national songs
Pakistan has always had a rich history of music anthems, ranging from the early fifties to the present time. Music enthusiasts have a special place in their heart for patriotic songs, which echo their love for their country. Pakistan’s Independence Day on August 14, celebrates the country’s independence from British rule in 1947. This day is an occasion to promote patriotism and national unity. People all over Pakistan celebrate Independence Day with zest. Many people who attend the Independence Day parades dress up in green and white, dancing to the beats of music legends who in their lyrics glorify Quaid-e-Azam’s vision of Pakistan. We at Sunday Plus took this opportunity to revisit our music greats and remember what they created.
