Hey Guys I was searching for old rare paintings of/related with Punjab/Sikh/jatts and incidentally found these two paintings.
This first painting is supposed to be the original:
Description: Evening ride of H.H. The Maharajah Shere Singh at Omritsar, in the Punjab, near Lahore, March 1842. Coloured and gilded lithograph.
Illustrator: Dickinson & Son, after Saltuikov, Aleksyei, D. Prince
Production: c.1848
source: Picture of 'Ride of the Maharajah ' - British Library Images Online
Now look at the second pic which is the copy of original drawing:
Description: Lithograph of Sher Singh the Maharaja of the Punjab and his entourage out hunting on elephants and horses and passing a group of ascetics near Lahore by L.H. de Rudder (1807-1881) after an original drawing of April 1842 by Prince Aleksandr Mikhailovich Saltuikov and published in Paris in 1848.
source: Chir Singh maharaja des Siks roi du Punjab avec sa suite. (Lahore, Avril 1842.)

Now if u look at it closely, in the second pic a man has been shown as hanged(in the background)
Why has the painter added this hanged man in the second image which has been copied from the original ?, whereas there is no image of this kind in the original pic
Now i don't want to sound paranoid but r the brits deliberately distorting history of Sikhs/Punjabis/Jatts by showing that Maharaja Sher Singh Sandhu used to hang the ascetics while going on hunting.
Also they show these kind of reproduced images in the exhibitions which in this case is not showing the true picture but infact a distorted one.
What do u guys think ??
