EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Khyber Pass, a historic mountain pass located in the northwestern part of Afghanistan and southwestern Pakistan. Known as a significant trade route between Central Asia and South Asia since ancient times, the Khyber Pass has also served as a strategic military location throughout history. This particular image dates back to the conclusion of the Third Anglo-Afghan War in 1919. In the foreground, the Waterworks of the Khyber Pass are depicted. These engineering marvels were constructed to ensure a reliable water supply for the British Indian Army garrisoned in the region. The waterworks included electric pumps, cabling, and other utilities that enabled the efficient transport of water from the sources in the mountains to the military installations below. The Khyber Pass's strategic importance is evident in the rugged terrain and the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The pass has been a vital frontier for various empires and nations, including the Persians, Greeks, Mughals, and the British. The region's rich history is a testament to the cultural exchange and the complex political dynamics that have shaped the area for centuries. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the engineering achievements of the British during their rule in India and the importance of the Khyber Pass as a vital supply route and strategic location. The image is a reminder of the rich history and the complex geopolitical landscape of the region, which continues to be a focus of international attention today.
