EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "A Subaltern's Journey through the Rollercoaster of Emotions during the Russian War Scare in India". This print from the Liszt Collection captures a series of moments that depict a subaltern's experiences during the recent Russian war scare in India. The image sequence begins with jubilation as his leave to England is granted, symbolizing hope and excitement for a much-needed break. However, fate takes an unexpected turn as he sells all his possessions and engages in a final chat with his brother officers before embarking on a long night journey by rail. The photograph then reveals him awakening early in the morning, filled with awe and rapture at the sight of the open sea. Yet, just hours later, everything changes when he receives a telegram informing him that all leave has been stopped and he must return immediately. Chaos ensues as telegraph messengers rush to deliver this news, leading to an abrupt departure from the ship without any belongings except for his cabin baggage. Amidst amusement from fellow officers about his predicament, our protagonist finds solace in soldier-like resilience while contemplating how peace can come at such great personal cost. Echoing within is the realization that there may be no compensation forthcoming from anyone but himself. This thought-provoking print encapsulates not only one individual's turbulent journey but also reflects upon larger themes of sacrifice, uncertainty, and resilience faced by those serving their country during times of war scares or conflicts.
