“I thought to avoid the clichés of friendship that usually involve showing Indian and Pakistani flags waving in harmony. Instead I took my camera into a Mumbai slum where so many of the powerless and penniless live and face daily indignities and uncertainties and yet retain their spirit of resistance. What has resulted is a message from the economically displaced children of India to the militarily displaced children of Pakistan.” — Anand Patwardhan
