Flag of #Pakistan hoisted for the first time in Razmak Waziristan in August, 1947.

Notice the natives in the background, & on rooftops who flocked to the Razmak cantonment to watch the flag hoisting ceremony marking the beginning of independence of Pakistan.

I have seen this photo in a Jan 1949 magazine published by Pakistan govt which probably means that it was taken by a Pak photographer in 1948. But since it doesn't say so explicitly in the magazine, I can't confirm the credits and source of the photo.

Yes and his family is well respected to this day. The reason being that he worked for betterment of the people. Unlike other nawabs he did not subjugate people and established a welfare state. People's lives actually downgraded when it officially became part of Pakistan.

Not India but British Raj

Not India but British Raj

Nice to see members are begining to see throw the smoke of false rendering history. What existed before should never be conflated with post 1947 Bharat just because it chose the style 'India;.

This is like I pretend to be Ali the boxing legend because my name is Ali. What existed prior to 1947 was a British colony constructed by them with use of force. No natives chose to join it but were beaten into submission and then annexed into their empire.

That colony which had British subjects, issued British passports and British flag was disolved in 1947 - from that British colony there are four successor states - Myanmar, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan.
