Their wives were wearing traditional Indian dress and I think the look of the couples together really complimented one another. The fellahs were also carrying traditional Sikh swords with their outfits. Outstanding. Their accents, of course, were pure dead Glesca, they had obviously been born and raised here.
BTW, I don't think the guy in the pic is a Sikh, he looks more like a Scotsman living in India. I have several pics of Scots in India at the height of the British Empire era who dressed similar to this, including officers from the Black Watch.
Very interesting indeed! Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
