February 14, 2008
Budding photographers take note: brilliant Indian photojournalist Raghu Rai, born in Jhang (now Pakistan) in 1942, has his work up at a free exhibition in Casa Asia: distinct passages of India that are as resonant as they are colourful and quirky. A man sleeps peacefully in Old Delhi as the world races past him. A sacred cow wanders nonchalantly through the rot and rubble of a shantytown.
