Buddhist Cricket, India, 1996

"Young Buddhist students at a monastery near Darjiling play the English game of cricket before a wall of Tibetan script. An infinite interplay of cultures, histories, and dreams propels a young nation as old as time."

—From "India: Fifty Years of Independence," May 1997, National Geographic magazine
