EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur of the Hastings Memorial in Peshawar City, British India, circa 1910s. The memorial, dedicated to the memory of Colonel Edward Connor Hastings (d.1884), stands proudly in the heart of the city, its impressive dome dominating the skyline. The colonel was a British military officer who served in the Indian Army and played a significant role in the Second Afghan War. The image also offers a glimpse into the bustling street scene of Peshawar City during the colonial era. The cantonment area, where the memorial is located, is filled with a mix of white British and native inhabitants. Pedestrians, dressed in various attires, including turbans, can be seen walking along the cobblestone streets. The buildings in the background, with their red-tiled roofs and ornate facades, add to the charm of the scene. The Hastings Memorial, now known as Chowk Yadgar, remains an iconic landmark in Peshawar City, Pakistan. It is a testament to the rich history of the region and the colonial past that continues to influence its cultural and architectural landscape. The photograph provides a unique perspective into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Peshawar City during the British Raj.
