Summary edit

Description
English: A smiling member of the Ramnami Samaj sect.
This picture tells the story of a rebel community from Chhattisgarh, India, called Ramnami Samaj. They were fighting against the odds imposed on them by the society. These people used to belong to the lower cast, therefore they were forbidden to enter temples and to practice their religion. Being dominated by the Brahminical attitude, they started a silent non-violent revolt by tattooing राम, the name of Lord Rama, on their whole body and writing it on their clothes.
