Turkish businesswoman Canan Çelebioğlu:

We entered India and became the largest ground handling company there.

I was obsessed with India — I called it my second country.

Last year, around May 15th, the Indian government shut us down.

They seized all our equipment, transferred 10,000 employees to another company in a single day — and wiped out a value we had built of perhaps $400–500 million.

Gone in one day.

Put the financial loss aside. That place was built stitch by stitch.

We spent years pushing the government to change policies, to develop the sector.

And I loved India. That's what made it so shocking. It truly devastated us.

Jerome Bonaparte, youngest brother of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and the only one among Napoleon's brothers to ever be photographed, 1850...

Born in 1784, Jerome was nearly 20 years younger than Napoleon and outlived all of his brothers.

Napoleon made Jérôme King of Westphalia in 1807 after defeating Prussia. The kingdom, created from German territories under French control, introduced several reforms inspired by the Napoleonic Code, including the abolition of serfdom and modernization of legal systems. However, the kingdom collapsed after Napoleon’s disastrous Russian campaign in 1812.

Following Napoleon’s final defeat at Waterloo in 1815, Jérôme spent years in exile before eventually returning to France. Under the rule of his nephew, Napoleon III, he regained status and later served as Governor of Les Invalides in Paris.

This photograph was taken around 1850, roughly 30 years after Napoleon’s death on Saint Helena.

Jérôme Bonaparte’s grandson, Charles Joseph Bonaparte, later founded the organization that became the FBI in the United States in 1908.

An ethnic nuristani man and his son in rural eastern Afghanistan...

The Nuristani people are one of Afghanistan’s most culturally distinct and historically fascinating ethnic groups, living primarily in the rugged, mountainous region of eastern Afghanistan near the Pakistan border. For centuries, their remote valleys helped preserve unique traditions, languages, and physical features that set them apart from neighboring groups.

Until the late 19th century, the region was known as Kafiristan, meaning “Land of the Unbelievers,” because the Nuristanis practiced an ancient polytheistic religion unlike the surrounding Muslim populations. In 1896, Afghan ruler Abdur Rahman Khan conquered the region, leading to its conversion to Islam and renaming it Nuristan, meaning “Land of Light.”

Nuristani communities remain deeply tied to agriculture, livestock, and strong clan and family structures. Many still wear traditional clothing, with men often wearing distinctive caps and layered garments suited for the harsh mountain climate. Their languages belong to a rare Indo-Iranian branch spoken by relatively small populations, making them linguistically significant to historians and anthropologists.

Nuristan is one of the most linguistically diverse regions in Afghanistan, with at least six distinct Nuristani languages, many of which are not mutually understood even between neighboring valleys.
