EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a Kashmiri policeman stands steadfastly in the heart of Srinagar, the largest city in the Indian-administered region of Kashmir. The year is 1989, a time of intense political unrest and conflict in the region. Amidst the chaos and turmoil, this policeman maintains a sense of order, directing traffic at a busy intersection. The policeman's uniform is smart and well-pressed, the fabric crisp against his chest. The bright red cockade on his headdress catches the eye, a bold pop of color against the muted tones of the image. His expression is serious, his gaze focused on the task at hand. The policeman's presence is a reminder of the delicate balance between order and disorder, peace and conflict, that exists in this complex and contested region. The photograph captures the unique character of Kashmir, a place where the natural beauty of the landscape is intertwined with the political and social complexities of the region. The image also highlights the role of the police force in maintaining order during times of unrest, a role that is often fraught with danger and challenge. This photograph, taken by the renowned photographer Philip Dunn, is a poignant reminder of the history and complexity of Kashmir, a place that continues to be a source of fascination and intrigue for people around the world. The image invites us to reflect on the complexities of the region, and the role that individuals like this Kashmiri policeman play in shaping its future.
