EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating glimpse into the civilization of Assam at Udalguri in the 19th century. Taken by an English photographer, this image showcases the rich cultural heritage of India. The photograph is part of a private collection and was originally published as an illustration for The Graphic on April 16,1898. In this scene, we see various elements that define the essence of Assamese culture during that era. A British commissioner can be seen surrounded by Indian locals, including Bhutias, who were known for their distinctive attire made from broadcloth. This portrayal highlights the influence and presence of British colonialism in Assam. The image also offers insights into daily life in Udalguri. People are engaged in different activities such as paying money or receiving an annual subsidy while others enjoy a drink of rum. These details provide a snapshot of economic transactions and social interactions within this vibrant community. Through photography, we gain a visual understanding of how civilisation thrived in Assam during this period. It serves as a reminder not only of India's diverse cultural heritage but also its historical ties with Britain and Asia as a whole. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate the beauty and complexity found within Indian culture while offering valuable historical context to our modern world.
