Pakistan is 69 years old. I see a flurry of banners and yappings proclaiming “Happy Independence Day”. Every newspaper and magazine I pick has these colorful messages along with photos of the ‘well wishers”.
I don’t believe all this nonsense. I think this is a SAD INDEPENCE DAY. Actually, it’s not even an independence day. What are we free from?
We are in the same clutches of ignorance (jahalat) that even the cave men would be ashamed of.
We are so busy cutting each other’s throats that we don’t even have time to look back at the mountains of skulls we are leaving behind.
We have a corrupt political system that produces illegitimate politicians faster than filarial parasites.
We have a corrupt religious layer that wants to take us back to the medieval times. The mullahs and madrassas turn innocent students into self-destructing killing machines.
What are we celebrating? Are we really free? Independent?
The colonizers haven't really left. They continue to rule via proxy. Give power to a select few feudal lords in every province. Ensure they continue to deny the public an education, rule of law and a basic infrastructure. The media focuses on yuppies living in the urban centers but that is a very tiny fraction of the population. We aren't free, we never were. Pakistan was always meant to be a breeding ground for zombies.
The Quetta incident was act of terrorism just to sabotage Independence day celebrations.
If we give in then there will be many more attacks on many other national days...
The Quetta tragedy is not because of earth quick or any other natural disaster...it is act of enemy to kill our morale...do you want to see him successfull?
Thousands of our Jawans from Police and Army and other security establishments have knowingly sacrificed their lives...
Thousands of Pakistani civilians were killed by our enemy...we were subject to the mass killings by our enemies...
Yes we spent Rs 50 billion on the celebrations of this Day...
I wish IK and other can understand 1% of what this day is about in the current circumstances....
I dedidcate this day to the martyrs of Pakistan...specially those men in uniform who knowingly went to the suicidal missions...but they do knew that if they dont then how can they bring smile and peace to back to our country.

“After Japan’s defeat in 1945, the country was divided into a northern area, protected by the Soviets, and a southern area protected primarily by the United States. In 1948, when the powers failed to agree on the formation of a single government, this partition became the modern states of North and South Korea. The peninsula was divided at the 38th Parallel: the “Republic of Korea” was created in the south with the backing of the US and Western Europe and the “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea” in the north with the backing of the Soviets and the communist People’s Republic of China. Stalin and Kim il-Sung launched the Korean War in 1950 in an attempt to reunify the country under Communist rule. After immense material and human destruction, the conflict ended with a cease-fire in 1953, but the two nations officially remain at war because a peace treaty was never signed. Both states were accepted into the United Nations in 1991.While both countries were essentially under military rule after the war, South Korea eventually liberalized, and since 1987 the country has had a competitive electoral system. The South Korean economy has prospered, and the country is now considered to be fully developed with a similar per capita economic standing to Western Europe, Japan, and the United States.”
During Mardood Munafiqul Haq time it was then called “Jashan-e-Azadi”. We used to go to our offices and deliver sermons to puppets and raise Pakistani jhanda. That song was sung during his rule by one Amjad Hassain, who left Pakistan many years ago selling kabab and tikka in NY after sacrificing his dil and jan on Pakistan.
