::History of Pakistani Flag::

* The national flag of Pakistan was designed

by Syed Amir uddin Hawaii and was

based on the original flag of the Muslim League.

8It was adopted by the Constituent Assembly

on August 11, 1947,

just days before independence.

*The flag is referred to in the National anthem

as Parcham-e-Sitāra-o-Hilāl in Urdu

(lit. Flag of the Crescent and Star).

* The flag comprises a dark green field,

representing the Muslim majority of Pakistan,

with a vertical white stripe in the hoist,

representing religious minorities.

* In the centre is a white crescent moon,

representing progress,

and a white five-pointed star,

representing light and knowledge.

*The flag symbolizes Pakistan's

commitment to Islam, the Islamic world,

and the rights of religious minorities.

* The flag is flown on several important

days of the year including Republic Day

and Independence Day.

* The flag was designed by Muhammad Ali Jinnah,

founder of the nation.

*It is associated with the flag used by the

All-India Muslim League as an

emblem of its aim of achieving

an independent Muslim state.

The flag was green,

with a central white star and crescent.

*At independence in 1947,

a white stripe was added at the hoist

to represent the state's minorities.

*The green and white together stand for

peace and prosperity.

*The crescent symbolizes progress,

and the star represents light and knowledge.
