How many hospitals or universities did we have in 1947? What was the poverty and literacy rate in 1947? How many urban cities did we have? What was our GDP back then? How many airports did we have back then?
And now fast forward to 2011. Thousands of universities and hospitals in Pakistan. Our Poverty rate is one of the lowest in South Asia, our literacy rate is low but compared to the 5% literacy rate back then its still not that bad. From being nothing but a vast land were now the most urbanized nation in South Asia. Our GDP has grown every year since 1951. Almost every city has an airport now.
From the snowy mountains in the North to the sandy deserts in the South we have it all. Go more South and you got the beautiful blue Arabian Sea. We Pakistanis are the same people that can fight through anything. A country which has seen a financial crisis, terrorism, natural disasters would probably collapse but us Pakistanis have held out heads high. Because no matter how hard you try to destroy us, we'll keep coming back. You beat us with fists, we'll come back with a bat. You beat us with a knife, we'll come back with a gun. And you beat us with a nuke, you better nuke us because we'll keep coming back and back until one of us is dead.
So please before saying we shouldn't be celebrating independence day and Pakistan hasn't done anything for us. Remember this what have you done for Pakistan?
