This is the first book in our India Visual series: each book is a photographic telling of the great Indian street story, featuring astute—and often unknown—photographers. Each book in the series turns narrative images into political vision, returning photography to the arena of social and public memory. Featuring thirty photographers from across India, The Flag contemplates the Indian tricolor in all its human moments of glory and poignancy. With deceptive simplicity as each page turns, the book starts to unfold into a complex tale of the rituals of citizenship and patriotism.
