This image is from a locality, named Malkagunj in Delhi. The wall forming the background is that of old Birla mills with its own history. The image was shot by me when along with Prabhas Ranjan I was working on a joint project, "Shaher ke Nishan: Politics of the Visual Symbolic Spaces of the City: A Case Study of Delhi" under the Independent Research Fellowship scheme of Sarai in 2002. The project was about documenting and analyzing the politics that go into the making of vast and scattered field of ordinary visual representations of the city of Delhi. The project was re-awarded with the fellowship second time in 2003. sadan.
