Who knew that the day?
On 14th August, Will tell the world in a way,
That both East and West,
Would come to know that there stands,
A country named Pakistan,
A lovely place, with sacred lands,
And a home for Muslims,
A Quaid effort, a poet’s dream,
And a struggle of a human flood,
A new beginning beyond a stream,
Filled with Muslim blood.
“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.”
It was a very special day for all Pakistani Muslims when they achieved independence and were declared a sovereign state following the termination of the British Raj in August 1947.

Pakistan Independence Day on August 14 could be considered a double day of liberation. Muslim Indians also fought to be free of British rule and later re-armed to battle for their nation-state, present-day Pakistan once part of the Indian subcontinent. After the British put down the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the Crown assumed full control during the British Raj period. This lasted until Pakistan’s independence in 1947. The Mountbatten Plan split Pakistan (comprised of West and East Pakistan) from India, creating an independent Muslim nation. In 1971, East Pakistan gained its independence, becoming known as Bangladesh. Today, West Pakistan is known simply as Pakistan. The main Independence Day ceremony ceremony is organized in Islamabad, where the national flag is hoisted at the Parliament and Presidency buildings. This is followed up by the national anthem and widely circulated and televised speeches by the President and Prime Minister of Pakistan. Pakistan Independence Day is a National Holiday in Pakistan. The creation of Pakistan is an astounding one and quite a unique occurrence in modern history. Pakistani Muslims faced lots of problems in getting a separate homeland, but our great leader Quaid e Azzam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, struggled a lot in getting a separate homeland for Muslims, so this struggle put a lot of effort and at last, Muslims got freedom and separate homeland. The concept of Pakistan and liberation for Muslims would have remained a pipe dream, had it not been for one man’s superhuman efforts and struggle to make it a reality. Muhammad Ali Jinnah was a barrister and politician, who later on became the father of the nation of Pakistan. Jinnah was the leader of the All-India Muslim League from 1913 onwards, until Pakistan’s independence. Both India’s Congress and the Muslim League welcomed Mountbatten’s plan. In July 1947, the British parliament introduced the Indian Independence Act. Separate provisional governments were established for Pakistan and India on July 20. Finally, the great subcontinent of British India was partitioned into the two countries of India and Pakistan on August 14, 1947. The partition was full of bloodshed and carnage. Since the inception of the idea of a separate nation for Muslims, Hindu brutality intensified and there was great opposition to Jinnah and the rest of the Muslim leaders’ ideas to create a sovereign identity for Muslims. Lineages and families were destroyed and tales of partitions are still collected and archived today.
You are free; you are free to go to your temples. You are free to go to your mosques or any other places of worship in the State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion, caste, or creed that has nothing to do with the business of the state.” ( Muhammad Ali Jinnah )
