Postcards Inlandia

"Postcards Inlandia' is a pictorial exchange of dialogues between the rural coarseness of India and its new socio-economic turn of the tide.

A country with an abundantly deep cultural heritage and history currently finds itself poised on an elastic band. Retaining what is deeply rooted and ingrained vs. trying to economically, nationally, and culturally shed skins to gain a new sheen.

Impacted by the passed-on and watered down narration of the geo-political situation with the neighbours, the current generation is looking for not only answers, but also wondering if the are asking the right questions

A place where prefrential treatmenet to the men is presumably a norm of life, the very act of women trying to fight for an equal status in society is seen, and felt as an act of sort of upheavel and bad influence of the internet and western culture.

With the current regime considered by many but openly declared by few as a right-wing Hindu ideology based government, sound waves of communal discord are openly heard and fast becoming as an accepted part of parcel of daily life within the communities coexisting closely.

With the long existing idea and the localized concept of masculinity not been left untouched, men find themselves staring at a prospect never experienced before. Where the recent laws protecting and supporting the ever beleaguered LGBTQ community in the country have come into force on the face of it, men on average still assume a conventional throne in comparison to the only other widely accepted and ‘normal’ gender. But with that status being questioned and challenged more and more on a daily basis by the other genders, there is often an undercurrent of revolt, victimisation, and backlash, much more than support from the men of the country.
