EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Mir Mahmood Khan, the Khan of Kalat, a historic and significant ruler in the region of Balochistan, now part of Pakistan, during the late 19th century. The Khan is depicted seated on a throne, exuding regal authority and dignity. His attire is adorned with intricate embroidery and precious stones, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region. The Khan is attended by a servant, who holds a fly-whisk, ready to keep away any bothersome insects and maintain a comfortable environment for his master. The servant's costume, consisting of a long robe and a turban, is also indicative of the traditional dress of the region. Mir Mahmood Khan ruled Kalat from 1893 to 1931, during a time of political and social change in the region. He was known for his efforts to modernize his kingdom and maintain its independence, despite increasing British influence in the area. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the rulers and their servants in the Asian continent during the 1900s. The image is a testament to the rich history and diverse cultural traditions that continue to shape the region today.
