A 16 years old Kochi Pashtun lad and a 14 years old Hazara boy, Afghanistan, 1956. From 'The Geoghraphical magazine'. Caption: "(Above) A fourteen-year-old Hazara boy whose Mongol descent is manifest in his features. (Right) A sixteen-year-old Kuchi lad. Unlike the Hazaras whom the author found hardy and industrious, but inhospitable, the nomadic Kuchis, of Pathan stock, are friendly, amusing and gay. They are detested by the Hazaras, whom they in turn despise though trading relations are nevertheless active between them."
