L’India come appariva nel 1900

Un paese di contraddizioni e di incredibile bellezza. Queste 28 immagini, scattate tra il 1900 e il 1908, portano alla luce un passato che non esiste più. Vandita Kapoor di The Better India le ha raccolte per mostrare la gloriosa vitalità che ha da sempre caratterizzato la nazione indiana.
