Nicely photographed. Looks like a stretched out “noon” or sideways “ain” on the background wall.

Re: Pakistan - A History in photographs

devilish_angel:

A group of hippies (British, French and American) wait for a bus in Lahore (1972). Pakistan was an important destination on what was called the ‘Hippie Trail.’

The trail was used by thousands of young European and American backpackers between the late 1960s and 1979. It was an overland route that began in Turkey, ran through Iran, curved into Afghanistan and Pakistan and then from India ended in Nepal.

A huge tourist industry sprang up in these countries to accommodate the backpackers. In Pakistan, the travelers entered Peshawar (from Jalalabad in Afghanistan). From Peshawar they went to Lahore. Some took a bus into India while others visited Karachi and Swat before returning to Lahore and crossed into India.

The trail closed after the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran; the beginning of civil war in Afghanistan; and due to the reactionary nature of the Ziaul Haq dictatorship that came to power in Pakistan in 1977.

Very informative. I knew that hippies used to travel to Pakistan often in the 60s and 70s. However, I wasn’t aware of the existence of the “Hippie Trail”. The fact that the trail consisted of so many countries, as well as the reasons for its closing, are particularly interesting.

A quiet video of Pakistan

Re: Pakistan - A History in photographs

Even though it’s silent, I like the first video better, since it’s bright, colourful and includes women in the public sphere. And although there is some sound in the second video, it looks less bright, not as lively and the only females (I can see) out in the open consist of little girls.

Re: Pakistan - A History in photographs

Pakistan is a great country which has beautiful people, beautiful landscape and beautiful culture as you cannot define it words, images or videos but you can feel and observe all these things when you live in that country.
