u can never say for sure bro.......there are many times when human see some horrible things and not react ....and when they realize it kinda start making them guilty and all.......and some times his profession or hobbies can take over his personal feeling and he kinda becomes what he does .....like being a professional photographer first thing it would come to his mind is okay this one is a picture to show the world...so he just took it...it kinda become his natural reaction you know......just today it came in newspaper that a pakistani soldier send condolences to a woman for killing his father in 1962 ...he wrote to her that it was just what his duty called him to do ....he ever mentioned it was not abt war and all it was just his duty that required him to do....same for that photographer.

:mellow:

REALLY, is ANY profession bigger than some innocent life, when you have an option to save it, REALLY

war is different, it is survival, if you do not kill, he will, so you HAVE TO KILL

 

but this, noway, glad he committed suicide, he should have earlier :furious:

every time i see that first pic I really want to kill the photographer

he thought it was more important to take the pic than to help the child, good that he committed suicide, he may have done it earlier though :furious:

 

You might want to read up a little bit about the photographer as well as the alternate version of how the photograph was taken.

you do realize these kinda photograher travels distant place...war ravaged places....running around in the chaos.....among infected diseases places.....risking his own life to show the world this horrible things.....it is his way of showing to the world and trying to fight......this photo may have shown this kid abt to die but it also moved many people who after this would have done some charity or send aid to africa which may have helped many other kids.......it has moved you and me too...even if we not helping it ....it has atleast made us feel how privileged we are to get so much in life compare to these poor souls....

 

Human profession is his way of surviving only....war or no war.....

 

and abt this kid.....he definitely should have gone and done something if he can.....but we also dont know if he was himself in the situation to help him....if he had any food with him at that time....without which what could have he done??

João Silva, a Portuguese photojournalist based in South Africa who accompanied Carter to Sudan, gave a different version of events in an interview with Japanese journalist and writer Akio Fujiwara ...

 

According to Silva, they (Carter and Silva) went to Sudan with the United Nations aboard Operation Lifeline Sudan and landed in Southern Sudan on March 11, 1993. The UN told them that they would take off again in 30 minutes (the time necessary to distribute food), so they ran around looking to take shots. The UN started to distribute corn and the women of the village came out of their wooden huts to meet the plane. Silva went looking for guerrilla fighters, while Carter strayed no more than a few dozen feet from the plane.

 

Again according to Silva, Carter was quite shocked as it was the first time that he had seen a famine situation and so he took many shots of the children suffering from famine. Silva also started to take photos of children on the ground as if crying, which were not published. The parents of the children were busy taking food from the plane, so they had left their children only briefly while they collected the food. This was the situation for the girl in the photo taken by Carter. A vulture landed behind the girl. To get the two in focus, Carter approached the scene very slowly so as not to scare the vulture away and took a photo from approximately 10 metres. He took a few more photos and then the vulture flew off.

Which ones would be the images that changed modern India? These are the ones that come to my mind.

 

Kargil-Vijay-Diwas-Festival.jpg

 

Kargil war. This brought the nation together like never before. Sadly, that was something that didn't get to last long.

When Buddha smiled again. India announced its arrival in the Nuclear Club, sanctions be damned.

 

WARNING: Graphic image

Mandal Commision riots. I was too young to realise what was happening then but the horrors of it left an imprint in my mind.

 

Post the ones that come to your mind.

^^that Sikh kid burning........it is freaking horrific....kaisa kaisa madarchod log hai dhuniya mein..bacha ko bhi nahi chora....

AFAIK, those students self-immolated themselves in protest against the Mandal Aayog (The number ran in thousands as I hear from my mom). If you wanna blame anyone, blame Morarji Desai. He's the freaking bastard because of which education is exploited in our country today and deserving candidates are left in dust.

Was surfing net and accidentally found this and the story is actually really sad so i thought post it here. Anyways

 

 

The story of Junko Furuta, the girl who went through 44 days of torture

 

tumblr_ktt0zdKYfj1qa04ms.jpg

 

Don’t read this if you can’t handle reading about violence.

 

This is the story of Junko Furuta, a 17 year old girl who was held captive by 4 teenagers.

 

DAY 1: November 22, 1988: Kidnapped

Kept captive in house, and posed as one of boy’s girlfriend

Raped (over 400 times in total)

Forced to call her parents and tell them she had run away

Starved and malnutritioned

Fed cockroaches to eat and urine to drink

Forced to masturbate

Forced to strip in front of others

Burned with cigarette lighters

Foreign objects inserted into her vagina/anus

 

DAY 11: December 1, 1988: Severely beat up countless times

Face held against concrete ground and jumped on

Hands tied to ceiling and body used as a punching bag

Nose filled with so much blood that she can only breath through her mouth

Dumbbells dropped onto her stomach

Vomited when tried to drink water (her stomach couldn’t accept it)

Tried to escape and punished by cigarette burning on arms

Flammable liquid poured on her feet and legs, then lit on fire

Bottle inserted into her anus, causing injury

 

DAY 20: December10, 1989:

 

Unable to walk properly due to severe leg burns

Beat with bamboo sticks

Fireworks inserted into anus and lit

Hands smashed by weights and fingernails cracked

Beaten with golf club

Cigarettes inserted into vagina

Beaten with iron rods repeatedly

Winter; forced outside to sleep in balcony

Skewers of grilled chicken inserted into her vagina and anus, causing bleeding

 

DAY 30: Hot wax dripped onto face

Eyelids burned by cigarette lighter

Stabbed with sewing needles in chest area

Left nipple cut and destroyed with pliers

Hot light bulb inserted into her vagina

Heavy bleeding from vagina due to scissors insertion

Unable to urinate properly

Injuries were so severe that it took over an hour for her to crawl downstairs and use the bathroom

Eardrums severely damaged

Extreme reduced brain size

 

DAY 40: Begged her torturers to “kill her and get it over with”

 

January 1, 1989: Junko greets the New Years Day alone

Body mutilated

Unable to move from the ground

 

DAY 44: January 4, 1989: The four boys beat her mutilated body with an iron barbell, using a loss at the game of Mah-jongg as a pretext. She is profusely bleeding from her mouth and nose. They put a candle’s flame to her face and eyes.

 

Then, lighter fluid was poured onto her legs, arms, face and stomach, and then lit on fire. This final torture lasted for a time of two hours.

 

Junko Furuta died later that day, in pain and alone. Nothing could compare 44 days of suffering she had to go through.

 

When her mother heard the news and details of what had happened to her daughter, she fainted. She had to undergo a psychiatric outpatient treatment . Imagine her endless pain.

 

Her killers are now free men. Justice was never served, not even after 20 years. Please never let her story be forgotten. If it has changed at least one person, then it has been worth it.
