EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the ornamental badge for men who were distinguished members of the Order of the Indian Empire (OIE), an esteemed British chivalric order established in 1877. The Order of the Indian Empire was created to recognize and reward outstanding civil and military services in India and its territories. The intricately designed badge, displayed here, is a testament to the rich history and grandeur of this prestigious order. The badge features a gong, symbolizing the sound of progress and civilization, encircled by a laurel wreath and surmounted by a crown. The motto of the Order, "For Merit in India," is inscribed in a scroll at the bottom. The badge is adorned with a star and a crown, signifying the knightly status of its members. The Order of the Indian Empire was a significant part of the British Indian colonial administration's heraldry, reflecting the chivalric values and traditions that were deeply ingrained in the British Empire. The Order of the Indian Empire was established on May 26, 1878, and was the younger sibling of the Order of the Star of India, which was founded in 1837. The Order of the Indian Empire was conferred upon a wide range of individuals, including governors, military officers, civil servants, and even artists and writers, who had made significant contributions to the British Empire in India. This ornamental badge serves as a reminder of the historical significance and grandeur of this esteemed order, which played a pivotal role in the British colonial administration in India.
