Afghans Ethnicity Ethnographic Kabul Robes 1860s
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of Cabulese and Kabulese men from the Kabul region of Afghanistan, dating back to the 1860s. Dressed in their traditional robes and headdresses, these individuals represent the rich cultural heritage of this ethnic group during the early 19th century. The Cabulese, also known as the Kafirs or infidels, were a diverse population living in the eastern part of Afghanistan and the border regions of British India. They were known for their distinct language, customs, and religious practices, which differed significantly from those of the dominant Afghan and Pashtun populations. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life and appearance of these people during a time when the region was undergoing significant political and cultural changes. The 1860s marked the beginning of British colonial expansion into the region, which brought about increased interaction between the Cabulese and other ethnic groups, as well as the introduction of new technologies and ideas. Despite the challenges and upheavals of this era, the Cabulese and Kabulese people continued to preserve their unique cultural traditions. This photograph serves as an important reminder of their history and the diverse ethnic tapestry of Afghanistan during the 19th century.
