OUR COUNTRY
Breathes there the man,
With soul so deed,
Who never himself said,
This is my own, my native land’
Above these lines are views of the poet. The poet says that a man who has no love for his country or motherland seemed to be unpatriotic. These people are denounced by all. The love of motherland or native land is the surest taste of life and living creatures. A man who has no patriotism is alive physically but dead in the soul. Love of a country is a hidden quality grownup is seemed to be one’s country. There is a proverb in English.
East or west,
Home is the best.
Our beloved country is the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. It came into being on 14th August 1947. It has four provinces, Sindh, Punjab, N.W.F.P and Baluchistan. It is full of natural resources and green grassy land. Its irrigation system is one of the best systems in the world. It has been developing by leaps and bounds since its birth. Its geographical situation is of great importance. It has Afghanistan and Iran in its west, China in the north, India in the east and in the south lays the Arabian Sea. Our country is an agricultural country because more than 60% of people are engaged in agriculture. It holds the central position among the Muslim countries. It is known as the fort of Islam. It is a sole Muslim country having the status of “NUCLEAR ATOMIC POWER”. Urdu is its national language whereas Sindhi, Punjabi, Balochi, Pashtoon, Saraiki, and Dhatki, are its regional languages.
It is a densely populated country with a population of 150 million. The minority of its population lives in rural areas. Its literacy rate is up to 47%.
The color of the flag is dark green and white representing majority and minority respectively. Fruits and fishes are its major exports. Its land is very fertile.
We have gotten it from the British through the efforts of Quaid-e-Azam and others. Quaid-e-Azam became its first Governor-General. We have to try our best to develop our country in every way because the grandeur and greatness of a country are hidden in its brave, honest and hard-working people.
I am proud of my country.
