Rich tributes continue to pour in for Raghu Rai, India’s most celebrated photojournalist, following his death at the age of 83.
Rai spent more than five decades documenting the country, capturing moments from political power to everyday life with striking clarity.
From the aftermath of the gas tragedy in central India’s Bhopal to the years of militancy in northern India’s Punjab, which killed thousands in the 1980s, Rai’s images shaped how India saw its most defining events.
His work did not merely record history but shaped how a nation saw it. It helped define modern Indian photojournalism, earning global recognition and influencing generations of photographers.
