“Tucked away in a scorching dunes of Pokhran, is an ugly story of a nation's atomic might. In the summer of 1998, India blasted its way into the world's consciousness by testing a nuclear device. It was heard, but in that loud rumble of earth, triggered by a series of nuclear explosions, a generation lost its voice. The desert dwellers of Khetolai, Loharki and Chacha villages are still paying the price of India's nuclear story that unfolded in the sand dunes nearby,” writes Chinky Shukla, winner of the Emami Art Regional Photographer of the Year award for her series ‘When Buddha Stopped Smiling.’(Chinky Shukla)
