Independence Day of Pakistan observed
annually on 14th August, is a national
holiday in Pakistan. It commemorates the day when Pakistan achieved
independence and was declared a sovereign nation following the
end of the British Raj in 1947. Pakistan came into existence as a
result of the Pakistan Movement, which aimed for the creation of an
independent Muslim state in the north-western regions of South
Asia via partition.The movement was
led by the All-India Muslim League under the leadership
of Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The event was brought forth by the Indian
Independence Act 1947 under which the British Raj gave
independence to the Dominion of Pakistan which comprised West
Pakistan (present-day Pakistan) and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh).
In the Islamic calendar, the day of independence coincided with Ramadan
27, the evening of which, being Laylat al-Qadr, is regarded as sacred by
Muslims.The main Independence Day ceremony takes place in Islamabad, where
the national flag is hoisted at the Presidential and Parliament buildings.
It is followed by the national anthem and lives televised speeches by
leaders. Usual celebratory events and festivities for the day include
flag-raising ceremonies, parades, cultural events, and the playing
of patriotic songs. A number of award ceremonies are often held on this
day, and Pakistanis hoist the national flag atop their homes or
display it prominently on their vehicles and attire.
