THE MAKING

OF A NATION!


Etymology of PakistanChoudhary Rahmat Ali gave the name Pakistan to the

newly born state of the Muslims. He devised the word and first published it in the article written by him as "Now or

Never“ on 28th January 1933. He constructed the name as an acronym of the different regions constituting the country,

which is described as: P for Punjab, A for Afghania (Now

known as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), K for Kashmir, S for

Sindh and the suffix -stan from Balochistan, thus forming

"Pakstan". An "i" was inserted later for ease in pronunciation. The suffix -stan in Persian means, "home

of" and in Sanskrit means, "place". The Persian word pāk, which means "pure", adds a beautiful shade of meaning, with

the full name thus meaning "land of the pure". The name was criticized for not including Bangladesh in it.


National Flag

The flag was adopted on August 11, 1947. The white color represents minorities whereas green color represents Muslim majority population of the country. In the

centre, the crescent and star which is traditional symbol of Islam, symbolizes progress and light for the nation respectively.


Minar-e-Pakistan was built at the same place where Qarardad-e-Pakistan was unanimously approved by All-India Muslim League on 23rd of March 1940. The minar

was opened for public visits on March 23, 1969.

Independence DayIndependence Day (Youm-e-Azadi), observed annually on 14th of

August, is a national holiday in Pakistan, for celebration of the day when Pakistan came into being and was declared an independent and

sovereign state, following the end of the British Raj in India on August 14, 1947. Pakistan came into existence as a result of the political struggle

by Pakistan Movement, that was aimed for the creation of an independent and sovereign Muslim state by making the partition of north-western region of the Indian subcontinent. The movement was led by All-India Muslim League under the dynamic leadership of Quaid-e-Azam

Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The division of sub-continent was brought forth by Indian Independence Act 1947 in which the British Indian

Empire was divided into two new states — the Dominion of India (later Republic of India) and the Dominion of Pakistan (later Islamic Republic of Pakistan) which included West Pakistan and East

Pakistan (now known as Bangladesh).


Qarardad-e-PakistanObjectives’ Resolution

(commonly known as Qarardad-e-Maqasid) was unanimously passed on March

23,1940 in the procession of All-India Muslim League held at Lahore.

This resolution was the formal demand for the separate homeland for the

Muslims of South-East Asia.

NATIONAL SYMBOLS

http://www.virtuallandmedia.com/img5/h-lines2/l023.gif


State EmblemThe State Emblem was adopted in 1954. It symbolizes

Pakistan's ideological foundation, the basis of its economy, its cultural heritage and its guiding

principles. The four components of the emblem are a crescent and star crest above a shield, which is

surrounded by a wreath, below which is a scroll. The crest and the green color of the emblem are traditional symbols of Islam. The quartered shield in the centre shows cotton, wheat, tea and jute, which were the

major crops of Pakistan at the time of independence which signify the agricultural base of the

economy. The floral wreath, surrounding the shield, emphasizes the cultural heritage of Pakistan. The

scroll supporting the shield contains Muhammad Ali Jinnah's motto in Urdu, which reads from right to left

as “Imaan, Ittehad, Nazm“ that is translated as "Faith, Unity, Discipline" which are the

fundamental and guiding principles for Pakistanis.
