Our Indian Contingent at Malta
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a vibrant and diverse scene from the past, showcasing the camaraderie and daily routines of an Indian military group stationed in Malta. The engraving, created by John Charles Dollman in 1878, offers a fascinating glimpse into this historical moment. In this lively image, we see members of the contingent engaging in various activities. Some are engaged in gymnastics exercises, testing their physical prowess and agility. Others gather around for a friendly morning mess or enjoy moments of relaxation while smoking pipes. The band plays energetically nearby, adding to the festive atmosphere. The composition also highlights cultural exchanges as soldiers from different backgrounds interact with one another. Gurkhas and Indians mingle with European counterparts amidst military camps adorned with ladders and bubble-like structures. This harmonious blend reflects the unity within diversity that characterizes such contingents. Notably present is Prince of Wales himself, witnessing these scenes unfold before him during his visit to Malta. His presence adds an air of importance to this gathering. This print not only showcases military life but also provides insights into social interactions between different cultures during that era. It serves as a testament to the rich history shared between India and Europe while reminding us of our collective journey towards understanding and friendship across borders.
