Ageless Mind and Spirit: Faces and Voices from the World of India's ElderlyPublication Date2002 SummaryThe product of an 8-year-long oral history project, this hardcover book features 140 black-and-white photographs, with accompanying histories, of 400 elderly people all over India.

The issues and perspectives highlighted by these stories are also familiar on a universal level. Each story is accompanied by a large-format environmental photographic portrait of the person and a biographical note.

Aging is an issue that concerns both the developed and the developing countries in equal measure. The task of sensitising the young is especially difficult in today's times when media is only worshipping youthfulness. I had seen this book's exhibiiton in Bombay a few years and I think it does a good job of highlighting some of the issues and getting the uninterested to pay attention to an important, universal concern.
