<image:caption>“Thousands of refugees were crossing over the border into India. I went to Calcutta when the 1971 war broke out in what was then East Pakistan. Thousands of refugees began to pour into India across the border, and the government was simply not equipped to deal with the catastrophe. The refugees had to fend for themselves, and lived inside empty sewage pipes, makeshift tents or out in the open. This was one of my most important assignments,” Raghu Rai told NDTV in 2016.</image:caption>
