These pictures are from the book “17 September Days” by Aziz Baig. Liberty Printing Press: 1965. He was a journalist and served as the editor of Dawn. This book was much praised for it’s factual contents. No wonder a search on google with his name takes you to an Indian customs page, telling ppl that import of his book “Captive Kashmir” into India is not allowed!!!
BTW, my father served as the Proof Reader on this project. He’s got a copy of Captive Kashmir too!

They are from a book that was published and printed back in 1966. The paper and print quality has been affected by the age factor. And I won't count of them being 'hand tinted'.
You can only paint with the colors you're given...
...so get what you like and like what you have.
You guys had three classic wars in '48, '65 and '71. It is now somewhat different, as the potential might of the two nations has attained a much more fearsome capability. There was death and glory in these three conflicts. Today, the emphasis would be weighted towards death, not glory. Just a thought. In some respects, war should be a historic term, not future prospect.
