EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of Fort and Lighthouse at Manora Point in Karachi, British India, circa 1900. The image presents a breathtaking view of the coastal fortification, standing proudly against the backdrop of the vast, tranquil Arabian Sea. The military structures, a testament to the British colonial rule, exude an air of grandeur and strength. The lighthouse, with its distinctive red and white stripes, stands tall, guiding sailors safely to the shores of Karachi. The Sindh Province, now part of modern-day Pakistan, was an integral part of the British Indian Empire during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The fort at Manora Point served as a crucial strategic point for the British military, protecting the coastline from potential threats. The calm waters and the serene atmosphere of the scene contrast sharply with the bustling city of Karachi that has grown around it. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of a bygone era, providing a fascinating insight into the colonial past of the Indian subcontinent.
