  2. Don't want to pry but can't resist to ask either – why are some people in lead photograph of your blog whitewashed ??? This photograph is like a time capsule.. Don't answer if you don't want to, as you don't own me or anybody any explanation.

  3. The original photograph was from the book by Lawrence. It represented a group of Kashmiri people. The people missing in the group now are Pandits and Sikhs.
