EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of the Ghurkas, a renowned regiment of Nepalese soldiers, as they embarked on a perilous journey to Burma in 1886 to help quell an insurgency. Amidst the bustling crowd and the chaotic scene of the soldiers preparing to set off, an offering to the gods is being made to ward off the looming threat of cholera. The Ghurkas, known for their bravery and resilience, were often deployed in British colonial campaigns across Asia, and this expedition was no exception. The long and arduous route to Burma was fraught with danger, and the soldiers knew that they would be facing not only the enemy on the battlefield but also the deadly epidemic that was spreading rapidly. In this image, a battalion of Ghurkas can be seen gathered around a sacrificial altar, with cattle and goats being prepared for the ritual. The soldiers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms and armed with their weapons, offer prayers and perform the rituals to appease the gods and seek their protection against the cholera. This historical photograph is a powerful reminder of the deep-rooted beliefs and traditions of the Ghurkas, who have a rich cultural heritage that has shaped their identity and their role in the military. It also underscores the importance of faith and community during times of crisis and the lengths to which people have gone to protect themselves from the scourge of epidemics and plagues. The photograph, taken in 1886, is a testament to the resilience and courage of the Ghurkas, who have continued to serve in the British and other foreign armies with distinction, even in the face of adversity and danger.
