A human chain of brick workers build their kiln two bricks at a time. These are the men and women building the new India; for every thousand bricks, they earn a bit less than $5.50 USD. A family, with five adult laborers, pockets on average a little more than $2 a day. This is the life behind the great Indian construction boom, propelled by an economy still growing at 9 percent a year. The lure of steady work is drawing more and more migrants who come to brickyards around the country because they can no longer sustain themselves by farming.

The view of the coast at sunset seen from the Galle Face Green in the Sri Lankan capital, Colombo. The Galle Face Green is the city's largest and most elegant promenade. Adjacent to the coast, this mile-long stretch in the heart of the city is a constant beehive of activity. In the evenings it plays host to families and children playing sports and flying kites, lovers embracing under umbrellas and health enthusiasts taking their daily evening walks. While the city remains a bustling, noisy metropolis, there are distinct signs of anxiety associated with the conflict taking place on the opposite side of the island, in the northeast. Tourists are fewer in number, military checkpoints are pervasive, and many public buildings are off limits to camera-carrying visitors, for fear that they may be LTTE spies. LTTE bombers have staged attacks here in the past and are most recently suspected to have been behind a bombing incident on the 24th of May in which a bomb that was strapped to a motorcycle exploded downtown in the capital.

Portrait of Bengali farmers. Story: At the Singur Block Development Office (BDO), two elderly brothers try to fix an irregularity with the cheque that had been issued by the Block Development Office to buy their land. As is the case with most farmers on the land, they have been working their fields (now property of Tata Motors Company) all their lives. Government pressures to sell their land following the acquisition, left them with the feeling they had little other choice.
