Umesh, you have shot a masterpiece frame. It is truly said 'A picture is worth a thousand words' to which I add 'and even more'. The choice of black and white contributes immensely to the effectiveness. And it is so welcome in the flood of gaudy colours we are assaulted by day after day.
Two or three thoughts that surface on seeing the picture: Firstly, that the farmer is at the centre of human existence. Secondly, that when we say 'jagat no tat' in Gujarati, we must remember that women are also tillers and ploughers as much as men are. Farming is not a male preserve. Thirdly, the massive 'harrow' in the foreground signifying indigenous farming is increasingly getting endangered in the face of mechanised farming (including corporate farming) indicating that the hierarchy in the agricultural sphere is aimed at bulldozing petty farmers. People in cities who buy their stock from foodgrain merchants need to realise that their supply of food grains actually comes from the farmers. Therefore, the woman farmer in the photograph and her likes, though small-time farmers, who share an umblical bond with the land they cultivate (unlike corporate farming), deserve to be saluted.
