EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard captures the striking image of Buland Khan, a native fencer from Dagshai, a cantonment town nestled in the picturesque Solan district of Himachal Pradesh, India. Established in 1847 by the East India Company as a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients, Dagshai is located at an elevation of 1,828 meters and offers breathtaking views of the Himalayan ranges. Buland Khan, a traditional fighter from the region, is depicted in the postcard with an air of grace and poise as he prepares for combat with his fencing sword and shield. The intricate design of his shield, adorned with intricate patterns and geometric shapes, reflects the rich cultural heritage of the region. Buland Khan's intense focus and determined expression convey the intensity and skill required for this ancient martial art. Fencing was a popular sport in Dagshai, with many locals practicing the art form for both recreational and defensive purposes. The town's strategic location made it an important military outpost, and the residents were trained in various combat skills to protect themselves from invaders. Buland Khan's pose, with one foot forward and his body slightly bent, suggests that he is ready for action. This postcard, which dates back to the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural traditions of Dagshai and its people. Buland Khan's image serves as a reminder of the town's proud martial heritage and the resilience and strength of its inhabitants.
