I documented the pain of the Kashmiri migrants begging on the streets of Mumbai.. and there were some who stayed back , I dont know why away from the Valley and Kashmiryat..and all these people with their family once stayed at the Bandra pipeline harassed by the cops the local slum mafia ,.. but they begged trying to make ends meet .
Mumbai is a heartless city but there is compassion for the migrant , and as these Kashmiri migrants were Muslims they got help in the Muslim slums , from the Mosques ..and they kept coming to Mumbai thousands of miles away seeking Hope .
I shot them , their kids , and it saddened me , most of them begged at the Mahim dargah lane during the urus of Makhdhoom Shah Baba .
