EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Bukiyanas, Rajpoots, now Mussulmans, Googaira, Mooltan" takes us back to the 19th century in India. The image showcases a group of distinguished men dressed in traditional Islamic attire. The sepia-toned print beautifully captures the essence of their culture and heritage. Each man stands or sits with pride and dignity as they hold onto their walking sticks made from bamboo. These walking sticks not only serve as accessories but also symbolize wisdom and authority. Their costumes are intricately designed with exquisite details that reflect their rich cultural background. From head to toe, these individuals proudly wear garments that represent their Muslim identity. The photographer has skillfully composed this portrait, allowing us to observe each individual's unique features and expressions. Their eyes tell stories of resilience and strength while hinting at the challenges faced by their community during that era. This photograph is part of "The People of India" series by J. Forbes Watson published in 1868. It offers a glimpse into the diverse communities residing within Mooltan (now Multan), showcasing how different ethnic groups have embraced Islam over time. As we admire this historical piece captured by an English photographer from the 19th century, it serves as a reminder of the beauty found within diversity and highlights the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations to appreciate.
