A Pakistani Story, 63 Years On

A Pakistani Story, 63 Years On

Pakistan is the modern incarnation of a people, a culture and a civilization that stretched across ten centuries and beyond from Central Asia to Sindh River basin, to India, uniting languages and cultures, from the Persians, Turks, and Arabs to Aryans, and Indians.

In its modern form, for 63 years since Independence in 1947, Pakistanis have shown themselves to be a resilient nation, marching against all odds. Our enemies have tried to punish us with terrorism directed against ordinary Pakistanis on many occasions, in the 1970s and 1980s, and during the past eight years. These days many of us face daunting challenges. Our people in Kashmir continue to face terror and repression. But Pakistanis are coming together to help their own.

Sixty-three years ago, skeptics claimed this nation won't survive. We had our share of setbacks but we also wrote a new chapter in the history of politics and nation-states.

 

Today, Pakistan's young, close to one hundred million, are now the guardians of the vision of the Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah. Pakistan is a proud, modern, Islamic nation. This is a story of brave women and men, products of a great history, now contributing to the global march of civilization with pride, a unique history, and a glorious future.
