Essay Independence Day

Pakistan gained independence from British rule on August 14, 1947 after efforts led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who believed Muslims could only live happily with their own independent homeland governed according to Islamic ideology. The Muslims of the subcontinent had sacrificed for years as a religious minority under British rule. On independence day, Pakistanis celebrate with enthusiasm, dressing in green and white colors, visiting national monuments, and spending time with family and friends. Schools hold functions for children to sing songs and enjoy meals without regular classes. While independence is celebrated patriotically, Pakistanis should reflect on whether the country has achieved Jinnah's dream.

Essay: Independence Day

It was the 14th of August when the Muslims of the


subcontinent were able to get a land of their own,
where they could live life according to their
religion. 14th August 1947, Pakistan gained
Independence after remarkable efforts made my
Mr. Muhammad Ali Jinnah who was a man of
great caliber and had the belief that Muslims
could only live happily when they would own a
country led by their own people and a country
that would be according to the ideology of Islam.
The Muslims of the subcontinent gave many
sacrifices for several years as they were not
allowed to practice their own religion with
freedom as they were the minority. However, the
efforts made by people like Muhammad Ali
Jinnah, Allama Iqbal and Sir Syed Ahmed Khan
made sure that their sacrifices did not go in vain
and they were able to provide the Muslims an
independent homeland.

Independency day for any country is like a festival


and the people of Pakistan celebrate this festival
with enthusiasm and joy. They unite together
under the green and white flag of Pakistan and
rejoice their happiness with friends and family.
People from all over the country have different
ways of celebrating the Independence Day. Some
people dress up in green and white to show their
love for the country while others visit national
monuments like Minar-e-Pakistan and Quaid-e-
Azam’s Mausoleum. Many people also use this
opportunity to meet up with relatives and give
gifts to their loved ones.
Children also enjoy this day to the fullest. There
are functions arranged across all schools in the
country where children sing national songs, dress
up in green and white and enjoy scrumptious
meals. They do not have regular classes on this
day which allows them to have free time off due
to which children look forward to the
Independence Day. There is also a trend in many
homes to decorate their houses with flags and
paper flags and from adults to children everyone
participates in doing the decorations. Such is the
spirit of the people of Pakistan as patriotism runs
in their veins.
It is necessary that people of the country pay
tribute to their heroes as it was only their efforts
which allowed them to have an independent
nation. The people of Pakistan also remember and
pay tribute to those who dedicated their lives to
earn freedom for them. A change of guard
ceremony is conducted on the national
monuments of the country including the
mausoleum of Muhammad Ali Jinnah the founder
of Pakistan and at the Mausoleum of Allama Iqbal
who was also the father of the ideology of
Pakistan. There are various Independence Day
programs aired on the television throughout the
day and multiple concerts held during night time
in various parts of the country.
Although the people of Pakistan celebrate the
Independence Day with patriotism and great
passion, they should remember what Jinnah’s
dream was and they should always questions
themselves whether they have made this country
according to his dreams or they have forgotten
the reason for the formation of Pakistan.
