EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the poignant image of a young girl belonging to the Rodiya Caste in Sri Lanka. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this powerful portrait is part of a private collection. The girl's nudity serves as a stark reminder of her social status as an outcast within her community. The Rodiya Caste, considered untouchables in Sri Lankan society, faced immense discrimination and were marginalized throughout history. This photograph sheds light on their struggles and challenges faced by those living on the fringes of society. With bare breasts exposed, the girl's vulnerability is palpable. Her gaze meets ours with a mix of innocence and resilience, inviting us to contemplate her story and empathize with her circumstances. The monochromatic tones add depth to this historical piece, emphasizing its timeless significance. As we delve into Sri Lanka's rich history through this postcard from early 20th century Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka), we are confronted with uncomfortable truths about class divisions and social hierarchies that persist even today. This image serves as a testament to both the power of photography as a medium for storytelling and our responsibility to confront societal injustices that have plagued communities like the Rodiya caste for generations.
