EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a group of irregular corps of tribesmen, known as Khasadars, from the Waziristan region in the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Khyber Pass, the mountainous border crossing visible in the background, has been a historically significant trade route and strategic military location, linking Central Asia and South Asia since ancient times. The image dates back to the conclusion of the Third Anglo-Afghan War in 1919, a pivotal moment in the history of the region. The British Indian Army, seeking to secure the strategic pass and maintain control over the area, recruited local tribesmen to serve as irregular forces. These Khasadars, like the men in this photograph, were crucial to the British military efforts, providing valuable knowledge of the terrain and local customs. The Khyber Pass, with its rugged landscape and complex political dynamics, has been a site of numerous conflicts and power struggles throughout history. The region's strategic importance as a gateway between the Indian subcontinent and Central Asia has made it a contested territory, with various empires and powers vying for control. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and complex geopolitical landscape of the North-West Frontier Province, a region that continues to shape the political and cultural dynamics of both Pakistan and Afghanistan today.
