[iampeeay01]

[hauyn89]

From 1:07 to about 1:18 you can see the shadow of the cameraman on the walls as he winds the camera…fascinating

[MyLalinea]

Mongoose fight at 9:40

[interstellarwonder]

[Pkr]

What was the date of the filming... I guess at about 1938 to 1945 well before the partition...

[cre8iv80studio]

These monuments are very much Indian.. such styleof construction was only designed and erected in India by Indian who happened to be Muslims. No where elsein the Muslim world do you see such style of construction so it is indian and Indians would do well to realize that Muslims are just as big a part of India as Hindus are.These are the people of India who converted.. they did not come from outside..

[DirkLesniewski]

[adk314]

An evidently mistitled video!

More appropriately---Muslim monuments around Delhi

[dwarkamark]

Important to preserve this type of film, visual history.

[manga12]

indeed it is, and becomes less stable with every year its not cared for, half the films before 1950 rotted away, thats soo much classic american cinema lost forever only fragments exist, to show as it was to the origional audience in the same way for study, and comparison. and all the elaborate films of the art deco age before the depression, with the huge chorus lines and great dance numbers.

[hangamafulltime]

all videos love to watch

[2004hari]

jai sree ram

[ro323232]

The muslim symbol on the hoof was cutt-off by the camera (maybe for some reason), strange

[ttpdes86]

actually video cameras have existed since 1895 and it caught on fast...

[vjzoo]

Video cameras did not exist then (video by definition is electronic) - this was film. But I take your point ttpdes86, film is certainly older than people expect. There is even colour film older than this, as well as soundies. Such a pity that most early film has been lost though, thanks to the unstable film stock used.

[Shufei]

I love the lil kids.  Life was much less hurried; even the streets were less a hassle.

[trainsem]

What happened to the audio?

[ranbonzy]

Buddy, you will have to dub it.

[bingramtube]

Hand cranked, how did the theater show this film ? another camera guy hand cranking trying to match the originals speed ?

Any one Know or have an interesting theory ??

[trainsem]

Some cameras and projectors had a governor that maintained the max speed if you went too fast. An experienced operator knew how fast to crank it so as not to be too slow.

[ranbonzy]

At time 1:10 you start seeing the shadow of the video camera operator, who is continuously rotating the film reel. :)

THen you know it was 1932 for sure...

[trainsem]

Video camera? That must have been the first one invented.

[ranbonzy]

They have had cameras that have electronic reel operation by this time but they did not have portable power supplies, i.e. batteries!!!

[trainsem]

Hand-cranked movie cameras did not need batteries. Batteries have existed since 1800, but were not practical for portable use. "Portable" in 1932 meant a heavy tripod and a heavy steel or wooden camera.

[kneejerker]

In addition to the inevitable Taj Mahal, there is the tomb of Salim Chisti (2:08), Buland Darwaza (1:58) in Fatehpur Sikri, and Qutb Minar (4:08) in Delhi.

[ravving]

the india of those times was innocent n divine,now its full of hypocrisy n lies

[kneejerker]

That's a rather simplistic and naive read.

[sankarisaravanan]

how do u knoiw..it may have been the same always

[mbbugi]

Once upon a time we were called the Sub Continent, Till british Swallowed the Golden Bird Of ASIA, seeds of Hatred were sown among Us 1857 we Jointly revolted against the brits but Massive Hiring of Mercenries Quashed our urge to be free We were Put down ,Our Fore Fathers were hanged On trees Coloniel Masters showed No merci Today we write insulting Comments against each other who are and always be From the subcontinent Happy Smiling faces Living side by side Cheers me up.Thanks for GREATIMAGE

[blackfalconsungodzzz]

They hung our Nubian Fore Fathers from trees as well, so the only thing is we gotta not trust our Enemeys!

[mbbugi]

Thank You I hope that the young generations should always remember that ,SACRIFICE is not in VAIN

Kind regards and prays to the unfortunate people who i remember always

[dd1857]

muslims are the reasonsss

[suzantjk]

this is really precious piece for all of us to know about our country more clearly

[2degucitas]

everyone stares at the camera and crazy white people operating it. I know how they feel! I've travel a bit. Things haven't changed much in the streets of india.

[travelfilmarchive]

There is nothing wrong with your set! This particular print did not have sound - I am still looking for one that does.

[velyogendra]

I rated it this because there is no sound. It's like a travel book without photos. Or is it something I did? (all my other videos have sound)
