The British left the Indian soil decades ago but stories of their destructive colonial rule have been passed down through generations. While they plundered our natural resources and wealth for almost over two centuries, hats off to the European scholars, who captured the Indian subcontinent through their rudimentary cameras mounted up on tripods.

While some did it as part of their jobs with the East India Company, some did it out of sheer passion for a mysterious new country they were now calling home. While we may not have been witness to these times of turmoil and upheaval, a new photographic print exhibition titled One Hundred Vintage Views Of India will take you a wee bit closer to the past.
