Doing some research, I came across an official Pakistan government publication celebrating the 5 year anniversary of its existence. I scanned a few of the adverts in the issue. The paper I am writing concerns the “long history” of Pakistan such that allowed Mortimer Wheeler’s Five Thousand Years of Pakistan: An Archaeological Outline (1950) to become a standard account of pre-Partition “Pakistan”. Here, the ads themselves speak towards the need to assert the primacy of the Pakistani history.
Here are some other, random, images. Enjoy!

The google book and magazine search is a priceless place to discover things like LIFE magazine issues and other publications from 1940′s onwards. Things we’ve hardly seen before.
You need to go to the advanced search and give a date range and choose magazines.
Is there a date on this magazine? I didn’t see on in the scans here.
Aug 1953
