EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by MONEY SHARMA from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we witness the resilience and adaptability of Indian children as they find solace in a fountain near India Gate in New Delhi on May 9,2016. The scorching heat of the Indian summer has driven these young souls to seek refuge and cool themselves amidst an ongoing water crisis that has engulfed the nation. India, currently facing its worst water crisis in years, is grappling with drought conditions after two consecutive monsoons failed to provide adequate rainfall. The government estimates that approximately 330 million people, equivalent to a quarter of the population, are affected by this dire situation. Despite these challenging circumstances, the photograph showcases the indomitable spirit of these children who refuse to let adversity dampen their spirits. Their laughter and joy reverberate through the air as they frolic around the fountain's cascading waters - a temporary respite from their daily struggles. This image serves as a poignant reminder of both human resilience and environmental fragility. It encapsulates not only India's current predicament but also highlights global concerns regarding climate change and its impact on vulnerable communities worldwide. MONEY SHARMA's lens captures a moment frozen in time; it invites us to reflect upon our collective responsibility towards conserving precious resources while cherishing moments of simple happiness even amidst trying times.
