submission-002The many faces of hard work, struggle, the many pursuits through hot and cold weather, a fragile body in a crowded train or a worried look on a silent journey – are all faces of woman’s freedom and independence, captured aptly by Tusha Bhatia in this photograph taken in a ladies compartment of a Mumbai local train.

Below some more photographs by Tusha Bhatia.

Participate in the Bell Bajao photography contest, find details here.

    Thank you, for the wonderful description of the first photograph. There is a slight correction, my name is Tusha Bhatia, not Tushar Bhatia.
