Bijoy Chowdhury, winner of several international awards, was in bahurupi on Nov 10 and was caught in the crossfire. But he shot some of the most heart rending pictures of the day of final offensive. His frames are a witness to one of the shameful chapters of our times when former neighbours became such foes that they could kill, maim and rape. They were men possessed by brute force. If the currencies of development are so horrific we perhaps would like to go back to primitive times.
