Today marks the 76th Independence Day of Pakistan, a significant moment that resonates deeply with the Pakistani people who’ve ardently strived for their sovereign homeland.
The genesis of Pakistan was the result of decades of tireless struggle by the Muslim League under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The League advocated the concept that Muslims in the Indian subcontinent constituted a distinct nation deserving their own autonomous state. This belief, founded on the “Two-Nation Theory,” posited Muslims and Hindus as separate entities with divergent cultures, values, and interests.
The formative years of Pakistan encountered political instability and economic challenges. Yet, the nation gradually forged ahead, achieving a level of stability and prosperity by the 1960s.
In 1971, East Pakistan seceded, giving rise to the independent nation of Bangladesh. While this posed a significant setback, Pakistan persevered and is now recognized as a regional force.
