Fair Use Rationale

Although this image, Old-muslim-couple1947.jpg, may be subject to copyright, I (Fowler&fowler «Talk» 13:06, 19 April 2007 (UTC)) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

it is a low resolution copy of the original;
the image is significant because it is of one of the most famous images of the partition of British India taken by photographer Margaret Bourke-White for Life Magazine.
the image is not available in the public domain.
the image being used only in two wikipedia pages Partition of India and is being used only for educational reasons and not for profit;

However, it is believed that the use of this work:
