History in the Making

                                  'Kulwant Roy (1914, Village Bagli Kalan, District Ludhiana, Punjab, British India – 1984) was an Indian photographer. As the head of an agency named "Associated Press Photographs", he was personally responsible for several iconic images of the Indian independence movement and the early years of the Republic of India.'

    The other day I was at Piramal Art Gallery to see History.  Oh yeah...its pure history..Photographs of the by-gone eras which we have only read in our school history books.Kulwant Roy whom many of us have hardly heard off was one of the best pre-independence photo journalists of India.He had covered many of the historic events like the Muslim League meetings, INA trials, the signing of the Indian Constitution, as well as significant post-Independence milestones such as the building of the Bhakra Nangal Dam.It's known that Mr.Roy had traveled the world, took lot of pictures and posted to his then India just to return to find them missing.He died eventually of the pain very soon.

His nephew, Mr.Aditya Arya, a photographer himself stumbled upon Mr.Roy's rare and many unpublished photographs after a period of 20 years after the death of Mr.Roy.

It was an excellent Photo Exhibit with Gandhi,Nehru and many other ancient India's Photographs.I personally had the chance to meet Mr.Aditya Arya who was at the gallery.I appreciated the exhibits and he thanked me for being there..

My salutes to Mr.Roy...

I just made a visit in a Time Machine to see History in the Making!!!!
