starved and struggling to support the weight of the cart and its passengers. The family, dressed in traditional Indian clothing, gazes intently forward, seemingly unfazed by the horse's thin appearance. The Red Fort, a historic monument and symbol of Mughal power, looms in the background, its red sandstone walls providing a stark contrast to the dusty, brown landscape. The horse and cart were a common mode of transportation in India during the 1980s, especially in urban areas where cars and taxis were less accessible. Despite the challenges of daily life, families relied on these horses to get around, often sharing rides with others to save money. The horse's thin frame was a common sight, a result of the harsh living conditions and the demands placed on working animals in India. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of Delhi during the 1980s, a time of economic and political change in India. It also highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of the people, who continued to make the best of difficult circumstances. The image is a poignant reminder of the human connection to animals and the importance of compassion and care for all living beings.
