Caste Castes Check Hindu Hinduism Maratha Ruling
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photographic postcard, dated circa 1904, presents a Maratha family, a prominent Hindu Kshatriya (warrior) group and historical ruling class in India. The Marathas, known for their military prowess and rich cultural heritage, are depicted here in their traditional attire, exuding an air of elegance and refinement. In the center, the father figure dons a formal suit, signifying his high social standing, while his wife, dressed in vibrant and intricately designed Indian clothing, sits gracefully beside him. Their young son, dressed in traditional Maratha attire, sits on his father's lap, gazing intently at the camera with a curious expression. The Maratha caste, a significant component of Hindu society, has a long and storied history in Indian politics and culture. Originating in the western part of the Indian subcontinent, the Marathas rose to power in the 17th century and established the Maratha Empire, which lasted until the late 18th century. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of a Maratha family during the early 20th century, a time when traditional Indian customs and Western influences began to intermingle. The image captures the essence of a family bound by their heritage, traditions, and social status, as they navigate the changing world around them.
