August 14, 1947 is the day engraved in gold in the history of Pakistan. It is the day when Pakistan attained its freedom from the clutches of a long slavery of over 200 years of the British rule. It was a long and hard struggle in which many people laid down their lives for our beloved motherland. Pakistan came into existence following the Pakistan movement, which aimed for creation of an independent Muslim state by partition of the Indian subcontinent and was led by the All-India Muslim League under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The event occurred with the partition of India wherein the British Indian Empire was divided into two new nations — the Dominion of India and Dominion of Pakistan, which were later transformed into the Republic of India and Islamic Republic of Pakistan respectively. The world had seen the largest migration in human history. Muslims from all over India left their homes, businesses, wealth, land, etc, and migrated to Pakistan. Thousands of them lost their lives during the migration. Many families had been shattered. People in Pakistan welcomed them with love and happiness. The struggle for Independence was such a moving force that it united all people belonging to different castes, classes and beliefs into a single nation. Women also came out of their houses and significantly contributed to the freedom struggle. Women like Fatima Jinnah contributed greatly to the success of our freedom movement.
August 14 is celebrated as the Independence Day. On our first Independence Day, Quaid-e-Azam, our founder, hoisted the national flag, the green/white colour. 
The white and dark green field represents peace and prosperity.
The crescent on the flag represents progress.
The five-rayed star represents light and knowledge.
It midnight when the whole world was sleeping, Pakistan awoke into a great nation promising peace, prosperity, equality and liberty. Since then, the Independence Day is traditionally celebrated with zeal, fervour and great excitement. Every particle and pollen in the air seems to be charged with the love of the motherland on this particular day. One can see small children carrying small green/white-coloured flags in their hands running with zeal towards their schools early in the morning for flag hoisting ceremonies in the schools. Every vehicle has a green/white colour flying atop it. Songs full of patriotism can be heard at every street corner. People pay homage to the thousands of lives laid down by great men and women, remembering the countless sacrifices made. Even television channels and radio programmes are suffused with patriotism. Films based on patriotic themes are telecast to inform people, and especially children, about the various incidents of our freedom struggle to inspire love for our motherland. Newspapers too print special editions relating inspirational stories of great men excerpted from great books written by great men.
We celebrate our Independence Day with much fervour and jubilation. But when it comes to the night of August 14, we become oblivious to our values and ethics. But the question is that should we celebrate August 14 as our Independence Day or the Birthday of Pakistan? Pakistan did not exist as a country before August 14, 1947 and as such was never ruled by the British or any other foreign power. It was therefore not liberated or granted independence by anyone. It was created as an independent and free country right from its very inception. It was India that was ruled by the British and given independence by them. Pakistan took its birth at 23:59 hrs on the night of 14/15 August, 1947, one minute before India was given independence at 24:00 hrs the same night. As the date changes after midnight, therefore, Bharat became independent on August 15 whereas Pakistan came into being on the night of August 14, 1947.
Independence Day or the Creation of the Republic, thus, is an important day in the life of every Pakistani. Year after year, it reminds us of the great sacrifice and struggle made by our freedom fighters. It reminds us of the great ideals, which were the foundation of the dream of a free Pakistan, envisioned and realised by the founding fathers. It also reminds us that our forefathers have done their share of duty, and it lies in our hands now how we shape and form the future of our country. The country now looks up to us so that we may do our part.
all true
and based on reality
we have to focus on it
beautifull article
Now the majority Muslims in Pakistan are following the footsteps of their old colonizers – they’re persecuting and slaughtering Christians and other non-Muslims. Pakistan is not any different from all the Muslim-majority countries – intellectually, culturally, scientifically and socially backward. The Sharia Law governs these countries, women are second-class citizens, and anyone who criticizes Islam risks getting the death penalty. A country can only truly progress and its people be happy and free if there’s a separation of religion and state!
Fascinating and informative article. Your point about whether it is Pakistan’s birth rather than its independance that should be being celebrated, is certainly an interesting one. What do you think? Do the festivities highlight that what is actually being celebrated is the anniversary of the birth of a nation?
Dear Doc what I have observed is that the celebrations so far has been for Independence and not for birth of PAKISTAN
