EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene atmosphere of Dal Lake in Kashmir during the 1980s. In the center of the image, a young Kashmiri boatman sits in a traditional shikara boat, his silhouette contrasting against the tranquil waters. The boatman's peaceful demeanor is accentuated by the smoke rising from the hookah he holds, creating a calming hubble-bubble effect. The scene is one of stillness and reflection, with the smooth waters mirroring the surrounding mountains and the gentle ripples caused by the boat's oars. The image, taken in 1986 by photographer Philip Dunn, captures the essence of a bygone era in Kashmir. The peaceful scene belies the political turmoil that was beginning to unfold in the region during the 1980s, making this photograph all the more poignant. The image is a testament to the enduring beauty and resilience of the people of Kashmir, who continue to find moments of peace and tranquility amidst the challenges of their daily lives.
