Dotma: In a house I can live

Moromi looks out of the torn shards of a tarpaulin she currently lives in. She lived in a fine house amidst towering areca nut trees in her quaint village, Dotma. Today, she lives in a relief camp, just three hundred meters away from the site of what was once home. Eight months back, her district Kokrajhar become the epicenter of riots tossing her life into uncertainty of a dark gloom.

The tarpaulin looks like hands of an older person framing the young child.

That is a classic image in the old school style showing the world through the persecutive of a child. Robert Capa used this style when documenting the refugee camp in the early days of Israel's independence. Great work.
