EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, showcases a proud and noble member of the Bujgotees tribe, a sub-group of the Rajpoots, who were once powerful rulers in northern India. The Rajpoots, an influential Hindu community, have a rich and ancient history, tracing their lineage back to legendary heroes and rulers. The Bujgotees, with their distinctive cultural practices and traditional attire, are a testament to the diverse and vibrant ethnographic landscape of India during the Victorian era. In this image, the man wears the traditional Rajpoot dress, which includes a long, flowing robe known as a kurta, a turban, and intricate jewelry. His face bears the wisdom and gravity of a man who has lived through many generations, his eyes reflecting the deep-rooted traditions and values of his community. The photograph, taken from the series "The People of India: A Series of Photographic Illustrations, with Descriptive Letterpress, of the Races and Tribes of Hindustan," was commissioned by Lord Canning, the Viceroy of India, in the 1860s. This collection aimed to document the various races and tribes of India, providing a historical record of the diverse population of the subcontinent. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, offering us a glimpse into the grand and historic era of the 19th century, and the rich tapestry of the Bujgotees' culture and heritage.
