Many of them had acquired the camera as an object of leisure. Confined at home and with restricted mobility, what would they have photographed? Would the camera have allowed them to view the world outside? How would they have used photography to think and imagine? More importantly what would have been the effect of their being able to look through the lens on their own lives? This is a segment of a larger project mapping a history of the woman photographer and photographic practices associated with women in India. Within a historiography of early Indian photography, women have hardly figured except as subjects of photography. Perhaps one reason for this invisibility is the way in which notions of the professional have been defined, which made it impossible Excavations / 61
