The "MOST recognized photograph" from National Geographic magazine.
Her name is Sharbat Gula.
Gula's picture was taken by National Geographic photographer Steve McCurry. Gula was one of the students in an informal school within the refugee camp; McCurry, rarely given the opportunity to photograph Afghan women, seized the opportunity and captured her image. She was approximately 12 years old at the time.
Although her name was not known, her picture, titled "Afghan Girl", appeared on the June 1985 cover of National Geographic. The image of her face, with a red scarf draped loosely over her head and with her piercing sea-green eyes staring directly into the camera, became a symbol both of the 1980s Afghan conflict and of the refugee situation worldwide.
The identity of the Afghan Girl remained unknown for over 15 years; Afghanistan remained largely closed to Western media until after the overthrow of the Taliban government in 2001.
A second National Geographic team found Gula in 2002. Gula,then around the age of 30, was found in a remote region of Afghanistan; she had returned to her native country from the refugee camp in 1992. The image itself was named as "the most recognized photograph" in the history of the magazine.

Assalamu alaykum
Truly amazing pictures..it shows the stark reality of the world we live in.. Thanks a bunch for sharing those pics! I am fond of collecting such pictures and I couldnt save some of those pics, especially the ones the won the world press awards. How did you get these pics? I would be interested to know. Looking at the baby's picture being watched by the hawk makes me realise how blessed I am alhamdulillah and makes me extremely sad as well. I wish these pics are shown to the dictators and power mongers, who have been the main reasons for such things to happen. Perhaps it could bring in some change in them.
Here are some pics that are still unforgettable in my mind. Most of these are about the Gujarat riots as that was covered extensively all over the world.
The person in this pic along with a bunch of others ran to the terrace to escape from the rioters. The whole house was burnt. I believe this picture was taken a few hours before they all died. His eyes would tell you how much he is pleading for his life...
A very happy rioter enjoying success... I prefer not to say anything more
One more
Achievement of the above rioters - burnt muslim kids
This picture below has been on my mind ever since I saw it. I hate to think that there are people who could harm such innocent kids. This boy is 4 yrs old 97% of his body is burnt and all that remained when this picture was taken was that beautiful face and the innocent eyes. I hope this kid is still alive inshaAllah.
If only we could realize how blessed a life we have...

The hindus shown in the Gujrat riot pics are pure evil, how can anyone rejoice after causing death and suffering to so many innocent people, even young kids. Astagfirula. May Allah SWT ease the suffering of people around the world, Ameen.

There's a famous/infamous photo of a Viet Cong suspect being shot in the head, but it's far too violent to post, I think.
