India's Lingering Challenges
( More about event)
PHOTOGRAPHY AND TEXT BY WILL DURBIN
This past summer I spent working on microfinance in Mancherial, Andhra Pradesh, India. Mancherial is a “small” town of about 60,000, yet little about Mancherial felt like a small town to me. It is basically a mini-Hyderabad (the major regional capital about five hours away): like every Indian city that I visited, Mancherial has the pervading aura of chai tea and jasmine flowers, of curry powder and roasting chillies, of human urine and burning plastic and prayer incense; the cacophony of honking auto-rickshaws and bellowing trucks and yelling hawkers – in short, the wonders and chaos of urban India. Mancherial has all this (and much more) – just on a smaller scale than Hyderabad, Delhi and Mumbai.
