Edward Prince of Wales' Tour of India: Bombay, Poona, Baroda, Jodhpur and Bikaner (1922)

Part of India on Film: 1899 - 1947

The future Edward VIII visits his Empire, with Indian royalty, elephants, palaces and temples.
Ten years after King George V's Coronation Durbar in India, the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII), extensively toured India and Burma (Myanmar). The Prince of Wales is welcomed at the Gateway of India in Bombay (Mumbai) with a guard of honour, and received by Indian royalty at a durbar. He visits Poona (Pune), the Gaekwad of Baroda, and Rajput royalty in Udaipur, amid spectacular palaces and elephants. He meets the Maharaja of Jodhpur and goes on a pig-sticking hunt; finally, he visits the Maharajah of Bikaner, amid the Camel Corps.
The Prince's India visit seems intended to familiarise him with the outposts of Empire - often more resplendent and exotic than back home - to underline his power over Indian royalty, and get a taste of Indian hospitality. The scenes of pig-sticking and child marriage may be troubling to modern viewers. The intertitles are deferential to British royalty, sometimes with patronising comments on the natives. This is one of a series of films shot during the tour by George Woods-Taylor; a compilation film was released under the title Our Greatest Ambassador.

The mob turned unruly and riots followed . The police opened fire . This turmoil of three days killed 59 people. " on pg 73 , Total history & Civics 10 icse 15th edition by morning star publications . well books aside it was lovely seeing the environment , people and an actual prince of that time.

[@greenamazon1751]

Opening fire on protesters was nothing new in British India.The protestors, protested for more rights, better pay and rights equal to their white rulers which never came to be. Force and brutality was always on the cards rather then reasoning. The Jallia wala bagh massacre is a prime example were people in Amritsar in 1919 were merely protesting for better rights but were shamelessly abd brutally gunned down by General Dyers forces in which 3000 plus people lost their lives. Dyer was so merciless that even the people trying to escape were gunned down. The crime was only protesting. The General got a away with it as you would expect during colonial rule as the Judge was White and in favour of the General who went back to England to live a happy retired life after ruining thr lives of thousands of families. There are many more examples of colonial brutalities during the British Raj aswell.

They found the culture quite common and used the term Indians for all these groups whom they saw following common culture. Western Asians defined us as HINDUS and our Country as HIND (hindu was never a name of any religion it was a geographical term given to people who lived in east of INDUS or SINDHU River) , even today in Turk and other countries they call India as Hind (which includes pakistan, nepal and bangladesh too) SO U ARE WRONG HERE !

This is the era in India in which my parents were born, both of whom later benefitted from obtaining medical and engineering degrees in the early 1940s from university colleges of medicine and engineering that had been built by the British some decades earlier. My mum and dad also said how clean and orderly cities like Mysore, Bombay and Karachi used to be under British rule. However, my parents, like me, found hunting abhorrent, either by the princes, maharajahs and sultans of India or the British rulers, or the hard life of the camels and elephants used in pagaentry or war, and so the hunting scene of wild boars at the end by "pigsticking" was a shock to me as I thought it was only a barbaric practice in USA.

Culprit ? When someone is attacking you,, defeated you by betray (+ politics) and is saying that either live happily and pay us tax,, or all of your people will be killed in a day.. What shall King choose ?? They chosed life of their people, because you don't know how hard it is for a hindu king with vedic values.. (For those kings, their people/praja came first & they accepted deal to save their people) .. But britishers captured the country like a heartless capitalist to leech every penny out of that.. They killed those what comes in their way of business.. This is why GDP of India dropped from 22% to 2% but because of those kings our saints, our temples, our ashrams and vedic knowledge is still alive to boost the country again..

The only good thing the British did is document life at that time so future generations can see India’s past.
