Quetta, a city steeped in history and rich with cultural heritage. Located in the province of Balochistan, British India, it holds significant landmarks that tell tales of its past. One such landmark is the Military Staff College, which stands as a testament to Quetta's military prowess. It served as a training ground for officers during the colonial era, shaping leaders who would go on to serve their nation with honor and valor. Another notable site is Freemasons Hall, an architectural marvel that showcases Quetta's cosmopolitan nature. This grand structure stood tall amidst the bustling streets of Balochistan, symbolizing unity and brotherhood among its members. The Khojak Tunnel and railway are yet another marvel worth mentioning. These engineering feats connected distant regions within Balochistan, facilitating trade and transportation across British India. Nestled amidst picturesque landscapes lie the Murdar Hills and Barracks. These scenic surroundings provided solace to soldiers stationed there during the days of British rule in Quetta. Bruce Road tells stories of colonial-era elegance through its majestic buildings lining its path. A stroll down this road takes you back in time when Quetta was under British influence. The White Barracks stand proud as a reminder of Quetta's military legacy. Once home to brave soldiers who dedicated their lives to protect their land, these barracks hold countless untold stories within their walls. It also witnessed various events that shaped its social fabric. The Novel Competition held at Gymkhana brought together literary enthusiasts from all walks of life for an exhilarating display of creativity and talent. The Afghan War left indelible marks on Quetta's history; sketches along the route depict both triumphs and hardships faced by those involved in this conflict-stricken region. Installation ceremonies were not uncommon either; one such event captured on black-and-white film showcased the dignified crowning moment for Khan Kalat - a significant milestone for both him and his people.
