EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a young Sinhalese boy serving as a golf caddy in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) during the early 1910s. The boy, barefoot and dressed in simple clothing, carries a heavy golf bag slung over his shoulders, while he gazes intently at the ground, seemingly focused on his task. In the background, a group of well-dressed European golfers can be seen playing on the lush green course, their backs turned towards the viewer. The photograph offers a glimpse into the colonial past of Sri Lanka, where Sinhalese children like this boy were often employed as caddies to assist European golfers. The image underscores the stark contrast between the privileged lifestyle of the colonial rulers and the hardships faced by the local population. Despite the challenging conditions, the boy's posture and expression suggest a sense of determination and pride in his work. The photograph also highlights the rich cultural diversity of Sri Lanka, where different communities coexisted under colonial rule. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the complex history of colonialism and its impact on the lives of ordinary people. It also underscores the enduring appeal of golf as a sport that transcends cultural and socio-economic boundaries, bringing people together on the green.
