Four Sage Men from Pakistan

They had a Community Meeting. We were their guests. The men were

sitting in one room, the women were assembled in the adjoining room.

The door between the two rooms was half open. The men could speek to

the women but without looking at them. The women were encuraged to

participe in the discussion. This is a big step forward in the

traditionally very conservative society. After the meeting some of

the men accepted to pose for a portrait. Of course I could not ask

the women to do so. Thanks for your comments and suggestions. Karl

I believe that the dyeing of hair and beard signifies that a person has visited Mecca, he certainly stands out in this photo - It's an excellent photo and your background information adds to it.

Lovely picture!

This picture along with your description here is an excellent essay on that particular society over there - a good candidate for photojournalism contests

 

An excellent portrait of the society over there..
