  • 14th September 2011, Pahar Ganj, Delhi, India. The Love Commandos L-R: Sonu Rangi, Commando Coordinator; Rajesh Malhotra, Delhi State Coordinator; Harsh Malhotra ,Chief Coordinator; Govinda Chand, Delhi State Commando Coordinator; Sunil Sagar, Commando Trainer.<br />
The Love Commandos is a small organisation that was established in July 2010 and is based in Delhi. It is staffed by Indian activists devoted to providing help and assistance to Indian couples facing threats, violence, monetary difficulties and other problems associated with love marriages in India. Specifically they tackle the iniquity of so-called 'honour killings' that are still so common across the country. <br />
The Love Commandos have 2,000 plus volunteers from different spheres of life across the country. While founder Sanjoy Sachdeva is a journalist, his Chief Coordinator Harsh Malhotra is a garment businessman. They also have lawyers, doctors, daily wagers and others as volunteers. They have five centres in the national capital plus there are others in Punjab, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.<br />
So what do they do when they get a distress call?<br />
<br />
"Initially, we try to counsel the couple over the phone. If the matter is serious, then we send out a team to the area, which will take help from the local police to rescue the couple. Then depending on what they want to do, we either marry them off or give them protection till they reach a decision. Most police forces cooperate with us except for the Uttar Pradesh police, which is a shame, because we receive maximum number of distress calls from UP," Sachdeva says.<br />

  • 6th May 2015, Kathmandu, Nepal.  Ruku Khattri Chhetri (89) in Ramkot village, near Kathmandu, on the 6th May 2015.<br />
<br />
This mother of 7 lived through the last major earthquake to hit Nepal 81 years ago in 1934. She remembers it clearly, she was 8 years old at that time and was carrying her little 3 year old brother outside in the fields. When the earthquake struck she kneeled down and shielded him to protect him, the ground and nearby buildings shook violently  she saw a cloud of dust rise 'like fog in winter'  from nearby Bimdungar village caused by all the falling buildings, it happened very fast and many people died. She stayed where she was until her grandfather came and found them - as her parents were not available. Her father had jumped from the second story of their house during the earthquake to save himself and broken his leg.<br />
<br />
During the 2015 earthquake she was outside her house and fell to the ground when the earth shook, she found herself covered in dust from her house that had collapsed behind her , she crawled away crying for help and was soon rescued by neighbours. When asked about the future she said  ‘I fear more suffering is to come since I am still alive’ .‘If another earthquake comes I want to die fast, I don’t want to be injured’. She lost one eye to cancer and is all but blind in the other. <br />
 <br />
An earthquake with magnitude 7.8 occurred near Lamjung, Nepal, 50 miles northeast of the capital Kathmandu at 06:11:26 UTC on Apr 25, 2015. The capital has seen considerable devastation including the nine-story Dharahara Tower, one of Kathmandu's landmarks built by Nepal's royal rulers as a watchtower in the 1800s and a UNESCO-recognised historical monument. It was reduced to rubble and there were reports of people trapped. Portions of historic buildings in the World Heritage gazetted site of Patan have also been destroyed as well as many buildings in the old city. <br />
