Graphic Reflections

This graphic is based on a pretty common upper and middle class notion in India that stereotypes poor people as thieves. Money or item of even small value missing or misplaced is considered to have been stolen by a known/unknown poor. It is not difficult to see that an overwhelming majority of poor people are not thieves and that a lot of them do menial tasks, often in inhuman conditions, to earn their bread. Those willing to leave aside their egos can seek inspiration from the lives of poor and see in them presence of a great many values. By peering into the lives of the poor one can sometimes see justification for their acts or behaviour.
