A summer garden party in 1920s Calcutta - Indian high society enjoy themselves at a Calcutta garden party held to welcome the new Viceroy, Lord Irwin.
This film gave Indian cinema audiences the chance to rub shoulders with India's elite and catch a glimpse of the men who ruled their country - and their families. We see not one but two Viceroys: Lord Irwin (shown in the first table shots) became Viceroy in April 1926 after Lord Lytton (who was Governor of Bengal and is seen in the second table shot) filled the post on a temporary basis.
The party was held at Belvedere House, the Viceregal residence before India's capital was moved from Calcutta to Delhi in 1911. While we can name the key British figures in the film, the identity of the Indian guests is unknown, nor does the film identify them.
The film was likely to have been made by Madan Theatres Ltd., an Indian cinema chain. Later shots show Lady Dorothy Wood (Irwin's wife) and Lytton's wife Pamela as well as their children, Ann Wood and Anthony and Davina Bulwar-Lytton, who are seated at a 'children's table' along with an Indian royal prince. In spite of these festivities, Irwin's period as viceroy was not easy as he oversaw intense Indian protests for further political devolution and was forced to negotiate with Gandhi to bring the nationwide Civil Disobedience movement to an end.

This is a really great piece of history, the Indian lady at 1.10 and 2.28 is now other than the Maharani Indira devi of Cooch Behar ,she was the daughter off the Gaekwar of Baroda and married one of the princes off Cooch Behar how would become Maharaja after his elder brother died. Indira devi was also the mother off Gayatri devi how married the Maharaja off Jaipur. The royal family of Cooch Behar owned property in Kolkata (Calcutta) named 'Woodlands' wich was just across the street from 'Belvedere' the Viceroys official residence.
Thnx Edgar for this information
It was the betrayal of erstwhile maharajas that destroyed rich India and made Britishers what they are today. Had there not been India during 2nd world war, Britain would have been in mess till today
all are traitors in this video, they didn't deserve this luxury, while half of the India was suffering due to heavy tax and poverty! ... we should all hate these so called kings and princess ...jai bhagat Singh.
I am from kolkata , I stay near Alipore, I have passed several times beside Belvedere place but did not know the history of it. Viceroy and once governor of Bengal had stayed there . Presently if I am not wrong , DGP of Bengal owns this place.Still it is a resitricted place to the common people.
Thanks
Thanks for Information
@ technlogy Belvedere palace was constructed around 1760 and once resided by Warren Hastings, first de facto Governor-General of Bengal . From 1854 to 1911 the Belvedere housed a number of lieutenant governors. In 1926 I am not sure about its status but most likely it was office of Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal. The main building seen in the video is under the care of the Archaeological Survey of India. It's not the residence of DGP.
The complex now includes within it, two housing colonies built by the government, one being for National Library of India employees, and the other for central government employees. Presently the major portion of the Belvedere Estate houses National Library of India. While a small portion (the housing complex built later) of Belvedere Estate is being used as residential complex for senior Central Government employees.
@@Satyaprakash81102 Thanks a Lot.Much information appreciated
Thanks apke batane ka yeh konsi jagha hai
I really wonder how those Brits wore layers of coats on hot summer in India
Actually climate change took catastrophic shape in 21st Century during British Raj India did not face air pollution/weather amendment in catastrophic manner.
Gosh the days when they used to think tea was a luxury🙄
The same day when peasants used to think that eating potatoes was a luxury.
After seeing this video I appreciate todays India even more. In this video we get to see some of the most modern women of India who have been brought up with british culture. Today we get to see all the women are almost the same modern. Considering the fact at that time she was very rare than other women in India. India has come a long way since then when our people are just not only mare coolies and manual labour but are in executive positions.
Amazing stuff.
Most Indian maharajah betrayal India with Britain 🇬🇧,
True ! And he was one of the dirtiest mind maharaja of india who has over 365 women in his 'POSSESSION'.
@@saintsoldier5671 which maharaja are you talking about?
And Sikh's too
That was the different era for sure.
This documentary was titled Viceroy’s Garden Party at Bevedere made by Madan Theatres Ltd. and censor certificate as (Calcutta-8345/500 feet/23 December 1926)
Imagine at the same moments, some freedom fighter would have been dying for our nation, and these so called Indian kings were enjoying luxury time with British
Nice pictures indeed !
Nice to see old memories.
God bless the maharajahs of India who supported the British and prevented bloodshed.
What? They are traitors
Maharajas were traitors who collaborated with British to enjoy luxurious life, they will not be revered and respected as Bhagat Singh and Subash Chander Bose.
Wish I could hear them. What type of conversation did they have, the topics of conversation, etc.
Probably shits and giggles people usually do
"Oi, Indrani, remember Joanna? Yeah, I saw her with Richard."
"Why, wasn't she with Will?"
"I know! I wouldn't be surprised if she was courting both at the same time, that wanton woman!"
"Oh, keep up with the times; it's 1926, for heavens sake!"
"Eh, I just don't like her with Richard"
"Oooh, somebody has a liking for Richard! Would you like to be referred to as 'Mrs. Richard' from now on?"
"Oh, stop!" *blushes*

Only the power of Almighty God remain rest all mortal and finish ! Indeed a sign for those who think
Beautiful
Video bnane walo ka thx
Wow just like yesterday
There was no india before 1947
Aah! Those days of civilisation!
Z.
these all are assholes traitors in video... enjoying lust nd luxury while half of the india were dying of poverty
I think party was going on at Patiala Sheesh Mahal ??
Hanji right
No..In Kolkata
The traitors were enjoying the sweet fruits of closeness to power during British Raj, and are enjoying today in so called today's democracy. Have we really achieved independence? Or achieved just a self rule?
OH MY FRIEND I COULDN'T AGREE MORE ON THAT AS U R ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ABOUT BEING INDEPENDENCE & SELF RULE, AS STILL PSYCHOLOGICALLY ITS BLOODY BASTARDS BRITISH COMMONWEALTH COLONIAL MENTALITIES GAMES BEING PLAYED
We are still slaves , people like these who betrayed our people are still ruling in india. And I think wecommon people are
Allowing them to exploit us.
I wonder if the Indian lady sitting at the table at 2:49 is Princess Indira Raje of Baroda, Maharani of Cooch Behar, mother of Maharani Gayatri Devi of Jaipur?
Yes maharani Indira raje & white dress sikh maharaja Bhupindr Singh of Patiala we can see this video
Have a look, who were selling mother land to Britishers, step by step. Our countries warrior!
Kundan Kumar there was no india before 1947
@@abcnews7720 Yes u r right, but India was in bits and pieces. My Raja's-Maharaja's r so braves and fighter all the time. They morgage and enjoyed
Kundan Kumar even this is not true India and Pakistan was created by British for solving there financial problems and selling there products
@@abcnews7720 india was there long before British arrived.
1.There is metion of India in Greek journals of Alexander time.
2. Hindustan name of India is long before British arrived.
3. All king of India took the title of King of Hindustan.
There r many more evidence of existence of India.
ram raghuwanshi Hindustan was a Persian word for people living across sindh river even Hindu was Persian word for people living across sindh river there was no such thing as Hindustan nation or India.
the women were so feminine n graceful back then.
At 1:51 is Lord Lytton, who was Governor of Bengal and for a short-term, Viceroy. Uska baap help deteriorate the Great Famine of 1877 as Viceroy.
I love British, even 100 years before they are so amazing people. Respect
Apeh like karna tereh ancestors han
This is history. All people in this video were dead long since.we should observe the positive angle of this video.
Ofcourse Indians were treated like outcasts. Some loyal royals ,were also 2nd class citizens.
Atleast we understood a fraction of our history.
Good brother
A lot of these people were probably born in the 1800s...
Jo bhi ho enjoy to kar gay yeh log.
😂
What maharani Indira Devi ......my great grandma
Your grandmother is a traitor
ghanta, don't lie
Everyone's dead.

Any early 19th century kid here...raise hand!!✋
Ghost of yesterday past.....
during the years 1900 to 1930 .....18000 Europeans used to live in Calcutta city ...90% of which was pure British.
I wonder what kind of food would've been served at this party?
Look at the Raaaaaaj Maataa etc etc Gayatariiii devi... totally looks like a "kaneez" (female servant) here
gayatri devi was married in 1940. this is from 1926. where the hell did u see her??? get ur facts correct......

When Calcutta was the capital of India
Delhi was already the capital by this point.
I think that sardarji is maharaja patiala
Was he the guy who abducted an english lady in shimla and kissed her without her permission?

Ajj koi bhi kaam hum corruption k bina nahi karwa sakte. That's why we were slaves of foreigners
British ke aane se pahle muslims ke rule mein koi corruption nahi tha.
Don't think any of them would be alive ?
Some of the people are sitting at shorter tables while rest on higher tables…. I wonder if that was to distinguish between royalty and common folk
You're reading too much into it; this was probably just for practicality or convenience.
British ran away from our great India loosing it's wealth in world war 2
Indians were happy that time we can see the gulam of british
2:29 lady is may be rajkumari amrita kaur...isn't it??
Randi gore di
Which city
anilchauisms Calcutta now Kolkata. That white building in the background is the Viceregal mansion which later after Independence became the National Library of India.
@Nidhi Roy I used to haunt the National Library (NL) in my teens (and several years after as well). The NL functioned from the main erstwhile Viceregal mansion during those days (since then an annex has been constructed in the ghastly modern style and the library now mostly functions from there). It was a place of spacious rooms, lofty ceilings, cosy alcoves with tables and chairs where 2 people at most could sit and read and it was like entering a different world once you went inside. Even during the hottest of days the interior was cool and relaxing. And of course there was the massive treasure of NL's book collection to draw upon. You had to make a written book requisition, drop it in a tray, wait for the slips to go down to the subterranean depths where the books were actually stored, wait in trepidation for the books to come up (sometimes not too unoften the slips merely came with the sad notation 'N/F' meaning Not Found) and then grab the book/s, retire to your cosy nook, immerse yourself in reading and forget the world. How many happy delightful hours I have spent in the NL. Alas! those days will never return. I hope you get to visit the Belevedere and it is open to visitors but I only wish you could capture the atmosphere as it used to be years ago.
@Nidhi Roy As far as I know the newspapers stored in the NL are preserved in microfilm form. Some hard copies are stored in the rare books section of the library. Getting access to the material stored in the rare books section is difficult - I believe only accredited researchers or those with high academic credentials are permitted to access them. Unfortunately the storage conditions at the NL are deplorable for three reasons - insufficient budget, poor storage facilities & lack of proper equipment and insufficiently trained staff who do not know how to use the equipment already purchased. There was a somewhat recent newspaper article about the NL that said: "The newspapers are kept in small racks meant for books, which leaves part of them hanging out. As these papers are old and brittle should be preserved more carefully." If you have handled an old newspaper you will know how fragile it can be. The slightest jerk or hasty handling can make pages snap or even break into little pieces. Usually what they do is encase each page in transparent sheets that holds the page together but permits reading; the NL has not been able to complete this for all newspapers yet. The best way to read old newspapers is to access the digital versions. Unfortunately, in India there is no online resource (to the best of my knowledge) where such digital versions of all old Indian newspapers are available to the public. In fact I believe very few old newspapers have been digitised. Google and Indian Express have done some pioneering work in this area. For example news.google.com/newspapers?nid=P9oYG7HA76QC gives access to the digital versions of some (NOT all) issues of the Indian Express covering the 1930's, 1940's, 1950's etc. I am a member of the British Newspaper Archive which gives me access to old newspapers published in Great Britain beginning from as early the 1700's And I find it fascinating to read some of the old issues covering great events like the World Wars etc. And yes we should stop complaining about the colonial past and look to see how to improve our future - I agree with you there. The British did both good and bad - "The men who ruled India by by Philip Mason" gives you insight into some of the great British officials and Viceroys and how they administered the country when we were ruled by Britain. Sorry if I have bored you with such a long reply.
@Nidhi Roy We usually manage to do the things we really want to do if they are reasonably achievable. When you visit Belvedere take note of the greenery and the huge trees - some of which are hundreds of years old. Incredibly stupid people cut down some of these old trees to construct the new buildings for the library annexes but there are still some grand old trees around. All the best!
Yeh kahan ki video hai ?
Patiala kee haeh
Palace of maharaja patiala
Kolkata
When Japan established its democratic parliament in 1868, they abolished the ruling samurai class and legally disbanded them, and the existing caste system in japanese society. India should have done the same thing. Completely confiscated the properties of these bootlicking maharajas and lackeys.
Who was the viceroy at that time???
It was British who came to india
Lord irwin
Most of sikh maharajas in the party
These maharajas were the servant to the foreign imperialism.
Punjabi only give fight to these people,rest off country all was sarvents off gora

Vice Roy ??? Perhaps the Roy himself would have put up a better show. It would go up in grandeur with the chief Roy
who was that SARDAR ji ??
Maharaja bhupendra Singh of patiyala , whom Hitler gifted a Mercedes maybach car and considered his guru till his death for womanizing , hilter was inspired by him for haveing sexual pleasure Contact with enormous women including his maharanis in the golden era of early 1900s

Let Me start with Dandi March.
So the British occupiers did not assimilate into Indian society. Hmm.
Just like the indian elites now.
Those who were with foreigners then to exploit motherland are now in the power saddle. Exploitation continues as usual!

Glad to see that Hitler and Tojo's respective armies put an end to this exploiting imperialism and with the cherry on the top: MK Gandhi 20 or so years from this "tea party" event. That harami Lord Irwin (Halifax) lived to see it all end.
