Thank u Pras forcthe Guest edition. I was indeed shocked to see the man in shackles picture, until I read the more humane side of the story. First I must confess that Prasanna had invited me to the exhibition but I was too preoccupied to make it. I now regret for not making it. He even said I would love it. I did see the three movies mentioned in the piece. But, being the layman that I really am, I didn't recognise the connection.
However I hear many a time mentally deranged people are kept in shackles especially when they get wild to protect other inmates or caregivers from being beaten A visit to mental hospital perhaps would show whether such practices are still being followed
From personal knowledge such people getting wild and threatening Ofcourse they may not know their state of mind ‘!
I wait for the FC columns every Sunday. Each one unique and informative. This is a beautiful piece on Shackles - albeit, for good reasons. In another context, it reminds me of the adage, Man is born free, but is in chains everywhere.
Story about shackles is very moving. Don’t know how old is this picture but this should not be acceptable in today’s time even if it’s for a good cause. I am sure they can put digital tracker on the person to track the movement or locate them.

Thank you, Mr. Prasanna. Keep them rolling!

Lovely story about the shackles
Interesting! The thing I love about photographers is their sensitivity. A picture is truly worth more than a thousand words. Thank you!
The power of the shackle picture helped the truth emerge - wonderful!
Wow.. never imagined that shackles could be used for some good cause..
