Dhiraj Choudhury is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Dhiraj Choudhury liked to draw people the way he saw them, not the way they wanted to be seen. He kept a sketchbook in his back pocket and pulled it out whenever someone caught his eye, whether at a tea stall or on a crowded train. That habit gave his portraits a rough honesty you won’t find in polished studio photos.

To see his style in action, look up his 1979 Untitled drawing of a woman in a sari, where every line feels like a quick, sure brush on paper.
