Luxagraf

This is great site for anyone interested in seeing what south Asia looked like circa 1900-1920. Actually it’s a good bit more than that, but since I happen to be writing about that area, at that time, that’s what I’ve been drawn to — photos and film of pre-1930 India.

But really that’s selling the site a bit short, it covers a huge swath of history. In addition to the archival photos and film footage, there’s a a ton of other media, most of it dating from before independence in India and Pakistan.

Most of us in the west, myself included, don’t know a whole lot about the ancient Indus Valley and this site offers a fascinating glimpse at the history, culture and art of the people in the region. Highly recommended reading/viewing.
