EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken in the late 19th century, showcases the Bhoota tribe of Chota Nagpur, an indigenous group residing in the present-day Indian states of Jharkhand and West Bengal. The Bhootas are considered an aboriginal community, known for their unique cultural practices and distinct ethnic identity. The image is taken from the series "The People of India: A Series of Photographic Illustrations, with Descriptive Letterpress, of the Races and Tribes of Hindustan," published under the order of the Viceroy, Lord Canning in the 1860s. This ethnographic collection aimed to document the diverse population of India during the British Raj. In this photograph, a Bhoota man is depicted wearing traditional attire, including a loincloth, a necklace made of beads, and a headgear adorned with feathers. His body is painted with intricate designs, possibly for religious or ceremonial purposes. The man holds a bow and arrow, suggesting his proficiency in hunting and survival skills. The Bhootas are known for their connection to nature and their belief in animistic spirits, which is reflected in their name, meaning 'ghost' or 'spirit' in local languages. Their lifestyle is deeply rooted in their ancestral traditions, which have survived through generations. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Bhoota tribe and the diverse ethnic tapestry of India during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the unique identities and histories of indigenous communities.
