Pakistan’s Day Parade is our Pride!

Pakistan- A name that alone can race the hearts of million Pakistanis. A home to 197 Million people, The beat of 197 Million hearts, and the love of everyone’s Life!

The love and the zeal we feel about our homeland is very natural, ever since we are born, this land Shelters us and then after we die this land cradles us inside!

As today’s date, 23rd March, is a little more special to us all because it is a remarkable day in the history, Pakistan Resolution was passed in 23rd March 1940. Pakistan was established as Islamic Republic in 23rd March 1956.

The struggle for a separate homeland started from 1857 which started with a rebellion and then turned into a war, the Muslims were ruled by tyrant and unjust heads, many of them were killed and punished everyday.

Leaders such as Sir Syed Ahmed Khan worked tirelessly for the political, social and economic uplifting of Muslims, Allama Muhammad Iqbal, a poet and philosopher, put forward the ideal of Muslims being a separate nation. Iqbal is accredited for weaving the Two-Nation theory, an ideology that eventually made the creation of Pakistan possible, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, also worked day and night for our independence and is the founder of Pakistan!

Pakistan’s Day is celebrated with so much love in Pakistan, with the rise of the sun, the flag is hoisted on every building, A 31-gun salute in all its glory is given!! A main feature of Pakistan Day celebrations is a parade at Constitution Avenue in Islamabad, then an award ceremony is organized where the president gives military and civilian awards to recognize recipients’ achievements and contributions to Pakistan.

Speeches, Debates, food festivals, Parties are held everywhere, and people seem to enjoy this day to the fullest.
