India 100 years ago in pictures

It is after a lot of time that I am seeing such black and white pictures and it was great. But I wonder how the pictures have such a great clarity. That's great.

This is great to see those pictures. Really these are treasure and I wish if there could be some more photographs of great freedom fighters. :)

Here is a linkshowing how India looked one hundred years ago.

Black and white pictures are anyway more attractive when it comes to nostalgia, the pictures are beautiful and gives us a glimpse of life a hundred years ago, wish those days come back again ! life was much more simple and less complicated and definitely not as stressful as it is now..

Beautiful photos from the era of British India! Things look so different and far removed from what we know now!

Amazing photos. I have visited many historical places and tried to wonder about the ancient India. This pictures are interesting too.

Yes I remember this news item in a newspaper a couple of month back that disclosed the shoe box containing great pictures. Thanks for sharing here.

Thank you very much! I just wanted to see if my guess was correct and it is indeed! I guessed that the pictures were from Calcutta and the link does say they are from Calcutta, btw the box was found in Edinburgh, Scotland!! :cheer:
