More People of India Era WWII

Here are a few more of my grandmother's photographs of people form her time in India during WWII.


I find this one the most haunting image. A note on the back of the photo said this boy tended the pyres at one the the cremation ghats. He is wearing skulls around his neck.


Water buffalo cart


I think this must be a constable.


Smiling friends


Paper mache artist


Street barber giving a customer a shave


The most heartbreaking image is this little boy digging through the trash for food.
