Chitra Katha photo poster No. 20: Pakistani students in the U.S. (Bengali, Dacca)
A Bengali-language photo page for USIS Dacca headed 'Pakistani student community in the United States', covering the fourth annual convention of the Pakistan Students Association of America at the University of Louisville, 20 to 23 June 1957. Photographs show speakers at podiums beneath American and Pakistani flags, a dancer and an audience. The tell is transfer-by-setting: the shared flags and hosts place the U.S. as the welcoming venue for Pakistani students.
