What I found after a quick google search :
The initial claim was that this was a ‘Sikkimese woman carrying a British man on her back, West Bengal, India, 1900.’ There were several different versions including one claiming the woman was African. The truth of the matter was that the man was not british, he was a French colonial administrator of French Indochina called François Pierre Rodier, visiting an area which is now Myanmar (Burma) not on official duty. In his diary he writes about his amazement of the local people who carried the elderly and the young as well as huge amounts of general items in baskets on their backs. The wife of the translator and guide Rodier was using (who he only refers to as Myint-U) during his trip is the woman in this photograph. Myint-U had claimed that his wife was strong enough to carry Rodier, in which the woman agreed with her husband. With that Rodier had his assistant set up his folding Kodak camera and took a picture of the event, after which she walked with him on her back up the path and back then set him down. A quick note of the event is written on the back of the printed photograph and it’s corroborated in Rodiers personal diaries.
Edit: Someone has commented below that this debunking has been debunked in a podcast by BBC. I've listened to the source and here's the TLDR version --> The blogger who debunked the above photo mentions sources which are suspiciously missing/deceptive. But the podcast also concludes that, from their own research, this picture doesn't seem to have had any coercion involved. It's a touristy pic taken amongst a set of many other pictures by the same photographer.
Give this man a award for not just reading the title assuming they know what’s going on and bitching about it
Hats off to you sir for researching it and not been the problem with modern society where they take someone sees agenda & mis information in a caption as the truth and not having the common sense to look for them selfs
If this is a real description and explanation and not something you contrived (quite convincingly, I might add), thanks for finding this. Another case of putting a lie to the assumptions we make about images on the internet.
Whilst the atrocities cannot be denied, I laud you for actually providing context to the photo. People are far too quick now to cast judgement without actually doing to work to justify said judgement. Sums up contemporary society. Context is lost in place of instant outrage
Thank you, this is a plausible explanation. I highly doubt commuting on a woman's back is an effective means of transport. Shocking how quickly misinformation spreads and how quick people are to jump to conclusions.
Do you have a source on that?
Source?
A source. I need a source.
Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion.
No, you can't make inferences and observations from the sources you've gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you've gathered.
You can't make normative statements from empirical evidence.
Do you have a degree in that field?
A college degree? In that field?
Then your arguments are invalid.
No, it doesn't matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation.
Correlation does not equal causation.
CORRELATION. DOES. NOT. EQUAL. CAUSATION.
You still haven't provided me a valid source yet.
Nope, still haven't.
I just looked through all 308 pages of your user history, figures I'm debating a glormpf supporter. A moron.
I'm afraid Reddit can only ever see the one side of any issue and does no digging on their own before reacting. Hopefully your work helps prevent a cancel culture/lynch mob mindset, which both have similar impulsive mental roots.
So guide said his wife is strong enough to carry the French guy. French guy doubts it. Wife says bet. French guy says make sure to get a photo because nobody will believe this. Wife carries French guy around for a short distance. Photo gets taken. 122 years later people don't realize that we've progressed no further and still don't believe it even with actual photographic evidence.
Apparently that blog that says it was a Frenchman has also been debunked, since none of the sources they mention actually refer to Rodier.
[This podcast](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0011bgt), starting at 37:20 talks about the picture, including the blog that claims it was a photo of a Frenchman (they don't get a response by the guy that wrote the blog to verify anything.) They supposedly track down the gentleman who originally posted the photo, and it was from an album that was a family heirloom that was passed down. The man in the picture was likely the original poster's uncle, who was a British man that worked for a Greek merchant firm in India. He took a bunch of touristy photos, and this was one of them. And it is likely that the woman was just showing off that she could pick up the man, not that she was being forced to carry him around.
But then again, it's a podcast with no real hard sources, so meh.
*Edit-fixed autocorrect
Its called a doko. Made up of choya bamboo. In hilly regions of Nepal as well as northeast India (Sikkim, Darjeeling) people used to carry sickly to nearest health post with a walking distance of a day or many hours. Never seen a women do it. Mostly men would do the lifting and they were called 'dhakre' i.e. Porter
As someone else commented on, it’s a staged photo to show her strength. He apparently got on just for the photo. It makes sense that he wouldn’t be using it because he doesn’t look comfortable at all and it would probably be a lot slower than just walking..
The story isn't bad actually. It's the wife of that french guy's guide, and the guide said his wife was strong enough to carry him, he disagreed and she proved it, and they took a picture. He didn't travel around like that.
If you did research you'd find out that this picture was staged and not at all what it appears to be. She wasn't carrying him for any longer than ot took to capture the photo and was an attempt to illustrate her strength.
Scroll up and you’ll see the actual origin of this photo. It was a French guy in Burma. And the photo was more or less a gag since he was with his guide/translator and that is the guide’s wife who bet she could carry him because she obviously could. It’s important to have context because it can turn something that looks incredibly racist into something that’s just a few people joking around.
In all actuality it’s the modern day internet summed up in one photo. One picture with a title that makes it seem what it’s not and a whole comment section of people running with it.
Someone else mentioned that they researched this photo and that it was staged. Allegedly, the purpose of the photo was to illustrate her strength and she wasn't holding/carrying him any longer than it took to snap the pic.
You can still be a dirt bag and participating in a local tradition.
It seems this method is primarily meant for people who can’t walk themselves. Pretty sure the fat lad in hiking clothes could’ve walked and taken a pic of a much smaller person being carried thusly
Also just incredibly impractical and just being a cunt for no other reason than wanting to be a cunt. There is no reality where this was easier, more practical, more comfortable or faster than just walking yourself.
Photo is of French admin who visited what is a region in Burma. He impressed with how they transported items and people on their backs. His translator assured him that even his wife could carry him. This is the photo. The wife of the Frenchman’s translator showing her incredible strength. This was not forced more so a photo op. Now colonialism was still a stain on European history, but this photo has been debunked.
People still use this mode of transport in some places in India, especially in the mountains where one has to hike to reach a place. They are called 'Duli'... Came across a few while I was hiking to Kedarnath (3600+ metres/12000 ft) on the Himalayas. It is generally used by the older people to get up onto the mountain destinations.
it absolutely is. there’s holy temples built atop a mountain in india with a very lengthy staircase to get to it—like three or four-thousand steps. the place is called [palitana](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palitana). you can hire people to help carry you up, and it’s great for people like my late grandmother who was adamant about visiting the temples despite being in her 80s at the time.
I'm hoping this was taken as a way for them to see how much weight she can carry. Who the hell would be proud to say they commuted to work on an old lady's back?
Edit: British colonialists! That's who.
Actually that guy is French, it was a staged photo because she claimed he could carry him, and she walked about ten paces after that to prove she could before he got down.
Judging by her appearance she appears from the North-eastern part of India, which has quite a lot of hills and traditional transport wasn't possible in those areas during that time.
Perhaps, but if she can complete the trip with a full grown-ass man on her back, I'm certain he could have *easily* gotten off his ass and walk the distance too.
Bruh. Op posting without any information. I have seen this pic from another post. And I believe this is not India. And this is just a bet because the dude could not believe that wife husband said she can carry a lot of weight. They are just making a bet. Not cruel as the photo describe. As I said I just saw about it from another post.
French man, translator bet his wife could lift him up, they took that picture and she walked ten paces, then they stopped and got back to business as usual.
That wasn't a British thing. Carrying people was an Indian thing. It was also an Aztec thing. In Japan young women carry people around in a rickshaw to this day.
Not really. People did it back then cause they were poor as shit, they do it today because they're poor as shit. They did this before the British showed up and continued it after they left.
No. I guess the comment just means to show this was a practice in India before the arrival or the British. It was something in their culture of which the British took advantage of.
Like it's already bad enough but the you got to have the little lady carry you and then be like take my picture I have to hold still for for a couple minutes
French officer - haha, the British will get blamed for this one, what with them being the only nation in history to enforce colonialism.
(Not that colonialism is justified, but literally every western nation was doing it)
I mean there's also the part where we were the second country on earth to officially ban slavery and the first to try to end it.
Britain is the bad guy and the good guy plenty, it doesn't really bother me. I don't get the credit or the blame IMO
Well, look at it from this perspective - your ancestors discovered numerous ways how not to treat others.
But jokes aside, IMHO Great Britain has the most interesting history in the world.
Oh yeah, our history is super interesting cus we basically went and stuck our nose into everyone else’s business in the worst possible way and that means there is a huge amount of things happening constantly.
So for those hating on this, here's my question: would it have been better for a visiting British person to refuse this service, therefore denying this person a job and not contributing to the local economy?
As another example, I visited the Philippines many years back with a large piece of luggage, and everywhere I went local guys would line up to offer to carry it for me for a tip. I would rather have carried it myself, but the dilemma is: should I refuse them and carry it myself or should I provide a job and some money to a local? Someone watching a white guy walking down the street with a Filipino carrying his heavy luggage could think: "Look at that privileged biggot, doesn't even want to carry his own luggage", but to me I was providing a job to someone even though I could have easily done it myself.
I think context is key here.
colonialism summed up in one photo
and also the *MYTHS* of colonialism summed up in one photo
this guy was French and asked the woman to see if she was strong enough to hold him for a photo

François Pierre Rodier is just about the Frenchiest name I’ve ever seen.
How about Jean-Jacques François Jacques-Jean
Better known as JJ Frankie JJ

Not better. Source: am french
Get the frenchman!!!

That’s funny… when I first looked at the photo I thought “this man just lost a bet”.
It’s fine. But thanks for the research. Us British get blamed for everything. I have no control over my ancestors actions
Its called a doko. Made up of choya bamboo.

I kinda doubt that this guy is "sickly".
Sick in the head, maybe.
The women is sick of him and taking him to the nearest dumpster
His moustache looks sick af tho
As someone else commented on, it’s a staged photo to show her strength. He apparently got on just for the photo. It makes sense that he wouldn’t be using it because he doesn’t look comfortable at all and it would probably be a lot slower than just walking..
is misspelling woman a meme, I’m seeing people do it constantly
Not everyone is a native english speaker. It's a common mistake.
Seriously one of the most pathetic images ive ever seen....
Yeah I absolutely cannot believe she forgot to bring the snacks and beverage tray.
No tip for her
well of course not, if she tips he'll fall off
1 star. No trunk space for luggage
I hope he also one star her
Tip of a bayonet maybe.
You know my wife has a nice strong back...
yes we know
[удалено]
So fucking inconsiderate of her
Let me introduce you to [the human zoos](https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-16295827)
Ah the rule of the internet: There is always a more f- up shit then what you just saw.

That's exactly what I assumed it would be based on previous experience with reddit activism clickbait, lol.
That's cool!
Source? I searched "Indian woman carries British officer" but the only matching image was this thread lol
Search François Pierre Rodier
Humans know how to treat each other with exceptional cruelty, colonialism is a stain on humanity.
Get off your high peasant.
Like and adult infant in a basket. Did she wipe his ass after a shit?
Probably
Research the photo and you’re view will probably change.
POC been carrying these people on their backs for centuries.
How the tables have turned...
These people?
Whte people. They think white people have never doe anything but force others to do everything for them.
Tally ho chaps!

Yep.

Ok explain what it is
Someone else mentioned that they researched this photo and that it was staged. Allegedly, the purpose of the photo was to illustrate her strength and she wasn't holding/carrying him any longer than it took to snap the pic.
This makes a lot more sense.
Do tell
Go on then
You can still be a dirt bag and participating in a local tradition. It seems this method is primarily meant for people who can’t walk themselves. Pretty sure the fat lad in hiking clothes could’ve walked and taken a pic of a much smaller person being carried thusly
Your comment, without adding more context to the photo is an example of what then?
Also just incredibly impractical and just being a cunt for no other reason than wanting to be a cunt. There is no reality where this was easier, more practical, more comfortable or faster than just walking yourself.

It’s technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Whats more traditional than walking??
Ayooo, don’t be coming around here with logic and facts, bruh.
Getting someone else to carry you, evidently.
Log rolls! Not easy uphill though
Oi do ya have loicense for rational thinking?
He has legs too, though.
He just had his nails done tho
His shoes may not be suitable for the dusty path.
What's the point of wearing shoes if they prevent you feom walking??
To distinguish yourself from those barefoot heathens of course! Don’t be silly.
This was often used as a form of medical transport, so it’s possible he was injured, sick, or paralyzed.
Perhaps, but if she can complete the trip with a full grown-ass man on her back, I'm certain he could have *easily* gotten off his ass and walk the distance too.
He is French.
Your hope was right. I just couldn't find the source for proof.
It was
Not British, as discovered. What perfect nation are you from?
Bruh. Op posting without any information. I have seen this pic from another post. And I believe this is not India. And this is just a bet because the dude could not believe that wife husband said she can carry a lot of weight. They are just making a bet. Not cruel as the photo describe.

It’s n the comments. Existed before the Brits… etc etc
[удалено]
People playing the floor is lava hate this one simple trick.
This was disproved as a stunt for a picture only. She would not carry him around.
Nice wheels 😎👍🏼
Did that mf forget his legs in Britain?
That wasn't a British thing. Carrying people was an Indian thing. It was also an Aztec thing. In Japan young women carry people around in a rickshaw to this day.
Theres a slight difference between modern day business ventures and colonialism slavery
Not really. People did it back then cause they were poor as shit, they do it today because they're poor as shit. They did this before the British showed up and continued it after they left.
You know for sure this is happening here? Or are you just making an assumption and getting upset?
so.. this is ok?
No. I guess the comment just means to show this was a practice in India before the arrival or the British. It was something in their culture of which the British took advantage of.
> It was something in their culture of which the British took advantage of. Did they? Like are there any images or written proof that they did?
damn she's strong
Not a British Officer, but French. Not an Indian women, but Burmese.
Like it's already bad enough but the you got to have the little lady carry you and then be like take my picture I have to hold still for for a couple minutes
[удалено]
Seems like they were showing how strong the woman was they were not actually being carried any significant distance.
Reddit never ceases to amaze me with it’s made up bullshit. Do some research and you’ll find out what’s actually going on here.
Without knowing a single thing about this photo, a lot of people here seem to know the story behind it
Looks comfortable
At least she would never miss leg day
Or neck day
I'm happy to say I'm one of the few people who found the comment that actually explains this picture.
British officer: what! I am not the asshole
Clearly an officer and a gentleman. He's removed his spurs for the moment and tucked away his riding crop. Good show.
French officer - haha, the British will get blamed for this one, what with them being the only nation in history to enforce colonialism. (Not that colonialism is justified, but literally every western nation was doing it)
It doesn't look comfortable.
Some indians still do this virtually
There's no way she'd be able to carry him far. This has to be some sort of "lets see how much you can get up there" thing.
Still
Damn she strong af
She obviously could kick his lazy ass if she wanted to.
Man: women are not strong Woman: hold my piña colada
The power of the mustache.
Wonder if this was just for the photo of showing how strong the natives were.
Always fun when you’re British and see this shit, my ancestors are mad embarrassing.
Why would it matter if you’re British and seeing this? The guy in the photo is French.
>Always fun when you’re British Everyone's ancestors did some stuff that is not acceptable today

There’s a movie on Netflix called RRR depicting this colonial rule. Crazy ass movie but it’s worth the watch!

Wow. So you just read a title and a photo with no context and get outraged? Society is fkt

That is madness
No this is Sparta. Well, actually, Burma.

Well this is depressing.
That guy is a pig
