Innocent Patriot, by Sudeep Mehta

I found this kid selling Indian national flags on the streets of Mumbai on the eve of Independence Day of the Republic of India. I started cliking his photos and he quickly went down to peep in to my lens and that’s when I captured this. Street kids in India sell national flags on the eve of every national day celebrations to earn some quick extra bucks.
