EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, depicts the sons of Nadown Rajah, esteemed Rajpoot Hindoos hailing from the Trans-Sutlej states. The image is a testament to the rich ethnic and cultural diversity of India during the Victorian era. Rajpoots, also known as Rajputs, are an indigenous people with a long and illustrious history. Originating in the northern and central parts of India, they have been renowned for their valour, pride, and chivalry. The Rajpoots were traditionally the ruling class in many princely states and were known for their grandeur and hospitality. In this photograph, the sons of Nadown Rajah are dressed in their finest attire, adorned with traditional Rajpoot jewelry and accessories. Their regal bearing and confident expressions convey a sense of nobility and pride. The backdrop of the image, with its lush greenery and serene landscape, adds to the ethereal beauty of the scene. This photograph is a precious ethnographic record of the Rajpoot people during the 19th century. It offers a glimpse into the lives of the indigenous populations of India, providing valuable insights into their customs, traditions, and way of life. The image is a testament to the rich and diverse cultural heritage of India and serves as a reminder of the country's fascinating history. The photograph was taken during the era of Lord Canning, who served as the Viceroy of India from 1856 to 1858. The series of photographic illustrations of the races and tribes of Hindustan, of which this image is a part, was published under his order. The series aimed to document the various ethnic groups of India, providing a visual record of the country's diverse population. This photograph, with its historical significance and ethnographic value, remains a valuable addition to any collection of Indian history or culture.
