EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating photograph, titled "Mullik Morad and Ahmedshere, Sipah Afreedees, Soonnee Musulmans, Kohat" transports us back to the 19th century in India. This remarkable image is part of J. Forbes Watson's renowned collection, "The People of India" published in 1868. In this sepia-toned print captured by an English photographer, we witness two proud men standing side by side. Mullik Morad and Ahmedshere are members of the Sipah Afreedees community - a group known for their bravery and loyalty as Sunni Muslims. Dressed in traditional attire that exudes elegance and cultural richness, they wear turbans with grace while showcasing their distinctive costumes. The intricate details on their garments reflect the craftsmanship prevalent during that era. Both men command attention with their stoic expressions as they pose for the camera. A sense of strength emanates from them as they hold guns firmly in hand – symbols of protection and power within their community. This portrait not only captures the physical appearance but also provides a glimpse into the lives of these Indian individuals who were integral to shaping local history. It serves as a testament to diversity within Indian society during colonial times. Preserved within a private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection today, this mesmerizing photograph continues to evoke curiosity about cultures past while reminding us of our shared humanity across time and space.
