Pakistan Zindabad Happy Independence Day

Pakistan's Independence Day is annually held on August 14th. It commemorates the day when Pakistan achieved independence and was declared an independent state, following the end of the British rule in 1947.

The concept of Pakistan would have remained a dream, had it not been for Muhammad Ali Jinnah, a Karachi born and London trained Barrister, who later became the father of the nation of Pakistan. His efforts and struggle made this impossible dream a reality for many Muslims. He was the leader of the All-India Muslim League from 1913 onwards, until Pakistan’s independence.

Independence Day held on August 14th is an official holiday in Pakistan. All governmental, non-governmental offices, organisations, educational institutions, post offices, and major markets remain closed. The people in Pakistan observe this day by wearing the country’s national colours. The Pakistani flag display colours of green and white. Green symbolises prosperity and good fortune and white denotes peace.

Pakistan's Independence Day also pays homage to people who devoted their lives for Pakistan's freedom movement and made sacrifices to attain independence.

The Mountbatten Plan carved the independence of India and Pakistan largely based on religious majority, with a Muslim majority in Pakistan and a Hindu majority in India. While the East Pakistan became Bangladesh after gaining independence, the West Pakistan is known simply as Pakistan today.

Both India’s Congress and the Muslim League welcomed Mountbatten’s plan. The great subcontinent of British India was partitioned into the two countries of India and Pakistan in 1947. Pakistan celebrates the day on August 14th, while India celebrates it’s independence on 15th August.

As Pakistan celebrates another year of Independence, the Crazy Creatives team wish you all a Happy Independence Day!
