Pakistan Independence Day
Pakistan took into existence on 14th August, 1947 after immense struggle and sacrifice on behalf of the Muslims of the sub-continent. Since then the country’s existence and its growth has been a subject of constant struggle. The weak structure and chaotic governance was mocked by others. The survival of this country has been at stake for years. On 14th August.2022, Pakistan marks its 75th Independence Day. This country has come a long way from a struggling system to making its presence strong and powerful.
This country faced a lot of political dilemmas in the beginning. Death of Quaid-e-Azam in the mere years of infancy caused political and administrative disruptions. The constant change of power and shift of position in the first two decades caused the country to become a laughing stock among the international community. Along with that, back to back martial laws were a curse for the political system.
Today, after suffering and surviving the political instabilities, people are aware and understand the importance of democracy. On Pakistan Independence Day people have realized they need to work hard and believe in the country’s strength. People have stopped considering the Army as a sole institution responsible for the country’s betterment.
They now understand they need to work on the political and judicial structures and let them mature. Yes, even today no Pakistan’s Prime Minister has been able to complete its tenure. The havoc created after the removal of Imran Khan and mature form of opposition by the general people shows that people are aware of their basic rights of expression and also know how and when to properly channel it. This freedom of expression was missing among people in the former years of Pakistan
On Pakistan Independence Day, one can see that economically Pakistan has grown by leaps and bounds. The country that had to fight India to get its share of money from the Reserves bank and establish its economy has survived the economic upheavals quite impressively. From 1947 till 2018 Pakistan’s growth rate was 4.92%. During the corona outbreak rather impressively, where other developed countries had to struggle to survive Pakistan showed exemplary administrations. Though, at the times of global inflation Pakistan’s growth rate has decreased it is still trying to cope up and run the situation in better ways.
