Environmental Degradation in Punjab
This picture captures a moment from our journey to Jalandhar along GT Road in Ludhiana, India—the country of my family's origins. India is a unique and profoundly diverse nation. It is both striking and troubling to witness the huge contrast between the widespread poverty and the significant wealth that coexist in this land. This was my third trip to India as an adult, and I continue to observe the challenges it faces. Despite various efforts to enhance its economy, the country still suffers from inadequate infrastructure and ongoing environmental degradation.
