PAKISTAN RESOLUTION DAY

23 March- PAKISTAN RESOLUTION DAY

23rd March of 1940 a milestone in the struggle of all the Progenitors and great leaders to achieve an independent country, Pakistan. The Lahore Resolution or Qarardad-e-Lahore, popularly known as the Pakistan Resolution or Qarardad-e-Pakistan, was presented by A. K. Fazlul Huq and was the formal political statement adopted by the Muslim League at the occasion of its three-day general session on 22–24 March 1940 that called for greater Muslim autonomy in British India, held at Manto Park (now Iqbal Park), Lahore. The Lahore Resolution had been largely interpreted as the demand for a separate Muslim state.

Mr. Sikandar Hayat Khan, the then Chief Minister of the Punjab, drafted the original Lahore Resolution. The Resolution was placed before the Subject Committee of the All India Muslim League for discussion and amendments. The Resolution text unanimously rejected the concept of a United India on the grounds of growing inter-communal violence and recommended the creation of an independent Muslim state.

Mohammad Ali Jinnah officially known and revered in Pakistan as Quaid-i-Azam, a 20th century great politician and statesman, who is also regarded as the founder of Pakistan. In these sessions held at Lahore he propelled the Two-Nation Theory and exhaustively focused his address on the reasons for the demand for separate Muslim homeland. According to historians this was the moment when Jinnah, the former ambassador of Hindu-Muslim unity, totally transformed himself into Pakistan's great leader.

To articulate the fortitude of the people in those times in few words is far beyond my inadequate writing competence and I could not dare to embark upon enunciating the integrity of those spirits. Nevertheless, in all my humbleness the Two-Nation Theory as I understood with my meager intellect was presented keeping in view the poor living conditions and paucity of opportunities available to Muslims. In the times of British Raj in India, Hindus being the majority of the population and Muslims although being a major minority were not given equal opportunities to health, education, employment, standard of living, and foremost the security of life for Muslims was negligible.
All I could say is, we as a nation shall always be in deference and owe a tremendous debt to hundreds and thousands of people who lost their lives, their loved ones to bestow us with the gift of our own country; a land where we could live and breathe with freedom and dignity.


With love and million prayers for the peace & prosperity of all.....

Sonya. (Day 51)

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS): What It Actually Feels Like

Wow! It feels nice to be back to my favourite place in the world, my blog, my love. But today it seems that the world has rotated 360 degrees. As I was trying to figure out how to tap into this new world order I thought the best way is to ask my Higher Power to guide me through. And what a better way to do that, other than recite a prayer ‘Dua Istikhara’ a supplication used by Muslims to seek guidance from Allah before making a decision. If we just read the translation of this supplication: “O Allah, I seek guidance from Your knowledge and power and ask You from Your great bounty. Surely, you can do it, and I am not. You know, and I do not, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this matter is good for me in my religion, life, and end, then decree it for me, make it easy, and bless it for me. But if You know that this matter is bad for me, in my religion, my existence, and my end, then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree for me what is g...

3 January 2019

After fighting with an alien cat in my dream, I am awake at 1.30 am. It all is followed by a futile effort of building a sleep pattern of 9.30 pm to 6 am. Alas, not all wishes come true at once. No problem I will keep on working. Being a really smart gal I have messed up with my sleep-wake cycle long ago, and today when I accidentally opened Rujuta Diwekar’s video on cortisol on my facebook page- I realized what has been going on with me.  For all of you who are not aware that I am a distant relative of Kareena Kapoor Khan and Rujuta is the link who tied  Kareena and me  together. You all must be wondering why have I never discussed this earlier, why I took so long to disclose my bond with Kareena. Let me explain.   Rujuta Diwekar is a God’s blessing for all the fools like me who for some stranger reason believe(ed) that going on USA or UK-based diet programs would make us patla (thin/ lean). It was Rujuta’s eating desi ghee and daal sabzi ch...

The Telecom Bill That Slipped Through While Pakistan Looked Elsewhere

While we were all mourning the petrol price hikes and drowning in the chaos of inflation, IT Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja quietly tabled the Pakistan Telecommunication (Re-organisation) (Amendment) Bill 2026. Most of us didn't even notice. The bill amended the 1996 Pakistan Telecommunication (Re-Organization) Act. It redefined certain terms and replaced Section 27A on Right of Way with a new Section 27B. What sounds like routine legislative work is anything but ordinary. This bill grants state-backed authorization to telecom companies to take over any private property or land and install 5G infrastructure including mobile towers and fiber-optic networks wherever they please. No consent required. No negotiation. Just entry and installation. The astonishing reality is that this draconian bill which grossly violates the fundamental rights of Pakistanis was approved by majority vote in the National Assembly on June 11, 2026. Not a single member objected. Nobody raised their voic...
