Re: Pakistan - A History in photographs

Obvious from the Shastri's cap and Ayub Khan's head shape! And the fact you have posted something about Tashkand treaty earlier!

By the way as a child then (late 60s and early 70s - we were very fond of eating "shastri ki botian"!

What a veiw! You do not see any tall buildings in the background! Incidentally 1980 was the year when Zia revived the celebrations of 14th August (another lolly pop by him)- before the years then, it used to be like a holiday only - no general public used to hoist the Pakistan flags!
