I Am Pakistan
I Am Pakistan
In other words they say that
Pakistan is a bad country. However, I do not only feel indeed I can claim
that this is not Pakistan.
Pakistan comprises of versatile,
talented and peaceful people who aspire to do great things for the nation.
Pakistanis are not corrupt, hypocrites or criminals; in fact they are the
people who devote their lives for the well being of the country.
Thousands of times the question
“what is actually Pakistan” arose in my mind. The answer to this is that I am
Pakistan, our countries youth that works hard to succeed, our teachers who
serve the nation by spreading their knowledge, our parents who rear great
children that light Pakistan’s name with pride and our loyal soldiers are
Pakistan.

producer of hand sewed footballs producing 40-60 million footballs a year, which
is 50-70% of the total production of footballs in the world Brazuca the
official football for FIFA 2014 was made in Pakistan.
The world’s largest deep-sea port,

attain nuclear power. The Karakorum Highway is the highest paved international
road in the world. Muhammad Ilyas who is the youngest civil judge in the world

Pakistan has the largest canal based
irrigation system in the world. In spite of the general perception that
Pakistanis do not contribute to saving lives, Pakistan yet has the largest
running network of ambulances. Pakistan is the sixth most populous country in
the world.
K2 that is the world’s second
highest peak is located in Pakistan. Khewra salt mines are the world’s second
largest salt mines producing 350,000 tons of salt per year.
The world’s ninth-largest
subtropical desert is located on the border of India and Pakistan. Shandur Polo
Ground is the world’s highest polo ground also known as “the roof of the world
“.
In the past five years Pakistan’s
literacy rate has grown by 250%; this is largest increase in any country to
date. World’s youngest certified Microsoft experts; Arfa Kareem (late) and
Babar Iqbal are Pakistanis.
Pakistan has the sixth largest

top three tunes of the world. Fourth largest broadband internet system is in
Pakistan.
Pakistan is notable for having one
of the best trained air-force pilots in the world. The highest railway station

The first PC virus was created by
two Pakistani brothers; that is not to be proud of, but the pride lays in the
fact that they had the brains to do so. Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan hailed as
the most important Qawwali singer of the twentieth century.

These remarkable people and facts
are Pakistan. This height and this greatness is Pakistan and these are the
facts that every Pakistani should be proud of. I feel that being labeled hurts,
but the only label with which you and I both feel pride with is “Pakistani “.
Pakistanis are not the ones who
blasted ASP, Pakistanis are not the ones who blasted the Jinnah International
Airport(Karachi), they are not the ones who murder. They are not venal, in fact
the ones who do all these brutal deeds are not Pakistanis, but terrorists and
even if they are living in Pakistan they are not to be called Pakistanis.
I feel that all Pakistanis are
soldiers, some with and some without a uniform and all of them are struggling
hard to make this country as pure and as good as gold. Our forces, our
teachers, our parents and even our farmers who work on fields day and night and
perspire to provide their country with a handsome revenue are to be appreciated.
Our brave nationals Rashid Minhas
Shaheed,Major Raja Aziz Bhatti Shaheed, Aitizaz Hassan Shaheed and many more
who gave their lives for the sustenance of this country are to be saluted.
There is a vehemence of belonging
and patriotism in every Pakistani that takes them and Pakistan to the roads of
success. I wish that all terrorism and corruption is obsolete from Pakistan so
that it may be recognized as a peaceful country which it actually is but,
because of some people it’s true image is being obscured.
