EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment of the second meeting between Lord Canning, the British Governor-General of India, and Maharajah Rumbeer Singh of Cashmere (now known as Kashmir), which took place on the 9th of March, 1860, at Sealkote. The image portrays the mutual respect and admiration between the two dignitaries. Lord Canning's first visit to Cashmere in 1858 was marked by the signing of the Treaty of Amritsar, which established British suzerainty over the region. During his second visit, Lord Canning sought to strengthen the alliance between the British and the Maharajah, recognizing the strategic importance of Cashmere in the context of the expanding British Empire in India. Maharajah Rumbeer Singh, also known as Ranbir Singh, was a formidable ruler who had successfully defended his kingdom against various invasions. He was known for his military prowess and his commitment to modernizing his kingdom. The interview between the two leaders was an opportunity for them to discuss matters of mutual interest, including trade, diplomacy, and defense. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of India during the British Raj, with Lord Canning dressed in formal British attire and Maharajah Rumbeer Singh adorned in traditional Indian clothing. The backdrop of the lush greenery and the serene surroundings of Sealkote Palace adds to the grandeur of the scene. This photograph is a testament to the complex and intricate relationships that existed between the British and Indian rulers during the colonial era. It serves as a reminder of the historical significance of Cashmere and the role it played in the larger political landscape of India during the 19th century.
