On 14th August we all celebrated the Independence Day with zeal and enthusiasm. Every year we take our kids to barbecues and watch fireworks and other entertainment, but do we really teach them to appreciate the rich history of our beloved country Pakistan? Did we teach our children the importance of Independence Day? Tell them about the sacrifices of millions peoples to get the freedom from the jaws of time servers.

The live nations remembered always their martyrdoms and advance their mission. Unfortunately we have become the dead motion nation, who live in present and have forgot the history of freedom, so null and void the lesson and importance of independence.

Quaid-e-Azam was declared the Pakistan, a welfare state for every one either Muslims or minorities, but the Pakistanis are searching welfare from the time of its birth. The dream seen by Quaid for this country has been come to nothing. The state has been run as per adhoc basis, where the welfare has become a daydream.

Right now we celebrate the Independence Day in huge & heavy firing at right time of 12.00, and create the harassment & irritation among the society. Are we giving this type of awareness and education to our children and young? Was the reward of independence?

In civilized countries the peoples gathered on their National Day and remembered their founders and martyrdoms. They visit the hospitals and old houses and do the philanthropy to celebrate the true Independence.

In the present, the need of teach the lesson of independence to our children is essential so that the cause to create the Pakistan at least to call a halt in their minds. But, in the mean time we are forget peoples of our history and an intellectual says, that nations are wipe out whose forgot their past.
