EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a Sarwani soldier, a proud member of the Batani Pashtun tribe, standing tall against the rugged backdrop of the North-West Frontier Province in Afghanistan. Circa 1910, the Sarwani tribesman is dressed in traditional attire, wearing a long, flowing Sherwani coat, a turban adorned with intricate embroidery, and a thick belt to hold his essentials. In his hands, he cradles a rifle, a symbol of his role as a guardian and protector of his people and territory. The Sarwani, who are also known as the Pathans or Pashtuns, have a rich and complex history, with settlements in present-day Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. The Sarwani tribesman's intense gaze and the bullets in his rifle belt speak of the challenges and dangers that came with living on the frontier, a volatile region marked by political instability, conflict, and the constant threat of invasion. Despite these hardships, the Sarwani people have maintained their unique culture and traditions, passing them down from generation to generation. This powerful image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of courage, resilience, and the unwavering spirit of the Sarwani warrior. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and diverse cultural heritage of the people of the North-West Frontier Province and beyond.
