Kashmiri Beggars Shot By Marziya Shakir Street Photographer 4 year old

Marziya Shakir my grand daughter no 1 is in junior KG but when it comes to photography she shoots without hesitation, her surroundings people she shoots dont intimidate her at all..she shoots clinically I dont need to delete what she shoots and she knows every heart beat of the camera she holds in her tiny hands be it Nikon D 80 or the much heavier Canon EOS 7D ..

Though she prefers the Canon in spite of its weight ..

The Kashmiri migrants come to Mumbai to beg, some work but very few people employ them.. without their identifications testimonials etc..

Most of them stay near the pipeline at Bandra East .. in makeshift slums taken on hire at a price..

They mostly beg outside Makdhoom Shah Bans Shrine , Dargah lane Mahim..along with their women and children..

And their CM who loves to tweet has hardly done anything to bring them back and rehabilitate them..

I have not seen the Kashmiri Pandits they have a greater support base international recognition of their plight , the Muslim Kashmiri beggar is a endangered specie in Mumbai..
