'I roamed through India for two months, oblivious of place and circumstances, concentrating on the men, women and children I came across. I photographed Untouchables, dancing girls, a Maharajah, a few Lamas, soldiers, orphans, Muslims, a young prince and a blind man.. For each one of them, whether he lived in a monastery or in the street, whether he was born into a high caste or a humble one, I made sure that my outlook on them was the same. My idea being to give an image of the person rather than his status. Each portrait tries to bring out the colours and radiance of the person.' (Jean-Baptiste Huynh, Introduction)
