EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the bustling heart of colonial Calcutta (now Kolkata) in the early 1910s, as depicted in this evocative photograph of the Interior of Bazaar, Fort William. The vibrant scene is filled with a cacophony of sights, sounds, and smells as native assistants and salesmen attend to a diverse clientele. The Bazaar at Fort William, a British military cantonment and fort in Calcutta, was a hub of trade and commerce during the British Raj. This image captures the bustling atmosphere of the bazaar, with its rows of sales counters and displays, each manned by attentive assistants. The intricately carved wooden cupboards and cases, filled with an array of goods, attest to the rich cultural exchange between India and the British Empire. The men in European attire, with their stern expressions and meticulous handling of merchandise, represent the colonial power. Meanwhile, the native assistants, dressed in traditional Indian clothing, deftly navigate the crowded space, catering to the needs of their customers. The diverse clientele, a mix of European and Indian men, underscores the multicultural fabric of Calcutta during this period. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the complex interplay of power dynamics, cultural exchange, and commerce that characterized the British Raj in India during the early 1900s.
