EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1902, showcases a group of young Indian girls and women gracefully riding bicycles in traditional attire, challenging the norms of the time. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past when the Western influence began to shape Indian culture. The girls and women in the photograph are dressed in their traditional Indian outfits, which have been modified to accommodate cycling. Their sarees and salwar kameez have been hitched up, revealing their ankles and allowing them to ride on standard frame bicycles without the encumbrance of skirts. The riders' focused expressions and the ease with which they maneuver their bicycles suggest that they have mastered this new mode of transportation. Despite the non-PC nature of the image, it is a testament to the tenacity and adaptability of the Indian people in the face of cultural change. The photograph also highlights the role of women in Indian society, who were beginning to assert their independence and challenge societal norms. The image is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era, where the old and the new coexisted, and where tradition and modernity intersected in unexpected ways. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of India and the resilience of its people in the face of change.
