EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Khewra, a salt mining district in Punjab, British India (now Pakistan), in the year 1933. The image showcases a vibrant scene of daily life as we witness a bus service navigating its way through the busy road. The vintage charm is palpable as men wearing traditional turbans can be seen both inside and on top of the bus, expertly balancing their luggage on the roof. These men represent not only passengers but also symbols of cultural identity and resilience amidst colonial rule. The photograph offers a glimpse into an era when British influence permeated every aspect of Indian society. It serves as a reminder of how transportation played a vital role in connecting communities during this time period. The bus service depicted here was undoubtedly instrumental in facilitating trade, communication, and social interactions within Khewra and beyond. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it prompts us to reflect on the rich history that unfolded along these very streets. This image encapsulates not just an ordinary moment from 1930s Punjab but also captures the spirit of an entire nation grappling with its colonial past while forging ahead towards independence.
