1971: Prisoners of War Page #3

...where do we reach. Mansira is here and we are here!

Right in the east of Abudabad. - Right sir!

We cannot be to the west of Abudabad...

...because there are mountains all around. - You are right.

If you go towards east from here after about 40-45 kms...

...we are at Muzafarabad. And after about 100 kms to the

east...

...we have Baramulla and then Puri, which is our India!

Oh! We are so close to the border!

Absolute nonsense!

You are talking of the impossible!

Ajob is possible only if it is attempted.

This thing does not fall in that category.

You want to cross the border by deceiving...

...a country's whole military and their intelligence?

That too without a passport and without documents.

First of all the question is of escaping from here, sir.

I am not thinking of that question at all, major.

Because there is no solution to it.

Solutions are found if you search for them, sir.

We will not get such a chance to stay together near the

border.

Nor a chance to die together!

But sir, what is the guarantee that we will reach India alive.

When officers are talking don't interrupt!

Sorry sir!

Captain! - Sir!

There is a difference to stay close to the border...

...and to cross the border.

This is not a movie scene which is going on.

Then what should we do? Should we sit idle?

Why? We can wait for the repatriation.

We have been waiting for the past 6 years, sir.

The repatriation has not happened as yet.

Repatriation is a big thing, Captain.

To return so many prisoners is not a small thing. It takes

time.

And that time should make us insane.

Major, everyone knows that we are here.

Every newspaper has this news.

Red Cross Society and all the international agencies...

...know this news that according to the Geneva Convention...

...it is an international law...

...to return all the prisoners after the war ends.

And no country breaks this law easily!

What will you say about...

...the 6 years which we spent...

...according to the Geneva Convention?

Yes. So. The change is before your eyes.

Seeing this camp don't you think that they have realized it.

This is exactly my question, sir...

...that isn't this sudden realization in itself a shocking

matter?

Bringing us from different jails and keeping us together...

...and that too near the border, don't you smell a plan in this?

This was the last jail to be examined.

Now what do you say? - You speak, Anuradha.

But the letter was sent from Pakistan, isn't it?

It is clearly written in it that we are alive...

...and are held captive in jails of Pakistan

And I can very well recognize my husband's handwriting.

Look you have taken pains to come here from Delhi.
