Khyber Pass Border - 1909: A Threshold Between Two Worlds This evocative photograph captures the Khyber Pass border between Afghanistan and the North-West Frontier Province of British India, in 1909. The Khyber Pass, a strategic and historically significant mountain pass, has served as a vital trade route and a symbolic boundary between the Indian subcontinent and Afghanistan for centuries. The image shows a rugged landscape, with the rocky terrain of the pass stretching out into the distance. A sign, bearing the inscription "Afghan Frontier," stands tall against the backdrop of the mountains, marking the boundary between the two territories. Indian and Afghan guards, dressed in their respective uniforms, are stationed on either side of the pass, maintaining a watchful eye over the border. The winding road, which snakes its way through the pass, is a testament to the arduous journey that travelers and traders would undertake to traverse this treacherous terrain. The passage through the Khyber Pass was not only a challenge due to its geographical difficulties but also due to the political tensions and conflicts that often arose between the various powers vying for control over this strategic region. The photograph offers a glimpse into a time when the world was more connected yet more divided, a time when borders were not as clearly defined as they are today. The Khyber Pass, with its rich history and cultural significance, continues to be a symbol of the complex and intricate relationships between the peoples and nations of South Asia and Central Asia. This image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a reminder of the past and the enduring legacy of the Khyber Pass as a threshold between two worlds.
