[Original caption] The Waziris are a native race inhabiting the north-west frontier of India - the province immediately next to Afghanistan. They are of a lower standard than the average Indian, being noted thieves, their main object in life being to gain possession of a rifle–either by fair means or foul, usually the latter. [end]
