Essay on patriotism

1. Patriotism
1- Patriotism means love for the motherland or devotion to one’s country. A petriot loves his
country and is willing to sacrifice when the need arises. The word patriot comes from the Latin
word ‘petriota’ which means countryman it is considered a commendable quality.
2- Patriotism gives people the strength and courage to safeguard the interest of the country
and nation. For a patriot the sovereignty integrity and honour of the country are of supreme
values on which no compromise can be made. Patriots render sacrifice for the preservation and
protection of these values.
3- Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was a nation builder and a great patriot. He wanted
to protect the values, culture and traditions of the Muslims of the subcontinent. He gave the
Muslims a sense of identity by securing a separate homeland for them. He said:
“ We must develop a sense of patriotism which galvanizes
us all into one united and strong nation.”
4- The spirit of patriotism makes a stay alert in case of foreign invasion. In the history of
Pakistan there are many instances when people laid down their lives for the defence of the
country. In the wars of 1965, 1971 and the Kargil War, many brave soldiers gave their lives in an
attempt to protect the homeland. Captain Muhammad Sarwar, Major Tufail Muhammad, Major
Aziz Butti, Pilot Officer Rashid Minhas, Major Muhammad Akram, Major Shabbir Shareef,
Sowar Muhammad Hussain, Lance Naik Muhammad Mehfooz, Captain Karnal Sher Khan and
Havildar Lalak Kan-all embraced martyrdom while fighting bravely for their motherland. All of
them were awarded Nishan-e-Haider, the highest military award given to great Patriots who lay
down their lives for the country.
5- Patriotism therefore is not just a feeling it is a live spirit that continuously inspires and
guides the nation. In the word of S.W. scott, a man devoid of Patriotic spirit is like the one who:
“Breathes there the man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land.”
