EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the rich and storied history of hunting in India, showcasing the skill and determination of Indian hunters as they pursue a herd of deer through the dense forest. The image, taken in the late 19th or early 20th century, depicts three hunters in traditional Indian attire. One hunter rides on horseback, his eyes focused intently on the deer in the distance, while the other two hunters advance on foot, their lassos coiled and ready. The use of horses in Indian hunting dates back to ancient times, with evidence suggesting that equestrian hunting was practiced as early as the Indus Valley Civilization. The deer, a revered animal in Indian culture, was hunted not only for its meat and hide but also for its antlers, which were used in various rituals and decorative items. The hunters in this photograph are dressed in traditional Indian clothing, with the horseback rider wearing a turban and a long coat, while the foot hunters wear loose-fitting shirts and dhotis. Their faces are etched with concentration and determination, reflecting the intense focus required for a successful hunt. The use of lassos in Indian hunting is also an ancient practice, with the lasso being a versatile tool used for both hunting and cattle herding. The hunter on foot, in particular, is poised to throw his lasso with precision, aiming to ensnare the deer and bring it down. This photograph is a testament to the deep connection between the Indian people and the natural world, a connection that has been forged through centuries of hunting and coexistence with the wildlife that inhabits their lands. It is a reminder of a time when hunting was not just a sport but a way of life, a way to provide sustenance and preserve the balance of nature.
