India, about a hundred years ago, had a completely different story to tell. Our lives weren't really thriving under the British Raj, yet these pictures speak volumes about our culture, which has, somehow, over the course of time, gone missing. Reddit user ankitshekhawat helps us travel back to 1908 with this collection of pictures that make us wonder of what life back then could have been.

Would we ever want to go back? A million dollar question we might not have an answer to.  

1. The jewel of India, the Taj Mahal. Pre-pollution. Pre-population. Pre-independence.

2. A Hindu bride and groom in, what is now known as, Mumbai.

3. Mt. Abu, seen like never before.

4. A 'busy' street in Delhi back then. Wonder how they'd describe a busy street in Delhi now.

5. Outside Christ Church in Shimla.

6. Holy men sitting by the Ganges in Benares.

7. The mosque of Jama Masjid

8. Indian mothers grinding flour at home.

9. Devotees bathing in a sacred well in Benares.

10. A native diving from a 50-foot tower in Fatehpur Sikri.

11. Bridges were a bit different back then. A British officer poses for the camera while crossing the Jhelum river on a bridge made of ropes.

12. The gorgeous temple of Dilwara.

13. Devotees offering their prayers at the temple of Elephanta. 

14. The concept of animal cruelty was alien to us back then. People watch a bear perform in Jaipur.

15. The ride of the wealthy in Shimla.

16. An ox-cart carrying a physically challenged man in Kolkata.

17. Golden Temple, seen like never before.

18. State barge of the Maharaja awaiting Lady Curzon.

19. When did you last see Victoria Terminus as peaceful as in this picture?

20. Rishimuni doing penance at Mt. Abu in intense heat.
