EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Infanticide in India, as Practised in the Temples of Canesa". This haunting print captures a horrifying scene within the sacred walls of an Indian temple. Created by T Jeavons, this image is part of Reverend James Gardner's comprehensive work on religious practices titled "The Faiths of the World". The photograph showcases a dome-shaped interior where men are depicted engaging in infanticide, a practice deeply rooted in ancient Indian culture. The composition evokes a sense of shock and disbelief as it confronts viewers with the grim reality faced by innocent children. The monochrome tones intensify the somber atmosphere, emphasizing the gravity of this cultural phenomenon. It serves as a stark reminder that religion can sometimes be entangled with dark rituals and traditions. While difficult to witness, this print sheds light on an important aspect of India's history and religious beliefs. It prompts contemplation about how faith can shape society's norms and values, even when they clash with modern ethical standards. As we reflect upon this distressing image captured by T Jeavons' lens, we are compelled to acknowledge both our shared humanity and our duty to protect vulnerable lives. This powerful visual testament serves as a call for compassion and understanding while urging us to challenge harmful practices that persist within certain corners of our world today.
