Reuters's Indian Photojournalists Adnan Abidi, Amit Dave, Danish Siddiqui and Sanna Irshad Mattoo were awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography at Columbia University in Manhattan, October 20, 2022.
Tragically, the Taliban killed Danish in Afghanistan last year.
Inexplicably, the Indian government prevented Sanna from traveling to New York to accept the Pulitzer Prize.
