Jashn-e-Azadi: Happy Independence Day Pakistan

14th August marks Independence Day for Pakistan. It is a day to remember the sacrifices and efforts of past generations to build a strong country.

Initially, the Indian subcontinent was one but got torn by conflicts with a culminating point in 1857. Indeed, after the War of Independence, many ideas and ideologies emerged to protect the Muslim minority in the grand territory.

In 1906, The All-India Muslim League was established. In the month of October, the first committee of Muslim Leaders made their request for a separate state for Muslims to the viceroy of India in Simla.

Meanwhile, the lawyer and politician Muhammad Ali Jinnah later came as the most prominent activist and the founder of Pakistan. From 1913 till Pakistan’s independence Day, Jinnah was the All-India Muslim League’s leader.

Another visionary who pushed for the creation of a separate state was Allama Muhammad Iqbal. He made this suggestion in his presidential speech delivered on December 29, 1930, in Allahabad. The Allahabad Address was a historical revolution back then. In 1933, a famous leaflet titled “Now Or Never” mentioned the country's name "Pakistan" for the very first time.

The Indian Independence Act was later introduced by the British Parliament in July 1947. On July 20, interim governments were constituted for both India and Pakistan.

On August 14, 1947, the vast subcontinent of British India was finally divided into India and Pakistan. Pakistan became the Islamic Republic of Pakistan after changing it into a republic.

On Pakistan’s Independence Day, people commonly wear the national colors of green and white, symbolizing peace and prosperity. They walk through grand parades, chant the anthem, and visit historical places. Houses and national structures are decorated with flags and grand lights.

The Crazy Creatives wishes all the Pakistani members a very Happy Independence Day filled with love, joy, happiness, and peace. May the beautiful values left by the ancient generations set an example for a brighter future.

Sports:

Pakistan's men's cricket team won Men’s ICC World Cup (ODI) in 1992, T20 World Cup in 2009, and ICC Champions Trophy in 2017. Pakistan's women’s cricket team won ICC Women’s World T20 in 2009 and 2013.

In squash, Jahangir Khan won the World Open 6 times and the British Open a record 10 times, and Jansher Khan won the World Open 8 times.

Mohammad Yousuf won the IBSF World Snooker Championship in 1994, and Mohammad Asif won the same championship in 2012 and 2019.

2024 brought a gold medal for Pakistan. The 27 year old athlete Arshad Nadeem won the first gold Medal in javelin throw during Paris Olympics setting a new record of 92.97 metres. He reflects the image of resilience, hard work, simplicity, and sportsmanship. The whole nation will celebrate his victory along with Independence Day.
