Interesting thoughts. And an interesting theme to photograph. The urban theme reminded me of Pablo's series I once saw at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Bombay. Urban Indians could in turn be as removed from rural or semi-rural India as much as foreigners are, so even they might find 'exoticism' in what they see of the "other India", their realm rarely intersecting with lives of the "other India". Media's use of 'exotic' is an attribute geared for 'understanding' by foreigners. I doubt if an Indian will find anything exotic in something he sees regularly. I think each will plough the furrow according to what each gravitates to. The more the merrier. Very interesting post. Interesting thoughts. And an interesting theme to photograph.
