1/3 I was sent the 1971 War Brochure (PDF) and one picture caught my attention . It was obvious the picture was cropped and the three chiefs are smiling at someone.. I found the pic on the net and its obvious why it was cropped. 🙄 #1971war Look we get it. you dont want to give .
2/3..any credit to Mrs. G.. in which case just go ahead and use some other picture .. selective cropping of images from history doesn't do our generation any good.. Now if you think it's a one-off - I got news for you. #1971war
3/3 The chiefs are actually sitting down with Babu Jagjivan Ram, the Defence Minister. So past Defence Ministers are not worth retaining in the photos as well? #1971war
it appears this brochure was released officially at @IAF_MCC 's conclave in Bengaluru. @VishnuNDTV @manaman_chhina indianairforce.nic.in/wp-content/upl…
This has got the attention of @ThePrintIndia - @sneheshphilip went digging around and was unable to find out its origins.. theprint.in/defence/myster…
