A Kid Behind The Bars

How & Where It Was Captured:

This photo was taken at Quetta, Pakistan with my iPhone in noon time with sharp light of the sun. I used following settings to get this shot:

Settings:

Ø  Shutter Speed: 1/1000 sec

Ø  f/2.2

Ø  4.15mm

Ø  ISO:  25

I used BnW for it because it lefts a story behind it. Often I used BnW for such photos because it gives them some eye catching effect and add some details to them. Increased it structure, increased the contrast, sharpen it and given it some Noir effect.

Story:

         This photo was taken by me at Balochistan, Pakistan. I saw a child sitting on the naked land and getting education in that school where there were no boundaries and no classes.

Balochistan being a largest and richest province of Pakistan it has been encountered the worst province across the country in the field of education. Balochistan vows to have the lowest literacy rate across the country. The state of literacy, particularly of females, is dismal in Balochistan with as much 70 percent girls dropped out of school. According to a recent report, literacy rate was stagnant at 44 percent in Balochistan.

Poverty, unemployment and law and order situation are some reasons behind educational backwardness and low literacy rate. And one of the great reason of this situation is “Sardari-System” (leaders, commanders, Rulers of the cast). The British introduced the present Sardari-System in the mid of 19th century for their own benefits. They rule their nation like a paying slave. They are corrupt and clumsy, and for common youth they are big trouble. They use them for their purpose instead of making their future and making them a shining star for the nation.

No Education, No Human Rights, No Modern Facilities but still there are some who are getting education in such circumstances.
