EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a significant moment in the annals of Freemasonry and Anglo-Indian relations as His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, performs the ceremonial laying of the foundation stone for the Indian Institute in Oxford on September 20, 1883. The Prince, who served as the Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England, donned his Masonic regalia for the occasion, further emphasizing the deep-rooted connection between Freemasonry and the British monarchy. The Indian Institute, established in 1884, was a center for the study of Indian culture, language, and history. Its foundation was a testament to the growing interest in India during the British colonial era and the desire to foster a better understanding between the two nations. The Institute played a pivotal role in promoting academic exchange and intellectual discourse between India and the United Kingdom. The photograph, published on the front cover of the Illustrated London News, captures the grandeur and solemnity of the event. Surrounded by distinguished guests and Freemasons, the Prince of Wales wields a golden trowel to place the foundation stone, symbolizing the beginning of a new era in the study of Indian culture and the strengthening of Anglo-Indian ties. This photograph is an invaluable record of a pivotal moment in the history of Freemasonry, Anglo-Indian relations, and academic exchange. It offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the rich tapestry of connections that have shaped the world we live in today.
