EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the bustling rice market of Rangoon, Myanmar (then known as Burma), circa 1907. The Indian rice merchants, Lakhmichand Manikchand, are prominently displayed in the foreground, surrounded by piles of rice sacks and engaged in animated discussions. The brothers Lakhmichand and Manikchand, both wearing traditional turbans, were key figures in the higher echelons of the rice trade during this period. Their company, Lukhmichand Manekchand, was renowned for its extensive trading networks and business acumen. The photograph offers a glimpse into the vibrant commercial activity of the time, with Burmese locals and other merchants milling about in the background. Notably, an insurance broker, likely representing the Eastern Company, is seen in the front row, subtly advertising his services to the merchants. This suggests the importance of risk management in the rice trade, reflecting the economic complexities of the region. The Indian community played a significant role in the economic development of Burma, particularly in the rice trade. Their influence extended beyond the markets, shaping the cultural and social fabric of the city. This photograph offers a fascinating window into the past, revealing the dynamic interplay of commerce, culture, and community in Rangoon during the early 20th century.
