EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Tur Khum Gardens near Landikhana, located in the North-West Frontier Province of Afghanistan, circa 1920. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the boundary line between Afghan and British territories. The British Empire had established its control over large parts of the Indian subcontinent, and the North-West Frontier Province marked the westernmost edge of its dominion. The Tur Khum Gardens, a lush oasis amidst the arid landscape, served as a symbol of the complex relationship between the two territories. The gardens were a popular destination for British travelers and administrators, who sought refuge from the harsh climate and enjoyed the scenic beauty and tranquility that the gardens offered. The boundary line, marked by a simple stone wall, runs through the heart of the gardens, creating a stark reminder of the political realities of the time. The image invites us to reflect on the historical significance of this boundary, which has shaped the course of history in the region for decades. The North-West Frontier Province has a rich and complex history, marked by invasions, political instability, and cultural exchanges. The region has been a melting pot of different civilizations, including the Persians, Greeks, Mughals, and the British. The Tur Khum Gardens stand as a testament to this rich history, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the enduring allure of travel and exploration. This photograph is an invaluable historical record, capturing a moment in time when the world was undergoing significant political and cultural transformations. It invites us to explore the complexities of the past, to learn from history, and to appreciate the beauty and diversity of our world.
