RM2B01DH5–Burma: An elephant and mahout working on a logging project, c. 1892-1896. The British conquest of Burma began in 1824 in response to a Burmese attempt to invade India. By 1886, and after two further wars, Britain had incorporated the entire country into the British Raj. To stimulate trade and facilitate changes, the British brought in Indians and Chinese, who quickly displaced the Burmese in urban areas. To this day Rangoon and Mandalay have large ethnic Indian populations. Railways and schools were built, as well as a large number of prisons, including the infamous Insein Prison.

RM2T8AABR–Exercises involving elephant batteries, which were exotic to European eyes, attracted spectators; photographs of them were excellent souvenirs of these military forces employed by the British Indian Army. Elephants had been employed in warfare in India since at least the 500s BC, but with the advent of heavy artillery, their function switched from attack to support. They transported big guns and supplies and worked in logging and construction. It took many cattle to pull a load that could be handled by two elephants. Elephant Battery, Jhansi, 1887.

RMF0TR5D–Dhaka 21 August 2015. An elephant tries to collect money from cars, hampering traffic movement on the busy city streets in Dhaka. Estimates say there are about 200 wild elephants left in Bangladesh, mostly in border areas with Myanmar and India. Some 100 domesticated elephants are used mainly in the logging industry and several circuses. To see an elephant roam the streets of Dhaka is a rarity.
