This appears to be a cropped image from a website - http://doon93.blogspot.co.uk/2007_03_01_archive.html. The source indicates it is a fourteen year old image, with this and other uploads by the user indicating to me that this is not the work of the uploader.

  • Following discussion with the uploader, I'm switching this to a PD file. However, more information on the author and date of creation are needed - I have asked the uploader to provide this information - see User talk:CT Cooper. CT Cooper · talk 20:21, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unfortunately the uploader has been unable to provide the year or author - the lack of any date/author information is arguably grounds for deletion alone per the precautionary principle. Furthermore, given that the subject wasn't born until 1936, it seems highly unlikely that this image was in the public domain on the URAA date of 1 January, 1996, and hence will stay copyrighted in the US until 95 years after publication, which is likely decades away. Furthermore, photos taken from 1941 onwards are granted protection for 60 years after publication in India, so this image is unlikely to be PD there either.
