On August 14th 2014 we celebrate
Independence Day Pakistan
August 14th, 1947, Pakistan received its independence from Great Britain along with separating from India. The day is now celebrated with the flag being displayed throughout the country, the President and Prime Minister broadcasting speeches to the nation, 31 gun salute in the capital, as well as parades and the traditional fireworks.
The weeks prior to the celebration are filled with sports and cultural festivals as well.
Happy Independence Day Pakistan!
