“Family Life”. In my recent studies of the Indian society, it is clear that the traditional Indian family unit is sacred and the roles of the family are well defined. The Grandmother, who has taken a back seat, cannot help but peer ahead as she holds her daughter and grandchild. The daughter has now taken the role of the mother. She protects her baby and must blindly put her family in the hands of her husband. The father is the family’s front line. Carrying all of their weight, he must also put their needs before him and steer them in the right direction. Photo location: Delhi, NCT, India. (Photo and caption by Philip M.
