A Century of Storytelling Through Images
For a hundred years, Hindustan Times has pioneered Indian journalism with its commitment to visual and narrative depth. To mark its centenary, the publication launched My Country My Lens — a national photo contest that invited readers to capture India’s many shades, emotions, and untold stories through their cameras.
Capturing India's Essence
Participants from across the country submitted thousands of photographs depicting daily life, festivals, landscapes, and human resilience. Each frame reflected a deeply personal yet universally relatable story of India — from the bustling alleys of Varanasi to the serene mountains of Himachal.
“Every photograph told a story — of hope, courage, and beauty that defines our nation,” said a spokesperson from Hindustan Times.
Winners and Recognition
The winners, chosen for their originality and emotional impact, showcased India’s unique diversity. The selected works are now featured in the digital and print editions of Hindustan Times, celebrating visual artistry and the power of citizen storytelling.
The Art of Perspective
The contest underscored how photography continues to be a medium for empathy and understanding. It reminded readers that every image, like every citizen, adds a voice to the billion-strong narrative that forms the heart of India.
“Through the lens, we see not just what India looks like, but what it feels like,” noted one of the jury members.
A Celebration of Vision
My Country My Lens stands as both a tribute to Hindustan Times’ hundred-year journey and a call to the next generation of storytellers — to keep framing the truth, beauty, and complexity of a country still writing its story every day.
