Dear Editor,
This morning I was shocked to see the website www.outlookindia.com
The first story titled "Unemployment. A Crying Shame" shows a woman with a child in her arms. The child is naked, and the woman`s breast can be seen.
Was the woman`s permission taken before showing her and her child in that condition to the entire world? She may very well be poor and unemployed, but she deserves the same respect and dignity that the editors and photographers take for granted.
A crying shame indeed.
