In times when we as a nation very earnestly await change, I feel that it is also necessary for us to not forget our roots. Our culture, our religion, our politics, our history. Alhamdulillah, we have a heritage that is both diverse and rich. We hope to build upon the foundations of the same rich heritage and to one day stand among the leading nations of this world. May that day come very soon. Aameen!

This video from BBC Urdu shows the Independence Day events of August 14, 1947. One can see rare glimpses of people and events here including Mr. Jinnah, Lord Mountbatten, Liaqat Ali Khan, Fatima Jinnah, Lady Mounbatten and many others. An excellent portrayal of our cultural, political and historical heritage.
