Attitudes are an inherent part of our mental make-up: some good, some not so good. We have opinions about what concerns us and about practically all else too. These thoughts, opinions and attitudes form our mindset. A challenging aspect of a mindset, at least for most of us, is that it is not easy to change it. Unknowingly and invariably, our mindset takes control and impacts our life and destiny appreciably. All of us need to be aware of this plain but significant truth about life.

The essays in Calcutta Diary first appeared in the Economic and Political Weekly during the infamous 21-month Emergency imposed in India between June 1975 and March 1977. Interestingly, Ashok Mitra had worked with former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi who had imposed the Emergency. The essays recount aspects of a unique and particularly difficult phase in contemporary Indian history.

I OFTEN THINK OF THOSE I LEFT BEHIND

The photographs of the Chin people in this book fill the eye with these dilemmas. As ethnic minorities from Myanmar living in exile in the Indian capital, most of the men, women and children you see in these images have refugee status accorded to them by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and live in unspeakable hardship. But even without any knowledge of their precise circumstances, you can see them suffering from various maladies of the body and mind, perhaps from memories of the home they have been forced to leave behind. Captured in natural light, these images seem to exude a yellow gloom, conveying the jaundiced mood of the setting. There are pockets of darkness in these photographs, as though a metaphor for their lives. The handful of families represented in this project embody the traumas and tragedies that define the lives of a majority of the Chin community in India.
