EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the fierce and proud demeanor of the men and boys of the hill tribes from the Malabar region of southern India, dating back to the 1910s. The region, situated between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea, is known for its diverse and indigenous populations, many of whom have lived in isolation from the mainstream Indian society for centuries. The men in this image are depicted in traditional attire, adorned with intricate body tattoos and wearing turbans or headgear. They carry bows and quivers filled with arrows, a testament to their warrior heritage and the importance of archery in their culture. The boys, too, are seen practicing with bows and arrows, suggesting that archery skills were passed down from generation to generation. The Malabar region has a rich and complex history, with various hill tribes inhabiting different parts of the area. Some of the most notable tribes include the Kadars, Kattunayakans, and Irulas. These tribes have long been known for their self-sufficient and isolated way of life, living in the hilly and forested terrain and subsisting on agriculture and hunting. Despite the passage of time and the encroachment of modernity, the hill tribes of Malabar continue to preserve their unique customs and traditions. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their proud and resilient spirit, as well as the rich cultural heritage of southern India.
