EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the English Church in Peshawar, Pakistan, with the Khyber Pass in the distant horizon. The Khyber Pass, an ancient trade route and strategic gateway between South Asia and Central Asia, is seen leading into Afghanistan. The image, taken in 1878, offers a glimpse into the rich history of this region. The British Empire, which ruled much of South Asia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, established the English Church in Peshawar as part of their efforts to extend their influence and control in the region. The church, with its distinctive Gothic architecture, stands as a testament to the colonial legacy in Peshawar. The Khyber Pass, which can be seen in the background, has been a significant historical and cultural landmark for centuries. It has been a key strategic point for various empires and civilizations, including the Persians, Greeks, Mughals, and the British. The pass has been used for trade, invasion, and conquest, and has played a crucial role in the political and cultural exchanges between South Asia and Central Asia. The photograph also highlights the stunning natural beauty of the region, with the lush greenery and rugged mountains in the background. The image invites us to reflect on the complex history of this region, and the enduring impact of colonialism and cultural exchange on the people and landscapes of South Asia and Central Asia.
