Pakistan 75 Indepedence Day
The creation of Pakistan as a result of India’s independence led to the division of British India into two countries – India and Pakistan. The decision was taken at the Partition Plan which was proposed by Governor General Lord Mountbatten on June 3rd, 1947. This plan divided British India into two separate states based on religion: Hindus in East Punjab, Sindh, and North West Frontier Province (NWFP), Muslims in West Punjab, Bengal, and Assam; or vice versa. This resulted in large-scale migration with around 12 million people going to their newly formed country as refugees from what is now Bangladesh as well as Uttar Pradesh (UP).
Pakistanis celebrate the day with national pride and unite to celebrate their motherland's freedom. It is a public holiday in Pakistan. The day is a mixture of excitement, festivity, and nationalism with people celebrating it in their own way. Many events are held all over the country to remember the achievement of independence from the British Raj (rule). The Independence Day celebrations start with the traditional 31-gun salute in Islamabad's capital and a 21-gun salute in all provincial capitals. This is followed by anthem songs, tributes to national heroes, and concerts by famous singers who perform patriotic songs. After this, an official ceremony occurs at the Minar-e-Pakistan monument where people gather to listen to speeches given by senior politicians, including the President and Prime Minister. The celebrations continue until midnight when fireworks display light up city skylines. Many Pakistanis fly kites on this day on rooftops or open grounds across the country. Some even go on holiday with family members to Northern areas, hill stations, or local parks to enjoy picnics and barbeque
Flag Hoisting Ceremony: The flag hoisting ceremony is
organized on the morning of 16th August 1947. In this event, all schoolchildren
and office-goers attend with their teachers and parents to witness this
majestic moment when Pakistan gained its independence from British India by
acclamation. After the national anthem was played, it was announced that all
schools would be closed for a day due to holidays; however, there were no
restrictions placed on public transport or travel within cities or towns during
these times as well.* National Anthem: Pakistan became independent on 14 August
1947 under British rule when both India and Pakistan adopted new constitutions
with different names but similar concepts at their core.* Independence Day
Parade: On 15 August 1947 (Independence Day), there will be a parade held
throughout major cities across Pakistan including Lahore where Governor-General Yousuf Ali Khan presided over events earlier today with Prime
