A very famous iconic picture of its time. Only the defeated Pakistani General seems grim while the others in stark contrast seem victorious: "...with the guns silenced, the Generals came together to talk about the terms of peace. The Indian General was cool, confident and gracious. The defeated Pakistani clenched his jaw..." - Kishor Parekh, Bangladesh War 1971.
