EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of an intelligent and proud Indian Orderly, elegantly dressed in the traditional attire of a turban and formal vest, skillfully holding a ledger or book in one hand and a pen in the other. The Orderly's attentive gaze and posture exude an air of professionalism and dedication, reflecting the important role he played in the households and establishments of the British colonial elite during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Indian subcontinent was a major source of manpower for the British colonial administration, with thousands of Indians serving as orderlies, butlers, valets, and domestic help in British households and institutions. Sikhs, with their distinctive turbans and military background, were particularly favored for such roles due to their disciplined and loyal nature. This photograph offers a glimpse into the complex history of colonialism and its impact on the lives of individuals from the Indian subcontinent. The Indian Orderly's smart appearance and attentiveness belie the often-unacknowledged power dynamics and social hierarchies that underpinned the colonial relationship. The book or ledger he holds may represent the records of the household or estate he served, or it could symbolize his own pursuit of knowledge and education. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich and complex history of the Indian diaspora and the important roles that Indians played in shaping the colonial world. It invites us to reflect on the complexities of the colonial past and the enduring legacies of colonialism in contemporary society.
