i don't understand why people always show beggars and poor in India ..... don't u feel there are other perspectives of India too ?

::> Well, Nipun, yep many people do show the poverty in India. I do not subscribe to the generalization, however. I, as an Indian, and a human first, believe in showing the different aspects of life - poverty being just one of them. If you go through my gallery, and work out the statistics as to how many happy faces you'd see and how many sad ones, I'm sure the numbers would say that there are much more happy faces in there.
::> As much as people think it's fashionable to show the poverty in India, I also feel that many people think it's fashionable to deride that point of view...
