'Awareness' -India's rising generation

How did they make postcards like this? Throw them a few coins, put them in line and let them be bewildered be your magic camera??
The children look very ill nourished. They had no chance to going to school like you.
When I was in India for my books, the children of rickshaw drivers had to sit on the floor in front of the class. This caste system is still apparent.

These 'ethno graphic' postcards were very much in use in the beginning of the 20th century. This was about the same time as the great world fair in Bruxelles in Belgium, where they had rebuild 2 African villages complete with 240 people from the Congo, which was at that time a Belgian colony.
