Indian Native Doctors at Hampton Court Palace, June 1902: A Glimpse into Colonial Medical Practices This evocative photograph captures a group of Indian native doctors, dressed in traditional attire, assembled at Hampton Court Palace in June 1902. The doctors are seen in the foreground, with their tents and medical equipment set up in the background. The palace, a historic royal residence in England, served as a temporary hospital and encampment for the Indian medical team, who were stationed there to provide medical care to British soldiers and officers during the annual inspection of the colonial army. The Indian doctors, wearing turbans and traditional garments, are seen in deep conversation with each other, while some attend to patients lying on cots or mats. The medical equipment, including bandages, surgical instruments, and medicines, is arranged neatly on tables, ready for use. In the background, British army officers and soldiers can be seen milling about, some with swords slung over their shoulders, while others are engaged in various activities. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the colonial medical practices of the early 1900s, where Indian doctors played a crucial role in providing medical care to the British troops. The use of traditional healing practices alongside Western medicine was a common practice during this period, reflecting the complex interplay of cultures and medical traditions in the colonial context. The image also underscores the importance of medical care in maintaining the health and well-being of the colonial army, which was a key component of British imperial power and dominance.
