From its origins as a memorial to British soldiers who perished in the First Afghan War to its restoration as a beacon of cultural heritage, each corner of the Afghan Church whispers tales of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring legacy of Bombay's connection with Afghanistan and the North West Frontier.
