Where: Mumbai, India
When: 2002
Photographer: William Albert Allard
"So close and so unreachable, a luxury high-rise in Mumbai stands aloof from a decaying housing complex occupied by Untouchables. ... Almost the only way an Untouchable can rise in Indian society is to land a government job or university scholarship, available to a few under a federal quota system."
—From "Untouchable," June 2003, National Geographic magazine

"'If there is one kind of work which I detest more than another' [wrote a Boston preacher in 1869], 'it is tramping.' But, he [went] on, 'in the North Woods ... you do all your sporting from your boat. ... This takes from recreation every trace of toil.' So the s##被过滤##pede to the Adirondacks began."

Where: Afghanistan
When: 1933
Photographer: Maynard Owen Williams
“Only silversmiths display jewelry in lands of the Veil: Moslem women love bright baubles, but hide them from view when in public. Anklets are both seen and heard; but bracelets, belts, earrings, and amulets only sound their presence. From one end of Asia to the other, there are large numbers of native workers in precious metals.”
—From “Afghanistan Makes Haste Slowly,” December 1933, National Geographic magazine
