Homai Vyarawalla, India’s first female photojournalist, who died on Sunday, chronicled India’s independence with a spirit 
that was unmatched by the following generations, in part because of changes in India itself.
“Her images of Jawaharlal Nehru addressing a jubilant crowd in Delhi, and of the body of Mohandas K. Gandhi being prepared for cremation, give a vivid sense of the mood of a nation whose self-image was cast in a romantic epic mold,” Holland Cotter wrote in The New York Times in a 1997 review of a show in Queens, New York, that featured Ms. Vyarawalla’s work.
She was 98.
