I was there days after the massive 7.6 magnitude Kashmir Earthquake that claimed 79,000 lives in 2005. In the photo, this man is showing me his credentials. He had been an important person with significant responsibilities. Now he was displaced and was wandering through rubble (which you can see behind him) without knowing where to go. It was the plight of tens of thousands in that very grim time.
