Subadar Major Judbhir Thapa, a Resolute Symbol of Gurkha Valor in the British Raj
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This oil painting from 1893 depicts Subadar Major Judbhir Thapa, an esteemed member of the 2nd Gurkha Regiment during the era of the British Raj. Painted by Gertrude Ellen Burrard, this portrait captures Subadar Major Thapa's commanding presence and dignified countenance. Dressed in his immaculate military uniform, adorned with medals and insignias that reflect his bravery and service to the Crown, Subadar Major Thapa stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of Gurkha soldiers. His half-length pose exudes confidence and strength while hinting at a deeper story behind those piercing eyes. As one gazes upon this colonial-era masterpiece, it is impossible not to be transported back in time to an era when India was under British rule. The painting serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics between colonizer and colonized but also highlights individuals like Subadar Major Thapa who played crucial roles within these power structures. With its rich Victorian aesthetic and meticulous attention to detail, this artwork encapsulates both historical significance and artistic brilliance. Preserved by London's National Army Museum, it offers viewers a glimpse into an important chapter in Indian history. Subadar Major Judbhir Thapa's portrait remains an enduring symbol of courage, loyalty, and resilience—a tribute not only to him but also to all those who served alongside
