North-East, India: In the big cities you can occasionally see young fathers carrying small babies. However in the villages, carrying small babies is exclusively a female responsibility. In villages if men carry a small baby then people question their masculinity. Today's images are from Nagaland, Assam and Meghalaya in the North-east and show a mother, a grand-mother and a sister carrying small babies.

उत्तरपूर्वी भारतः बड़े शहरों में आजकल नवयुवक पिता भी कभी कभी छोटे बच्चों को उठायें दिख जाते हैं लेकिन गाँवों में अभी भी छोटे बच्चे उठाना केवल स्त्रियों तथा लड़कियों का काम है. गाँवों में पुरुष या युवक छोटा बच्चा उठायें तो लोग उनकी मर्दानगी पर शक करते हैं. आज की तस्वीरों में नागालैंड, असम तथा मेघालय से क्रमशः एक माँ, एक नानी/दादी एवम एक बहन छोटे बच्चे को उठाये हुए है.

Nord-est, India: Nelle grandi città potete trovare qualche giovane padre che porta il bambino piccolo, ma nei villaggi portare i bambini piccoli è un compito esclusivamente femminile. Nei villaggi per un maschio portare un bambino piccolo significa sollevare domande sul suo essere un vero maschio. Le immagini di oggi sono dagli stati di Nagaland, Assam e Meghalaya nel nord-est e presentano una mamma, una nonna e una sorella che portano un bambino piccolo.
