OTD in 1944, a photograph was taken of an Indian woman building a runway on an airbase. Few records exist of the displaced, destitute women who provided the labour fundamental to Allied operations in colonial eastern India during WW2. @urvikhaitan.bsky.social explores these radical photographs.

We are pleased to publish a new essay on our Visualizing Climate and Loss website by @urvikhaitan on the legacies of airfield runways in Bengal, built by over 30,000 Indian women during WW2 for US & British militaries. histecon.fas.harvard.edu/climate-loss...
