EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of New Market in Calcutta (now Kolkata), West Bengal, India, during the 1910s. The image focuses on a goat meat stall, where two skilled butchers, identifiably Muslim by their traditional attire and head coverings, expertly butcher a goat carcass. The butchery follows the religious and cultural practice of Halal, ensuring the meat is prepared in accordance with Islamic law. The goat carcass is suspended from hooks, its body sectioned into various joints and cuts. The butchers deftly use large knives to chop the meat at a chopping block, skillfully separating the haunches, legs, and other desirable cuts. The rail in the background is laden with freshly butchered goat meat, ready to be sold to eager customers. European visitors, intrigued by the exotic sights and smells of the market, often documented these scenes, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural and culinary traditions of India. The traditional techniques used in this butchery have remained unchanged for generations, a testament to the enduring importance of meat in the Indian diet and the significance of religious and cultural practices in its preparation and consumption. This photograph offers a unique window into the past, revealing the vibrant and diverse food culture of Calcutta during the early 20th century. The goat meat stall at New Market stands as a symbol of the city's rich history and its continued commitment to preserving traditional practices and culinary traditions.
