EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a tense moment in the interior of a court house in the Kandian provinces of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) during the 1850s. A young Kandian woman, dressed in traditional clothing, stands before a judge and her husband, who is on the opposite side of the doorway. The man leaning against the door post is a native policeman, his comboy or native dress visible beneath his uniform. The scene presents a stark contrast between the colonial British administration and the local population. The courtroom, with its ornate woodwork and European furnishings, stands in stark contrast to the simple hut-like exterior of the building. The woman's complaint of mistreatment at the hands of her husband is a common issue in the patriarchal society of the time. The native policeman, a symbol of British rule in the region, is tasked with maintaining order and upholding the law. His presence in the courtroom underscores the power dynamic between the colonial rulers and the native population. The woman's plight, and the role of the policeman in this situation, highlight the complex racial and social issues that existed during the British colonial period in Ceylon. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of people during a time of significant change and upheaval. The image serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and complex history of Sri Lanka and its people.
