I Listen To What People Want From The Government As India Decides To Vote For The World’s Biggest Democracy

Somewhere along my travels, I began to interview my subjects, besides making their portraits. I keep it straight and minimal with a very basic question ‘What Do You Really Want’? referring to an on-going Lok Sabha Elections which are currently being held in seven phases from 11 April to 19 May 2019 to constitute the 17th Lok Sabha.

The counting of votes will be conducted on 23 May, and on the same day, the results will be declared. About 900 million Indian citizens are eligible to vote in one of the seven phases depending on the region.

Now I’m sharing the ONE THING that the common man wants which is beyond the basics; food, clothes, and shelter.
