1971 Press Photo Hindu boys wear crucifixes in Jaliprar for protection

Three Hindu boys wear crucifixes at Jalirpar where frightened Hindus have besieged Christian missionaries for conversion in the belief that Pakistani soldiers will not harm them if they wear crucifixes. The Hindus have been targets of military operations that began March 25 when West Pakistani troops moved in to quell the East Pakistani secessionist movement.
