EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of young Pariah girls from the princely state of Travancore, India, taken pre-1900. The image offers a rare glimpse into the lives of this marginalized community during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The girls are pictured huddled around a lantern, their faces illuminated by its warm glow. Their simple, handwoven clothing and bare feet speak to their humble circumstances, while their curious expressions and playful demeanor suggest a sense of joy and innocence. The Travancore Pariahs, also known as Pulayas or Pulayas Nadar, were traditionally considered an outcaste group in Indian society. Despite facing social and economic discrimination, they have a rich cultural heritage and a strong sense of community. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of their history and resilience. The photograph is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The collection, which spans the late 19th and early 20th centuries, provides a valuable record of life in India during the British colonial period. This particular image offers a unique perspective on the experiences of a community often overlooked in historical narratives. The lantern, a common tool for providing light in the absence of electricity, adds to the vintage feel of the photograph and underscores the importance of community and connection in the face of adversity.
