23rd March 2012- Pakistan Day
So Much Gratitude to God for
blessing us with our own beautiful country Pakistan, a land rich with culture
& resources and a place we all call home. A place which gave us our
identity, education, our livelihood…
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK
YOU GOD FOR BLESSING US WITH PAKISTAN…
Many congratulations to all
the citizens of Pakistan on
the Pakistan
Day.
For all
my foreigner friends who are unfamiliar with the Pakistan Day, it is the day
celebrated to honor three significant events; first the passing of the Lahore Resolution
on 23rd March 1940 by The Muslim League at the annual conference
held from 22–24 March in 1940. During this three days session Muslim League
passed a resolution for having independent states for Muslims under British
Raj in India,
however, subsequently it became a symbol for the demand of separate Muslim
state.
The
second reason is the adoption of the First Constitution of Pakistan and the third is the
change of the Dominion of Pakistan to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan on 23rd
March 1956. Pakistan is the very first Islamic
Republic country of the world.
The
reason to change to Islamic Republic was mainly to make Pakistan a part
of the Islamic world, to give cultural identity and to bring the state laws in
adherence with the Sharia laws.
Whatsoever
might be the physical realities of Pakistan today, we have to keep
ourselves optimistic and optimism would only come if we become absolutely grateful
for what we have today and we had through out our lives in this beautiful and
rich country of ours….
With
lots of Best Wishes!
Sonya.
