An erstwhile journal published from Pakistan before the partition
A rather tattered cover of an erstwhile journal published from Lahore circa 1945, two years before partition. It is said that Lahore was also part of India at the time of partition, but then the administrators realized that while India had Amritsar, there was no major city on the Pakistan side. Lahore was therefore transferred to Pakistan and became part of that country. The idiot Radcliffe who did the partitioning was incompetent and it was a sham to put a man in charge who had not even visited this area before nor was aware of the topography of the place. Not that I have anything against Lahore being now in Pakistan, but the allocation could have been done more scientifically and with more maturity. (Amritsar, Punjab, northern India, Nov. 2017)
