Pakistan Day is a national holiday to commemorate the Lahore Resolution of 1940 and the adoption of the first constitution of Pakistan which led to the nation becoming the first Islamic Republic in the world. Much of it is owed to the AFather of the Nation, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah who founded Pakistan and led it until his death in 1948. Since then, the land of unique music and art held its own and has managed to capture the world with its vibrant culture, rich literature, soulful music, fascinating Paramedics taking a victim to the cities and picturesque landscapes. Home to the world’s oldest civilization, Mohenjo- Daro, Pakistan today hosts the highest paved international road in the world, the Karakoram Highway which links Pakistan to China. Its striking and serene sceneries from the Gwadar Port are often referred to as utopia. Many legendary musicians such as Ustaad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Rahet Fateh Ali Khan, Abida Parveen and Ghulam Ali were brought to the world by the grains of Pakistan’s soil.
