EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the imposing Jamrud Fort at the entrance to the Khyber Pass, a historic mountain pass linking Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Khyber Pass has held significant importance since ancient times as a major trade route between Central Asia and South Asia, as well as a strategic military location. This image dates back to the conclusion of the Third Anglo-Afghan War in 1919, marking the end of British rule in Afghanistan and the establishment of a buffer zone along the border between India and Afghanistan. The fortifications of Jamrud Fort, visible in the photograph, were built to secure the British control over the pass and protect against potential invasions from Afghanistan. The fort, located in the Khyber Province of Pakistan, stands tall against the rugged terrain, its walls and towers seemingly defying the passage of time. The Khyber Pass, nestled in the north of Afghanistan and Pakistan, has been a focal point of history, with numerous invasions and battles fought over its control. Its strategic location has made it a frontier of conflict and a symbol of the complex relationship between the two neighboring countries. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and complex geopolitics of the region, providing a window into the past and the enduring significance of the Khyber Pass.
