The Forgotten One's

A portrait of Albinism in India
Amidst a society overshadowed by shared sorrow, some communities remain even more obscured. Our minds are molded to conform, whether in the East or West. This pervasive influence stretches from adverts for beauty products to sunscreens. It's a dance of selling one's aspirations to another. In this fray, a community known as "Albinos" struggles silently, bearing the weight of centuries of disregard.
Albinism, a genetic condition, robs individuals of conventional pigments. This deficit results in reduced melanin, the substance shaping eye, skin, and hair hues. Albinos are born with fair skin, a conspicuous deviation from the norm.
These are the generations that fade into the background, forgotten by society, often ending up in institutions meant for the blind, even though their sight isn't wholly compromised.
