Photographer Apoorva Salkade won the prestigious Red Ink Award in The Big Picture category for his photography exhibition titled, Migrants’ March: Ahead is Home, Behind is Hunger. These black-and-white photographs by Salkade, employed with Outlook back then, capture the migrant exodus on foot from the cities to their hometowns in 2020 due to the pandemic. His visual reportage of travelling along with scores of migrants is a play of light and shadows that traces the harsh, inhuman conditions in which the poorest of the poor walked back home, with little or no government aid; some even perishing along the way.
