<br />
Holi, also called the Festival of Colours, is a spring festival celebrated by Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains and others. It is primarily observed in India, Nepal, Srilanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and countries with a large Indian diaspora populations, such as Suriname, Guyana, South Africa, Trinidad, UK, USA, Mauritius, and Fiji. In West Bengal of India and Bangladesh it is known as Dolyatra (Doul Jatra) or Basanta-Utsav ("spring festival"). The most celebrated Holi is that of the Braj region, in locations connected to the god Krishna: Mathura, Vrindavan, Nandagaon, and Barsana. These places have become tourist destinations during the festive season of Holi, which lasts here to up to sixteen days.<br />
The main day, Holi, also known as Dhulheti, Dhulandi or Dhulendi, is celebrated by people throwing coloored powder and colored water at each other. Bonfires are lit the day before, also known as Holika Dahan (burning of Holika) or Chhoti Holi (little Holi). The bonfires are lit in memory of the miraculous escape that young Prahlad accomplished when Demoness Holika, sister of Hiranyakashipu, carried him into the fire. Holika was burnt but Prahlad, a staunch devotee of god Vishnu, escaped without any injuries due to his unshakable devotion. Holika Dahan is referred to as Kama Dahanam in Andhra Pradesh.<br />

  • 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 />

  • 10th May 2010, Meerut: Mammu Singh (65) one of India's last official hangmen at his house in Shiv Hari Mandir Colony, Nail Basti, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India, 10th May 2010.<br />
<br />
With the recent sentencing to death by hanging of Ajmal Kasab the sole surviving gunman from the Mumbai attacks in 2008 there is a good chance that if the sentence is carried out within a few years that Mammu Singh will be the hangman. He has expressed a wish to pull the lever and says it will be  'a great service to the entire country , the noose should be tightened around Quasab's neck. Only then will the souls of those who died in the 26/11 attacks rest in peace. It is my ardent desire to ne the one the Maharashtra government calls upon to execute Qasab'.<br />
Singh is an executioner of 30 years standing following on from and to begin with assisting his father Kallu Ram Jallad, he performed his first execution in 1973 and his total is now 15. He was permanently employed as a hangman in 1998 and has been stationed at Meerut's Abdullapur jail ever since on a monthly sallary or Rs 3000.  Together with his father he exectuted the assassins of the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.<br />
Before becoming a hangman Singh used to work as a rickshaw puller and also sold cloth in neighbouring villages. <br />

  • 25th June 2013, Kesher Kala, India. Mr Faisal Hasan Quadri, 77, stands in the doorway of the Taj-Mahal inspired mausoleum he has built in the town of Kesher Kala, near Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh, India on the 25th June 2013. <br />
<br />
Faisal Hasan Quadri, 77, is building a mausoleum which he refers to as 'yaadgaar' meaning 'in memory of', to honour the memory of his late wife Begum Tajmulli, who died on the 23rd September 2011, aged 73. Quadri, a retired postal clerk began work on the tomb resembling a miniature Taj Mahal, 6 months after Begum died, in February 2012. He has so far spent 9 lakhs (approx £10,000) on it which he has largely funded by sellng a parcel of land. There's more to do to complete the structure and he even wants to establish a garden to surround it but his funds are now limited.<br />
