EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historical significance of the Tur Khum Gardens, located near Landikhana in present-day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, and showcasing the boundary line between Afghanistan and the North-West Frontier Province. Dating back to circa 1920, this image offers a glimpse into the rich history of the region, which has long been marked by cultural exchanges and political tensions. The North-West Frontier Province, now known as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has been a strategic and contested area for centuries, with the Afghan border serving as a dividing line between the two nations. The Tur Khum Gardens, with their lush greenery and intricate water channels, stand as a testament to the region's unique blend of Afghan and Pakistani heritage. The photograph's composition draws the viewer's attention to the boundary line, which cuts through the gardens like a scar in the landscape. The contrast between the fertile gardens and the barren, rocky terrain on the Afghan side underscores the political and geographical divisions that have long existed in this region. As we look at this image, we are transported back in time to an era of colonial rule and shifting political alliances. The Tur Khum Gardens serve as a reminder of the complex history and ongoing challenges faced by the people of Afghanistan and Pakistan as they navigate the intricacies of their shared border. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a powerful historical document that invites us to reflect on the past and consider the present-day implications of this boundary line.
