EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, taken in the late 19th century, captures the Magar group, a military tribe from Nepal, during an ethnographic tour of India. The Magars are an indigenous people with a rich history and distinct ethnicity, and were renowned for their military prowess. They have been traditionally settled in the western and mid-western regions of Nepal, with some populations extending into India. During the Victorian era, the British Raj, under the order of Lord Canning, undertook an extensive ethnographic documentation of the diverse races and tribes of Hindustan. This photograph is a testament to that initiative, providing a grand historical record of the Magar tribe in their traditional attire and with their weapons. The Magars are depicted here in a group, showcasing their camaraderie and unity, as they proudly display their martial skills. The photograph, with its vintage charm and old-world appeal, transports us back to a time when travel was an adventure, and ethnographic tours were a popular means of exploring the diverse cultures and peoples of India. The Magar group, with their distinctive features and traditional attire, stand out as a proud representation of Nepal's rich ethnic tapestry, offering a glimpse into the lives of the indigenous tribes of the region during the 19th century.
