EDITORS COMMENTS
Hindu Ayahs, c1910. This print captures a glimpse into the lives of Hindu Ayahs during the colonial period in India. The term 'Ayahs' referred to Indian women who worked as nannies for British families residing in the country. Posed with grace and dignity, these women stand tall in their traditional saris, showcasing the vibrant colors and intricate patterns that adorn their attire. Taken inside a photographic studio, this hand-coloured image adds an enchanting touch to an already mesmerizing scene. Each detail has been meticulously tinted by skilled hands, bringing life to every fold of fabric and enhancing the beauty of these remarkable women. In this portrait, we witness not only a profession but also a reflection of religious beliefs and cultural heritage. Hinduism shines through as they proudly wear symbols representing their faith - from delicate necklaces to sacred markings on their foreheads. This photograph is not just about individuals; it speaks volumes about an era when India was under British rule. It serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics between colonizers and those who served them faithfully yet retained their own identity. As we gaze upon this postcard from over a century ago, we are transported back in time – witnessing strength, resilience, and tradition embodied by these remarkable Hindu Ayahs.
