The Story in Brief
A mahout stood on an elephant as it splashed water while bathing at Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary in Morigaon district, Assam, on the eve of World Elephant Day. The Deccan Herald photo spread also showed low clouds over Shimla hills after heavy rainfall, and children running with national flags in Birbhum, West Bengal during the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign ahead of Independence Day. A sunset view behind Vidyasagar Setu over the Hooghly River in Kolkata completed the set.
The Indian Opinion
The 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign photos show genuine enthusiasm, not manufactured nationalism. World Elephant Day pictures from Pobitora remind us that Assam's conservation efforts deserve more attention than Delhi's flag-waving. The real test is whether the state government will increase sanctuary funding after this year's floods.
