EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of simple rural life against the backdrop of the iconic Taj Mahal in Agra, India, dated 1986. A young boy, serving as a ploughman, skillfully guides two majestic white oxen as they plough a fertile field on the banks of the Yamuna River. The Taj Mahal, a mausoleum of white marble, stands proudly in the background, a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. The scene is a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of nature and human endeavor, as the oxen's labor contributes to the cultivation of the land, providing sustenance for the community. The 1980s, a decade marked by rapid industrialization and urbanization in India, offers a unique perspective on the enduring tradition of agricultural practices, which continue to play a vital role in the country's economy and way of life. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and simplicity of rural India, and the harmony between man and nature.
