Witness to Life and Freedom margaret Bourke White
By
Pramod Kapoor & Foreword by Gopalkrishna Gandhi
Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a
pioneering American photojournalist. As staff
photographer for the popular Life magazine, she
captured some of the defining moments of the
twentieth century, which often took her to troubled
spots around the world. She was the first female
war correspondent and covered combat during the
Second World War. The first American to be allowed
into the Soviet Union, she travelled through the
country documenting its rapid industrialization, and
even managed to photograph Joseph Stalin at the
Kremlin.
Some of Margaret’s most celebrated photographs
were taken in India and Pakistan in 1947-48,
as the two countries marched towards freedom
from British colonial rule. She photographed the
times and the leaders, including Mahatma Gandhi
(who called her his ‘torturer’) and Muhammed Ali
Jinnah. She was eyewitness to the migration of
millions and the mayhem of communal violence that
accompanied the subcontinent’s partition into two
independent nations. This body of work forms the
focus of this book.
