Bheels of the Vindhyan Range [at Sardarpur]. Malwah. Central India. Photographer: Waterhouse, James
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
Large group of fourteen men, variously armed with staves, bows and matchlocks.'...The fine group of the tribe presented here gives, perhaps, a better illustration of the men, their arms, appearance, and equipments, than any other. Three of the group have, it will be seen, matchlocks, but the rest have bows, the ancient tribal weapon. Some of the men belong to the Malwah Bheel corps, and seem smart, well set-up, young fellows; the rest are ordinary village Bheels.' Waterhouse's original notes state that all the men seen here were members of the Malwa Bhil Corps. For another copy of this photograph, with notes, see Photo 355/9 (28).
