EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Where every bullock becomes a boat" takes us back to the enchanting region of Kashmir in 1924. The image showcases a unique sight - natives skillfully maneuvering their boats made from inflated bullock skins on the serene Sutlej River. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the locals as they utilize animal skins to navigate through waterways. This traditional method of transportation highlights their deep connection with nature and their ability to adapt to their surroundings. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the photograph, allowing us to appreciate the simplicity and beauty of life during that era. It transports us back to an era where technology was not yet dominant, reminding us of simpler times when people relied on nature's offerings for survival. As we gaze upon this intriguing scene captured by Central News in the 1920s, we are reminded of how diverse cultures around the world have found innovative solutions for everyday challenges. This remarkable image serves as a window into history, offering glimpses into forgotten traditions and ways of life that continue to inspire curiosity and admiration today.
