EDITORS COMMENTS
The Black Hole Monument at Dalhousie Square in Calcutta stands as a somber reminder of one of the darkest chapters in Indian history. The monument, originally erected to commemorate the victims of the infamous Black Hole of Calcutta incident in 1756, was moved to St. John's Church cemetery in July 1940.
The Black Hole of Calcutta refers to a small dungeon where British prisoners were held captive by Siraj ud Daulah, the Nawab of Bengal. The overcrowded and sweltering conditions led to the deaths of many prisoners, making it a symbol of colonial oppression and cruelty.
This print captures the solemnity and historical significance of this monument, which serves as a poignant memorial to those who lost their lives during this tragic event. The intricate architecture and detailed sculpture work on the monument reflect the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of India.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in Indian history that shaped its future trajectory. It is a stark reminder of the atrocities committed during colonial rule and serves as a testament to the resilience and strength of the Indian people.
