EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic figure of an Afridi man, a resident of the Khyber and Kohat Passes that straddle the border between India and Afghanistan during the 1920s. The Afridi people are an ethnic group with historical ties to both countries, and their territory has long been a strategic crossroads of trade, culture, and conflict. The man in the photograph wears a skullcap and holds a musket or rifle, a common sight in the region during this period. The rugged terrain of the passes is evident in the background, with rocks and boulders jutting out from the landscape. The image transports us back to a time when the world was more interconnected yet more isolated, a time when travel between continents was an adventure fraught with challenges and opportunities. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was a decade of significant social, political, and cultural change around the world. In the Eastern world, the Middle East was undergoing its own transformations, with the end of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of new nations. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of people living in this region during a time of great change and upheaval. The Afridi man in the photograph is a reminder of the rich history and diverse cultures that exist in the world, and how they continue to shape our understanding of ourselves and each other. Today, the Khyber and Kohat Passes remain an important trade and transportation route, connecting India and Afghanistan and serving as a bridge between two distinct yet interconnected worlds.
