EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a Meena man from the Indian subcontinent during the early 19th century, engaged in the traditional pursuit of archery and hunting. Dressed in white clothing and adorned with a turban, he embodies the proud and ancient heritage of the Meena caste, a community of Hindus renowned for their skills in archery and hunting. With a bow in one hand and an arrow poised in the other, the man is prepared for the hunt. The quiver slung across his back holds additional arrows, ensuring a plentiful supply for the day's hunt. A loyal hunting dog accompanies him, its keen senses and unwavering loyalty enhancing the man's abilities in the field. This photograph is taken from a collection of letters written in a Maratha camp during the year 1809, and was published in 1813. The Marathas were a powerful military confederacy in India during the late medieval and early modern periods, known for their mastery of archery and cavalry. This image offers a glimpse into the daily life and traditions of the Meena community during a time when such skills were highly valued. The Meenas, also known as the Meo or Mewaris, are an ethnic group with a rich history and diverse cultural practices. Their origins can be traced back to the medieval Rajput kingdoms of India, and they continue to be an integral part of the social fabric of the Indian subcontinent today. This photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring traditions and customs that have shaped the lives of communities in India for centuries.
