Beginning in The North-West of India
Guran Ditt Kumar (born ? – died ?), was a native of Bannu on the North-West Frontier Province, now in Pakistan. "Guran Ditta" is Punjabi for "Given By the Gurus" - a comparatively common name in the Sikh community, so his actual name is more likely to be Guran Ditta Singh.
In 1893 the 2,640 km long Durand line was created to separate British India from the rebel tribes in Afghanistan.
Kumar began his working life as an apprentice to an Indian photographer at Rawal Pindi.
