EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Lady Hardinge, Winifred Selina Sturt Hardinge (1868-1914), a prominent figure in British colonial India during the early 20th century. Lady Hardinge was the cousin and wife of Charles Hardinge, 1st Baron Hardinge of Penshurst, a distinguished British diplomat and statesman who served as Viceroy of India from 1910 to 1916. In this image, Lady Hardinge is seen laying the foundation stone of a groundbreaking institution - the Lady Hardinge Medical College for Women in Delhi, on 17 March 1914. The college, which was established during the British Raj, was a significant step forward for women's education in India. It was completed in 1916 and named in her honor. Lady Hardinge's commitment to women's education was a reflection of her aristocratic upbringing and her belief in the importance of empowering women through education. Her actions were a testament to the role that the British upper class played in shaping the colonial education system in India. The photograph captures the moment of history in the making, with Lady Hardinge dressed in her elegant colonial attire, surrounded by dignitaries and onlookers. The image offers a glimpse into the colonial past, highlighting the complexities of British rule in India and the impact of colonialism on women's education. Lady Hardinge's legacy continues to inspire, as the Lady Hardinge Medical College remains a respected institution in Delhi, dedicated to providing quality medical education to women. This photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of the British Raj on India's history and the role of women in shaping it.
