Malwi Bunneas. Hindoo. Central India. [Indore.] Photographer: Waterhouse, James
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
Group of nine seated and standing men, all dressed in white muslin. Waterhouse's own notes state that these men are 'of Indore'. '...They are the same in character, in life, in occupation, in speculation, and it may be added, in extertionate transactions all over Malwah and Central India, as they are in the Deccan or wherever else they are met with. In Malwah they have opium to deal in, and can speculate as they please with Bombay, and make time bargains, their favorite mode of dealing. They make advances to village cultivators for the growth of poppy fields, and take the opium according to agreement, which is but too often extortionate. Every one complains of them, official reports are full of their hard practices with the people; and yet, where there are no local banks of banking operations, the people would perhaps do worse with out the Marwarrees...'
