DEFENCE DAY OF PAKISTAN

YESTERDAY WE WERE STRENGTHENED BUT TODAY WE ARE UNCONQUERABLE.

6th September, 1965 is a day that is not only being commemorated as the Defence Day of Pakistan but also declared as the Youm-e-Difa. On this day comfortably sitting at our homes we can say with proud and dignity that this is our motherland that has been irrigated by the blood of our brave and courageous soldiers. The whole nation knows that how our bold, daring and valiant tigers of Pakistan forces shattered the projected, organized and furtive rebel of the opponent. They destroyed and demolished the self-respect and honor of the massive Indian forces into ruins and debris. 

Pakistan is not a fruit of single day effort and struggle. Its foundation lies on two nation theory proposed by Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, with the resoluting spirit of Molvi Fazal-ul-Haq, with the dedication and faith of Allama Muhammad Iqbal and last but not the least under the charismatic and invincible leadership of our great leader Quiad-e-Azam Muhammmad Ali Jinnah.

Even though after the independence of our beloved state Islamic Republic of Pakistan on 14th of August, 1947 Hindus promoting false thoughts in their minds were unable to bear the thought of an independent and separate Muslim state progressing and advancing towards its final goal for which the state came into existence i.e. Fort of Islam right after 18 years planned to attack at midnight at the back like hen hearted. But the Fort of Islam gave them a great set back by protecting their land, air and sea for five weeks and reminding them that the forces they are fighting against were the sons of Tipu Sultan, Khalid bin Waleed, Muhammad bin Qasim and Sultan Salhuddin Ayubi.

Even today according to Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah “We stand united as one nation.”
Enemies of the state clearly listen:

“We were unconquerable yesterday, we are unconquerable even today and we will be unconquerable in the future as well.”

LONG LIVE PAKISTAN, LONG LIVE PAKISTAN FORCES

PAKISTAN ZINDABAD, PAKISTAN FORCES PAINDABAD.

ARE WE FREE?

On August 11, 1947, Pakistan’s founding father Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah famously declared:
“You are free, you are free to go to your temples; you are free to go to your mosques or any other place of worship in the state of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed – that has nothing to do with the business of the state.”
Nearly 69 years have passed and Pakistan, our beloved country no longer bleeds green. The country now bleeds red. A country that came into being with the thought of preserving its own values, religion, culture and beliefs along with its national heritage by its ancestors who sacrificed their bones instead of bricks, blood instead of water and flesh instead of mud.
Now can we really ask ourselves are we free?
May be on paper or verbally we can say yes but what about the heavy taxes submitted by us as if we are trading black money, what about those mothers who send their kids to schools with the hope of their return but they never return, what about those wives who send their husbands on duty with the hope of seeing them again but they are martyred.
ARE WE REALLY FREE WITH THE FEELING OF INSECURITY? ARE WE?

Evolution in the Culture of Pakistan

DEMOLITION OF MORAL VALUES IN THE NAME OF CULTURE IN PAKISTAN

Pakistan, a state which came into being in the name of Islam. A state which was considered to be the only Islamic centred state in the whole south asia. After effortless struggle of great leaders and numerous sacrifices of our ancestors this state came into existence not only to equip their upcomng generation with a better place to live but also to safeguard the cultural values, traditons and beliefs.

A state born in 1947 with lots of hopes of optimism and positivity if we see it now where it is? If we compare present with the past everything has been changed since then. I don’t say that don’t progress or equip  yourself with the changing environment neither I say become stagnant and shut your eyes. But that doesn’t really mean that you forget your originality or uniqueness that makes you differet from others and indulge yourself such that you lose your own identity in the race becoming updated or in simpler words modern.

From politics to media, from home to school, college, university or office, from roads to parks or shopping malls, everywhere there is corruption, fear, terror and pessimism.  Hope and positivism are just lost.

If I talk about politics, the turn wise polictical rivalries are into the race by pulling eachother’s leg with the help of media. Media on the other hand which began its status with a single channel and now there are hundreds in number competing only for ratings regardless of what they are showing or promoting. In my opinion media is fueling pessimism more whatever the source or medium may be.

Then comes the home where young generation thoughts of being more accurate then their elders and disrespects their values and beliefs by simply figuring them as old ones. Same is the case at schools, colleges and universities latest fashion adoption is given more priority then quality education by the students irrespective of teacher’s requirement.

The involement of indian and english values in our islamic values has ruined the our current and forthcoming generation. This state since its birth is surviving safely from its enemies and from us only because of some miracle otherwise in my opinion we haven’t left any effort to destroy it with our own hands. The dream of a peaceful Pakistan has already been broken.

May ALLAH make us the source to keep our country safe and sound.
