A Day of Promise to Work for the Progress of Pakistan
‘’We should have a State in which we could live and breathe as free men and which we could develop according to our own lights and culture and where principles of Islamic social justice could find free play.’’
-Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Every year on March 23, Pakistan Day is observed nationwide as it holds great historical significance for the country. This day is celebrated with great zeal in Beaconhouse I-9 Campus, serving as a reminder to children of the hardships and sacrifices necessary to gain freedom.
The Muslims are not a minority. They are a nation by any definition. By all canons of International law we are a nation.
(On 23rd March, 1940 at the historic session of the Muslim League at Lahore)
A brief yet informative talk on Pakistan Day’s history opened the occasion. The Lahore Resolution of 1940, a key turning point in the struggle for a Muslim nation on the Indian subcontinent, was brought up with the students to emphasise our ancestors’ unwavering efforts, which culminated in the establishment of Pakistan on August 14, 1947. The students were taken back in time via historical narratives and anecdotes, which helped them develop a profound understanding of the battles that led to the establishment of our country’s sovereignty.
‘’May Allah bless the day our beloved country was demanded on; 23rd March 1940, Pakistan day.’’
One of the highlights of the event was a soul-stirring choir performance, echoing the spirit of unity and
patriotism. A rousing choral performance that echoed the spirit of unity and patriotism was one of the event’s highlights. A patriotic song filled the air as the melodic voices coordinated, inspiring a sense of pride and community among the crowd. Students expressed via song their steadfast dedication to preserving the principles that Pakistan was built upon.
There was an obvious feeling of pride and unity in the air as the event came to an end. Our school’s Pakistan Day celebration served as a moving reminder of the ideals and values that unite us as a country through a combination of historical insights, cultural manifestations, and instructional discourse. Let’s keep Pakistan Day’s legacy inspiring future generations by preserving its spirit of togetherness and perseverance as we look to the future.
‘’If we want to make this great State of Pakistan happy and prosperous, we should wholly and solely concentrate on the well-being of the people, and especially of the masses and the poor.’’
-Muhammad Ali Jinnah
