Jharkhand, stato minerario dell'India nordorientale famoso soprattutto per l'estrazione del ferro. Da qui però proviene anche oltre la metà del carbone prodotto in India, ed è grazie soprattutto alle miniere di questo stato che l'India oggi figura come secondo produttore mondiale di carbone. Seconda solo alla Cina, l'India estrae dal suo sottosuolo una quantità tale di carbone sufficiente per il suo fabbisogno energetico e per i trasporti; il restante lo esporta in tutto il mondo. Il 90% delle miniere del Jarkhand, dove si lavora scavando incessantemente, è a cielo aperto, la maggior parte di esse è in autocombustione e sprigiona una enorme quantità di dionossido di carbonio, causa del global warming. Sono state distrutte intere foreste per fare posto a questa estrazione selvaggia e soddisfare un sempre crescente sviluppo del paese. Le concessioni per l'estrazione del carbone vengono concesse dal governo centrale e gestite da imprese statali e private, fenomeno che ha creato uno squilibrio sociale ed economico nella regione. Qui oggi tutto ruota attorno all'indotto minerario; una regione che in passato era in prevalenza agricola ora è stata interamente riconvertita all'estrazione del carbone. Molte persone sono senza lavoro, senza possibilità economiche sono costrette a lavorare illegalmente, in condizioni di sicurezza inesistenti e con la polizia governativa sempre alle costole. L'incremento vertiginoso dell'inquinamento dovuto all'estrazione selvaggia del carbone ha fatto sì che la popolazione soffra delle più gravi malattie respiratorie dal tumore ai polmoni alla silicosi, dalle più svariate tipologie di tubercolosi alle occlusioni delle vie respiratorie; inoltre si riscontrano malattie del sangue per inalazione di monossido di carbonio, disfunzioni cardiache e una vita media che non supera i 50 anni. In tutta la zona nascono villaggi in prossimità delle miniere di carbone a cielo aperto, con conseguenze devastanti per la popolazione, che vive senza le più basilari infrastrutture igenico-sanitarie, in baraccopoli prive di acqua corrente e di sistema fognario, dove l'aria è irrespirabile per le polveri sottili e per il monossido di carbonio generato dal carbone in combustione, in una situazione dove le infrastrutture locali e statali - che dovrebbero garantire un'assistenza sanitaria anche minima sono del tutto insufficienti e inadeguate. #BiancoeNero #BlackAndWhite

Exceptional, do not stop looking at her. Like all the rest of the series, anyway. But this is hypnotic for me. The rocks, the hardness of the contrast, the looks of the subjects, all contribute to making this image narrative and painful. Compliments!

Raw and beautiful image at the same time, exciting. The use of a beautiful b / n makes it even more impressive.
All my compliments.

Beautiful, black and white I really like it, especially the black sky that adds heaviness to the picture

What a fantastic light, already only this makes the 3/4 of the photo :-)... but excuse me eh, but the "smile you are photographed" (which maybe is not your fault) you should have avoided... it spoils everything... leaves the taste of a missed opportunity :-)... frankly you have not fatigued, You had everything: the light, the situation, etc... For a successful photo, come next time make an effort :-)

I share the crop that proposed Leo45. But I still see a great picture and a document that I like.

Always a great pleasure to bump into your shot. From the attitude of the subjects you understand that you have a great respect in these moments. Transpires. Congratulations!

Photographing in these places was banned, so they are stolen shots, the military were a few meters. I am aware that the shots destined for the magazines, the children should not be smiling, but here it is a question of highlighting a not a certain tourist reality. Leo45 I like your critical sense.

Extraordinary image and beautiful series. What to say, a black-and-white who tells... The contrast between the smile and the experience that the rest tells is remarkable. Congratulations and a greeting

remarkable image. As for smiles, from personal experience, I believe that even in the most difficult contexts these can manifest themselves, exorcising fears and expressing a kind of innocent vanity. in this case, photography also describes this side of the human soul. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I think that photography should not have rules, or likes or dislikes, of course there are tips for a good framing that is not mandatory to respect, the cutout that leo45 would have done for example I would have eliminated it because the subject looks at the lens , I would have kept the rest. I say this not because I know about it but because it is my vision of this beautiful photo. Hello
