Reading The Pipes at Lucknow | Alexandria
Read The Pipes at Lucknow by John Greenleaf Whittier. Haunting the ruins of a colonial British fortress, Whittier's Pipes reveal how music transcends cultural divides - even amid brutal warfare. When Scottish bagpipes moved Indian soldiers to tears, it exposed our shared humanity in ways that shattered Victorian assumptions about civilization. A reminder that art connects us across seemingly unbridgeable chasms.
