Mahrattas. Hindoos. Indore. Photographer: Waterhouse, James
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
Full-length seated portrait of two men, photographed at the Holkar's Palace at Indore, in failing light: for notes on the dress and physical characteristics of the sitters, and the circumstances under which the photograph was taken, see the table in Government of India Foreign Consultations (General), July 1863 (IOR P/205/14), p. 40; see also Photo 355/9 (14). 'In manners, Mahrattas are neither courtly, nor pliant and graceful like other natives of India; and consequently, though no means intending rudeness, they are bluff, homely, and outspoken, knowing and practising little of the fluent flattery so offensive in others; but they are kindly withal, and most hospitable where well known: generous too, always to the best of their means...In every respect we think that the Mahrattas evince more character than any other people of India, except perhaps the Rajpoots; and are at present some of the most useful and loyal subjects of the crown.'
Subjects = ethnic groups; Mahrattas (caste); printed books; Watson and Kaye, 'People of India' (8 vols, 1868-75); Watson and Kaye, 'People of India' (vol 7, 1872)
