Guys, many of Tina's photographs are used in an organized way to raise
awareness of the plight of the unfortunate. I believe that Tina has worked
very hard as part of charitable organizations.
The issue of photographing homeless or even more needy people is of-times
discussed on the LUG. India, I think is a substantially more diverse
environment to the circumstances of western cities, with systemic social and
religious factors. 

Cheers
Geoff

Good point Jayanand,

Neither do I.
Same thoughts here.
Society seems more leaned to just consume this kind of pictures instead of
moving ahead in the real sense of the term.
WCAH (who cares about homeless)
