EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the early 20th century, a mother solemnly dedicates her young infant as a thief during a traditional ceremony in India. The scene unfolds in a rural setting, with the mother and child surrounded by a group of elders and onlookers. The mother, dressed in traditional Indian attire, holds her son close as she makes the sacred vow. The ceremony, known as "Zakha Khel" or "Thief's Blessing," was believed to bestow the child with the skills and protection needed to succeed in a life of crime. The practice of dedicating children to a life of thievery was not uncommon in certain communities of North India during the early 1900s. It was often seen as a way to provide for families living in poverty, as the children could earn a living through theft once they reached adulthood. However, the ceremony was also controversial and widely criticized by authorities and social reformers. This photograph, taken in 1910, offers a glimpse into a little-known aspect of Indian history and culture. It raises complex questions about the role of tradition, poverty, and societal expectations in shaping the lives of children and communities. Despite the challenges and controversies associated with the practice, the image also conveys a sense of community and connection, as the mother and child are surrounded by the support and guidance of their elders.
