Incredible India: Sanjit Das

Image Copyright © Sanjit Das-All Rights Reserved

As no emerging photographic talent from India is being promoted during the Incredible India @ 60 extravaganza in New York City, "Incredible India on TTP" is a week-long series of posts in a small effort to redress this oversight by showcasing unknown, under represented or emerging Indian photographers, as well as some of my own photographs of this amazing country.

Sanjit's work addresses social issues in the backdrop of changing economic and political scenario in India, which reflects the changing India through the lived experiences of people, especially women and children. His work is published in books, book covers, newspapers and journals in India and overseas, and he has exhibited his work in galleries in India and France. He has worked for various international newspapers, magazines, corporates, UN agencies and NGOs.
