The more than 120 color images contained to India 24 Hours seize the ephemeral and convey the sublime. This is a different India from that is usually portrayed. Here you see a living, glorious, hybrid India that poignantly exemplifies what Carl Jung called "the heroism of daily life." India 24 Hours is a powerful tribute to a remarkable nation as it approaches the golden anniversary of statehood.
During the first week of February, 1995 many of the subcontinent`s finest photojournalists and film makers fanned out across the country to record for posterity and adventure of enormous fascination and complexity - a visual time capsule of the world`s most diverse nation.
Under the editorial guidance of internationally acclaimed writer, ecologist, and film maker Michael Tobias and renowned Indian photographer Raghu Rai, photographic teams visited nearly every state and union territory to discover the elusive passions of a country that defies easy definition. The result: more than 30,000 images and 200 hours of film footage that together form a sumptuous portrait of a nation.
From glacial Ladakh to steamy Kerala, from twentieth century urban life to ancient village traditions, the photographers captured the contrasting forces that have shaped a nation. Their work provides a penetrating insight into the soul of India, a country of nearly 1 billion people, and more than 900 dialects.
