as a recipient of the Padma Shri, India's 4th highest civilian award, which is only given to roughly 100 people per year out of a population of 1 billion, the subject passes  hands down. There was much press coverage after Mondhe received the award in 2016: http://www.bhaskar.com/news/MP-IND-HMU-bhalu-mode-and-sushil-doshi-got-padmashri-award-5232610-PHO.html, http://www.hindustantimes.com/indore/mp-commentary-legend-photographer-get-padmashree-award/story-HgAnYYfvAxU6hSRy5yDpJN.html, etc. and this 2014 http://www.business-standard.com/article/opinion/subir-roy-how-sirpur-lake-was-saved-114041801109_1.html article details Mondhe's fight for Sirpur Lake.
