On 26th August, 1955 released Satyajit Ray's directorial debut film, Pather Panchali (Song of the Little Road). It was the first film from independent India to attract major international critical attention, it won India's National Film Award for Best Feature Film in 1955, the Best Human Document award at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival, and several other awards. It is often featured in lists of the greatest films ever made.

From my personal archive- Officers and soldiers from the Bhopal State Forces. Circa 1936

A list of passengers from SS Kaisar-e-Hind. Leaving Bombay on the 12th of September 1925 for Marseilles & London.

From my personal archive - An invitation card extended on the behalf of the Viceroy & Governor General of India by the Commisioner of Agra. Dated 25 November, 1890.

This particular card was addressed to Mr. Abdul Aziz Khan from Bariley, a descendant of Hafiz Rehmat Khan Barech (Regent of Rohailkhand)

So I found a bunch of old newspapers, documents, letters and a map dating all the way back to the 1960s. I found this news article about a murder and it seems back then they used to stuff the bodies in steel boxes, now they use trolley bags. The mindset of the criminals haven't changed, just the bag upgraded.

PS - I didn't know where to post this. Posted it here since it is the sub for old india

This is where the only place to connect immediately with people, those days...
