Simply beautiful. They have a great feeling to this as the image quality suggests old vacation pictures. I wish that I were able to attend the exhibit.

I being a Pakistani am ashmed of what happened in the then East Pakistan now Bangla Desh. The division of the sub continenant in 1947 nearly 2 to 3 million people were slaughtered than in the years of 1970’s again 2 to 3 million people were again slaughtered. for what ” for a new country ” are the poors of all the three country’s happy – No – even today No Food, No Shelter, No Self Respect, No decent Clothing – for the poors – but still the poors love their country maybe they have nothing else to love.

I am proud to be a Bangladeshi. liked most of the comments but can’t understand what ‘Amitabha’ Said.

In our country, some of the Indians still want there should be a war between India & Pakistan related with the Kashmir. I think it will be the great way to tell them what exact happens when war takes place & with it how the innocent pepoles get affected with it.

I am a pakistani. No one has got freedom. The concept of freedom is no more there for subcontinent. If we were united as one country then perhaps we would have been one of the power country in the world as one nation, but due the selfish politicians and landlords we were seperated for their own interests.

To riaz khan,
We Bangladeshis strongly beleive that, we got freedom from greedy clutch of Pakistan in 1971. Now there is a chance that we can set a journey for ultimate freedom. But if were not free from Pak in 1971, still we would be hungry,poor and exploited. We will prefer unity with DEVIL rather than Pakistanis. You don’t have any idea what happened with us from 1947-71.

Very inspiring photos but we want to a whole lot of this.

Surprised and pleased to read the comments of riaz khan that there are people in Pakistan who think above the partisan interests of politician of both countries. We certainly do not have any enmity with muslims or pakistan.
Shukriya for comments

it is very hurting to see that Bangladeshis are using word Pakistan as an enemy. i dont think so, because the enemy being faced by Bengalis in 1971, and an ordinary Pakistanis till now is common. and that is dictators, and selfish politicians. General Ayyub illegaly occupied government and his misgovernance led to Bangladesh, General Zia killed millions and a Prime minister and misrule, General Musharraf misrule poor Pakistan and killed even innocent children and not spared women folk sitting in their houses. what bad did a common Pakistani to the bangai people, he/she him/herself bled with dictatorial governments and slefish politicians. it is very painful of hearing and reading such sentences that Pakistan did bad with Bangalis. This is hundered percent incorrect. the people of Paksitan are theirselves sufferer. it is the selfish military rulers and few slefish politicians who destroyed the great muslim country of Pakistan.
