This black-and-white photo, taken in 1975 (1354 in the Afghan calendar), offers a glimpse of Kabul’s streets during a time of peace, well before the wars and prolonged crises that followed. In this image, people can be seen walking leisurely through the streets of Kabul, and there is no sign of the war or insecurity that would later devastate the country. The city looks calm, with a sense of everyday tranquility.
At that time, Kabul was known as a modern and progressive city in the region, and its residents led relatively peaceful lives without the looming threats of violence and conflict. The urban landscape, with its clean streets and bustling shops, reflects the economic and cultural vibrancy of the era.
In fact, this image serves as a symbol of a time when Afghanistan had not yet experienced the political and military crises that would later engulf the country. The period, especially in the late 1960s and early 1970s, was marked by significant social and economic changes. During this era, Kabul functioned as a cultural hub with active universities, cinemas, cafes, and shopping centers, where people enjoyed the normal rhythms of life without the looming specter of war.
This photo, though taken in the past, evokes a sense of nostalgia and serves as a reminder of a golden era for many Afghans who look back on those days in the shadow of decades of war and instability.
