UNTOLD STORIES
Better Photography
|July 2020
Our lives are a collection of stories that are broken into multiple chapters. Each chapter is segmented into moments that are fed by choices and decisions that guide the trajectory of our narrative. In them reside tales of courage, hardship and resistance that sometimes go hidden and untold.

The Unsung series, the brainchild of Mahesh Bhat, is an exemplary compilation of such stories and of how photography can be used as a tool for social change. The books and the exhibition chronicle stories of remarkable Indians who have made a difference in society against great personal odds.
In this issue of Better Photography, Tanvi Dhulia and Nilofer Khan speak to Dinesh Khanna, Amit Mehra, Sharmistha Dutta, Prashant Panjiar, Aparna Mohindra, and Mahesh Bhat about their thoughts and experiences on photographing these lesser-known pioneers, reformers, activists, and trailblazers, who have worked vigorously for their communities.
Words as Weapons
Dinesh Khanna speaks to Nilofer Khan about his father-inlaw, Rajendra Yadav, who revolutionised Hindi literature.
