EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of a Brahui tribal family in the Quetta region of the Balochistan Province in Pakistan, circa 1910. The family, hailing from the semi-independent Kalat state, are shown living in a traditional tent, surrounded by the arid landscape of the region. The parents, dressed in traditional clothing, tend to their young children, providing them with shelter and care. The extended family unit was a fundamental aspect of Brahui society, with strong bonds of loyalty and mutual support. The Brahuis, one of the largest ethnic groups in Balochistan, have a rich cultural heritage, with a distinct language and unique customs. They were known for their skill in cattle rearing, agriculture, and weaving. This photograph offers a glimpse into their past, providing a window into a way of life that has largely disappeared with the passage of time. Quetta, the largest city in Balochistan, served as a hub for British colonial administration in the region. The area was of strategic importance due to its rich natural resources, including minerals, gas, and water. The British established a protectorate over the region in the late 19th century, leading to the imposition of their administrative structures and the dismantling of the semi-independent states, including Kalat. Despite the challenges posed by colonial rule, the Brahuis continued to maintain their distinct identity, preserving their traditions and customs. This photograph serves as a reminder of their resilience and the importance of preserving the cultural heritage of marginalized communities.
