Photos of Children in India

These are photos of some of the children I saw during my recent visit to India.

I snapped this characteristic picture of two boys from a moving taxi in Mumbai:



This photo of a mother looking after her child, also taken from a moving car, shows some of the slums of Mumbai in the background.  A great many people live in such structures:



I met this little boy as I came out of a music store in downtown Mumbai.  He made motions like taking a picture, and so I obliged and took his picture. I showed it to him in the digital window; he smiled, and ambled off.  What a sweet little guy.




This child was set in the dirt by the side of the road by her young mother, a girl from the villages who was standing close by.  It shows the lack of understanding of basic hygiene and child care that is a feature of a large number of people who lack even basic education.  Educating them is one of India's greatest challenges:




These two little girls were playing near a temple in downtown Indore.  They were absolutely delightful.  When I showed them the photos in the image finder, they laughed with delight:
