This is up to the 1960's. The modern history of Pakistan is just depressing.
Wow, this is pretty awesome. Hope you keep updating it :)

The picture of Azra Haque was beuatiful. The tale by Rakesh Bakshi (son of the famed Indian lyricist Anand Bakshi) was touching. Rakesh was an acquaintance of mine in college and I like many others was a fan of his father. I had no idea about the partition backstory.
OMG! Such a beautiful collection of memories. I could feel the-then-life in these!
IT would be great if you add some description to photos as for youth like me these are just bunch of black and white snaps.
Great compilation.
Great knowledgeable work compiled.Through this we come to know about our history of great achievements.
