Independence Day: (Urdu: ‫یوم‬‫آزادی‬ ;
Yaum-e Āzādī),observed annually on 14 August, is a
national holiday in Pakistan. It commemorates the day
when Pakistan achieved independence and was
declared a Sovereign nation following the end of the
British Raj in 1947. Pakistan came into existence as a
result of the Pakistan Movement which aimed for the
creation of an independent Muslims state by division of
the north-western regions of South Asia. The movement
was led by the All-India Muslim League under the
leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The event was
brought forth by the Indian Independence Act 1947
under which the British Raj gave independence to the
Dominion of Pakistan (later the Islamic Republic of
Pakistan) which comprised West Pakistan (present-day
Pakistan) and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). In the
Islamic calendar, the day of independence coincided
with Ramadan 27, the eve of which, being Laylat al-
Qadr , is regarded as sacred by Muslims.
The day of 14 August 1947! This day is a day that the
world will always remember. This day was called the
Indian Muslim, living in Muslim majority areas over which
they should be separated as an independent state. 14
August 1947 the day, when it was the vision and
commitment to reality and Pakistan emerged on the map
of the world. Muslim League and Quaid-e-Azam
Muhammad Ali Jinnah played a major role in the
independence movement of Pakistan. After the
independence of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad
Ali Jinnah was the first Governor General of Pakistan.

5. Chapter 2:
National Anthem:In early
1948, A. R. Ghani, a Muslim from Transvaal, South Africa,
offered two prizes of five thousand rupees each for the poet and
composer of a new national anthem for the newly independent
state of Pakistan. The prizes were announced through a
government press advertisement published in June 1948. In
December 1948, the Government Of Pakistan established the
National Anthem Committee (NAC) with the task of coming up
with the composition and lyrics for the official national anthem of
Pakistan. The NAC was initially chaired by the Information
Secretary, Sheikh Muhammad Ikram, and its members included
several politicians, poets and musicians, including Abdur Rab
Nishtar,Ahmed G. Chagla and Hafeez Jalandhari. The NAC
encountered early difficulties in finding suitable music and lyrics.
When President Sukarno Of Indonesia became the first foreign
head of state to visit Pakistan on 30 January 1950, there was no
Pakistani national anthem to be played. In 1950, the impending
state visit of the Shah Of Iran added urgency to the matter and
resulted in the Government of Pakistan asking the NAC to
submit an anthem without further delay. The NAC Chairman,
then Federal Minister for Education, Fazlur Rahman, asked
several poets and composers to write lyrics but none of the
submitted works were deemed suitable. The NAC also
examined several different tunes and eventually selected the
one presented by Ahmed G. Chagla and submitted it for formal
approval.On 21 August 1949, the Government Of Pakistan
adopted Chagla’s tune for the national anthem.
The anthem, without lyrics, was performed for the first time for a
foreign head of state on the state visit of the Shah of Iran to
Pakistan in Karachi on 1 March 1950 by a Pakistan Navy band.

6. It was later played for Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan during his
official visit to the United States on 3 May 1950. It was played
before the NAC on 10 August 1950.Official recognition to the
national anthem, however, was not given until August 1954.The
NAC distributed records of the composed tune amongst
prominent poets, who responded by writing and submitting
several hundred songs for evaluation by the NAC. Eventually,
the lyrics written by Hafeez Jullundhri were approved and the
new national anthem was broadcast publicly for the first time on
Radio Pakistan on 13 August 1954, sung by Hafeez Jullundhri
himself. Official approval was announced by the Ministry of
Information and Broadcasting on 16 August 1954. The
composer, Ahmed G. Chagla, died in 1953, before the new
national anthem was officially adopted. In 1955, there was a
performance of the national anthem involving 11 major singers
of Pakistan, including Ahmad Rushdi, Shameem Bano, Kaukab
Jahan, Rasheeda Begum, Najam Ara, Naseema Shaheen,
Zawar Hussain, Akhtar Abbas, Ghulam Dastagir, Anwar Zaheer
and Akhtar Wasi Ali.

7. Music:
The Qaumi Taranah is a melodious and harmonious
rendering of a three-stanza composition with a tune based on
eastern music but arranged in such a manner that it can be
easily played by foreign bands.
The music, composed by the Pakistani musician and
composer, Ahmad G. Chagla in 1949, reflects his background
in both eastern and western music. Twenty-one musical
instruments and thirty-eight different tones are used to play
the Qaumi Taranah,the duration of which is 80 seconds
Ahmad G.Chagla composed the music of the
National Anthem of Pakistan in 1949

8. Hafeez Jalandhari wrote the lyrics of the
National Anthem of Pakistan in 1952
Lyrics:
The Urdu lyrics, written by the Pakistani Urdu-language poet,
Hafeez Jullundhri in 1952, have commonality with Persian,
making them understandable in both languages. No verse in the
three stanza lyrics is repeated.

9. Pakistan in
Subcontinent :
The Pakistan Movement did not start abruptly. It
grew out of necessity, slowly and gradually.
Muslims of India were surrounded by the inimical
alien rulers and well organized Hindus.
The British had not forgotten the war of
independence waged by the Muslims against them.
The History of Pakistan tells us that Hindus had
never forgiven the Muslims for having ruled India
for centuries. Therefore, both the communities
conspired against the Muslims to turn them into a
poor, helpless and ineffective minority.

10. In the History of Pakistan an annual meeting of the
Muslims League which was held at Allahabad in
1930 was presided over by Allama Iqbal who in his
presidential address said the N.W.F.P. Punjab,
Sindh and Balochistan should be combined in one
state. Allama Iqbal further said that there was no
way out; it was destined to become an independent
state because this was the only way by which
Muslims could live an honorable life. They must
have a homeland so that they could preserve their
culture, civilization and modes of worship. Thus a
forceful demand was put forward the imagination
of the Muslims who started working hard for the
preservation of their rights and ultimate
independence.

Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

11. Muslim worked day and night to achieve the goal
of Pakistan and the supervision of Quaid-i-Azam
Muhammad Ali Jinnah. To attain this great purpose
Muslims sacrificed their lives. Their efforts became
fruitful and Pakistan became the first country on
the world by the name of religion.
On the 14th of August, 1947 the sub-continent was
divided into two parts, Pakistan and Bharat. Lord
Mountbatten came to Karachi and transferred the
power to Pakistan. Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali
Jinnah was appointed as the first Governor-General
in the History of Pakistan. Acting on the golden
principle of unity, faith and discipline, the Muslims
established a true and everlasting Muslim State of
which we are all so proud.
