Every year on 14th August, Pakistan celebrates its Independence Day with great enthusiasm, pride, and patriotism. This day marks the birth of our beloved homeland in 1947, when the Muslims of the subcontinent, under the visionary leadership of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, achieved freedom from British colonial rule and established an independent state where they could live according to their religion, culture, and values.

The Pakistan Resolution, passed on 23rd March 1940 in Lahore, laid the foundation for the creation of Pakistan. After years of relentless struggle and negotiations, the dream of millions became a reality on the midnight of 14th August 1947, when Pakistan appeared on the world map as a sovereign state
