Lohana Amils. Hindoos. Sind. Photographer: Tanner, Henry Charles Baskerville
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
Photograph probably by Tanner, possibly by William Robert Houghton. Oval image. Three-quarter length portrait of three figures, one standing, two seated. The two prints of Lohana Amils (323 and 323b) have been mounted in the wrong order. 'Captain Burton [History of Sind (1847)] draws a very unfavourable character of these persons, who held office under the Ameers as managers of provinces, and in other administrative capacities...The individual seated on the right of the picture is Munga Ram, head moonshee in the office of the Commissioner of Sind...His integrity has been hitherto unquestioned as his hard work has been unmistakeable. He is a very worthy public servant. In the centre of the picture, standing, is Odha Ram, translator to the Commissioner's office, who has studied English sufficiently to make him the best Sindee teacher in the province...The boy on the left is now an English clerk in the Commissioner's office, who does credit to the Hyderabad English school in which he was educated.'
