THE MAKING
OF A NATION!
Symbols of Pakistan 6
Etymology of PakistanChoudhary Rahmat Ali gave the name Pakistan to the
newly born state of the Muslims. He devised the word and first published it in the article written by him as "Now or
Never“ on 28th January 1933. He constructed the name as an acronym of the different regions constituting the country,
which is described as: P for Punjab, A for Afghania (Now
known as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), K for Kashmir, S for
Sindh and the suffix -stan from Balochistan, thus forming
"Pakstan". An "i" was inserted later for ease in pronunciation. The suffix -stan in Persian means, "home
of" and in Sanskrit means, "place". The Persian word pāk, which means "pure", adds a beautiful shade of meaning, with
the full name thus meaning "land of the pure". The name was criticized for not including Bangladesh in it.

Independence DayIndependence Day (Youm-e-Azadi), observed annually on 14th of
August, is a national holiday in Pakistan, for celebration of the day when Pakistan came into being and was declared an independent and
sovereign state, following the end of the British Raj in India on August 14, 1947. Pakistan came into existence as a result of the political struggle
by Pakistan Movement, that was aimed for the creation of an independent and sovereign Muslim state by making the partition of north-western region of the Indian subcontinent. The movement was led by All-India Muslim League under the dynamic leadership of Quaid-e-Azam
Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The division of sub-continent was brought forth by Indian Independence Act 1947 in which the British Indian
Empire was divided into two new states — the Dominion of India (later Republic of India) and the Dominion of Pakistan (later Islamic Republic of Pakistan) which included West Pakistan and East
Pakistan (now known as Bangladesh).

State EmblemThe State Emblem was adopted in 1954. It symbolizes
Pakistan's ideological foundation, the basis of its economy, its cultural heritage and its guiding
principles. The four components of the emblem are a crescent and star crest above a shield, which is
surrounded by a wreath, below which is a scroll. The crest and the green color of the emblem are traditional symbols of Islam. The quartered shield in the centre shows cotton, wheat, tea and jute, which were the
major crops of Pakistan at the time of independence which signify the agricultural base of the
economy. The floral wreath, surrounding the shield, emphasizes the cultural heritage of Pakistan. The
scroll supporting the shield contains Muhammad Ali Jinnah's motto in Urdu, which reads from right to left
as “Imaan, Ittehad, Nazm“ that is translated as "Faith, Unity, Discipline" which are the
fundamental and guiding principles for Pakistanis.
