EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 19th century photograph captures the image of an Indian Barburdar, or steward, dressed in traditional attire. The man, with a serious expression, wears a pink turban adorned with intricate gold embroidery, a white shirt, and a long scarf draped around his shoulders. His hands are folded in front of him, suggesting a sense of calm and readiness for duty. The backdrop of the image is a lush, green garden filled with vibrant flowers, adding a touch of beauty and serenity to the scene. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of India during the colonial era, showcasing the unique blend of Eastern and Western influences. The Indian Barburdar played a vital role in the households of European colonizers, managing various tasks related to the upkeep of the estate and the care of their families. Despite the subservient position, the Barburdar's attire and accessories were often a reflection of his pride and dignity. The turban, a symbol of power and authority in Indian culture, was worn by the Barburdars to assert their status and identity. This photograph is a testament to the complex and intricate relationship between the East and the West during the colonial era, highlighting the interplay of power, culture, and tradition. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and diverse cultural influences that have shaped the world we live in today.
