Our Heritage

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.

    Will that day come?

    I am not sure, all i see is dooma nd gloom and we have evolved to be self ahting, identity hating , western culture loving people.

    The only thing we care abotu is the possession of more and mroe brands, to speak better freign language in the best accent and to earn as much possible moneya s possible by our affiliation or relation to any country but our own.
    And they include me:(

    What a shame!

    The best part is there are still people who I know who care about our country and who are working towards it, to build it and make it better unfortunatly they aren;t many.

    Best of luck to all those and may Allah help them n protect them and give themt he power to change, ameen.
