Sindhi Cultural Day Speech

Sindhi Cultural is one of the popular cultures in Pakistan as well on different occasions students Speech on this topic. So, the Sindhi Cultural Day Speech is given below. Further, I am pleased to stand here in front of you to share my thoughts regarding Sindhi Cultural Day. Firstly, thank you all for joining us to celebrate Sindhi Cultural Day. What is Culture? Culture is an umbrella and a broad term that includes the norms, values, beliefs, habits, laws, religion, and capabilities of all the individuals living in a community or a nation. Culture is always linked to a specific nation or region. Nations or communities are always known for their culture and traditions. And we are happy for the people of Pakistan. And we here have four provinces and different cultures of the people living in all these four provinces.

Here I shed light on the Sindhi culture of the people living in the province of Sindh. Sindhi Cultural Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of December in Pakistan, especially in the province of Sindh. The people express their love for their own old heritage and cultural habits. The word Sindh was derived from the lifestream, known to the people with the famous name of Sindhu. The roots of this culture are believed to be connected to one of the oldest civilizations of the world which is the Indus Valley Civilization. It used to have its own customs, value, and traditions and some of the habits of the Sindhi culture were adopted from that culture.

Sindhi Cultural Day Speech

Well, don’t you all think, that we must appreciate every culture? We must try to explore every culture of the world. Why hold envy or grudges against any different culture? You know what is the specialty of Sindhi Culture or how you can instantly look at the person and analyze that he is a person belonging to Sindhi culture. The Ajrak and Sindhi Topi of Sindh are really famous. Ajrak is a block printed cloth of red and black color. And Sindhi topi also has the same texture and is circular in shape but has a cut at the forehead. The top adds a certain grace to the individual belonging to that culture. Don’t you think that wearing a cap will add up to the look and personality of any individual?

Yeah, how could I forget the language? The Sindhi Language is such a sweet and sour language collectively. It is an INDO-ARYAN language. And have words from other languages such as Sanskrit, Arabic, and Persian. The language is really loved by the people. And it is the third most spoken language in Pakistan.

And wow!! How can I forget the favorite dish of this culture? Hold yourself. Let not your mouth be watered for nothing. Well, the special dish of Sindhi Culture is Sindhi Biryani. The Biryani uses Twenty Spices which make it very flavorful and tasty which adds to the appetite of the individual. There are many more things to talk about in this culture. But the most cardinal thing to talk about is the nature of the Sindhi People. They are really very loving and caring. They are the ones who have pure hearts and are really hospitable. They are welcoming toward everyone. They are always ready to invite friends and family and show their love and kindness. This culture is really admired around the world.

Sindhi Cultural

Sindhi folk songs are really loved and admired by the people of the entire world. The ones who really have good taste in music love to listen to Sindhi Songs. The setting, dress, lyrics, and everything are so perfect in this culture. They clearly manifest their emotions and sentiments through their songs.

So, Don’t you think that we must celebrate such a loving culture openly and happily every year? Every culture must be given a chance to spread itself throughout the entire world. Let the world know what sort of grace you and your culture add to the world. Culture is something that must be represented boldly and bravely. One must never feel ashamed of whatever culture one opts. let the world chant your names and your cultural representation together. Every individual must be known through his culture.

Summing it up, cultural heritage and manifestation are the supreme part of our lives. We must celebrate every culture. But we have gathered here to celebrate Sindhi Cultural Day, so we will begin our event next. I hope that you will really enjoy watching the Sindhi Cultural Representations.

Above we have mentioned the details of the Sindhi Cultural Day Speech as well students can read about Sindhi culture.

Sindhi Culture History

The origin of the culture of Sindh goes to the far post. Archaeological study during the nineteenth and twentieth century has shown the origins of the religion, social interaction, culture, and religion of the Sindhi people: their farming methods, traditional crafts and arts, customs and beliefs, and some other aspects of social life, dating back to the established Indus culture of the 3rd Millennium BC. The latest study has traced the civilization of Indus Valley to earlier ancestry.

Archaeological discoveries

The digging of ‘Mohenjo Daro’ revealed the urban life of the civilized society with morals, distinct culture, and heritage. Thus, the 1st description of a Sindhi civilization originates from more than seven thousand-year-old ‘Indus’ civilization.

It is a ‘pre-Aryan’ age, around three thousand years BC. At that time, Sindh’s urban culture was at its best. In the book of ‘Robert Eric Wheeler,’ Indus Valley civilization, it is stated that: ‘Civilization, in the minimal meaning of this word, is an art of residing in cities, along all that it means in terms of disciplines and social skills.’

When people talk about Sindh’s culture, they involve themselves, particularly with the concrete and material human inhabitation side. Together with a northern portion of ‘Indus Civilization’ (almost 3000-2500 BC), today’s Sindh is situated in its cityfied civilization. ‘Rannikot Fort’ is a hallmark of the culture of this valley.

It’s the most massive fort in the world, with walls expanding Twenty km. It was named China’s 2nd wall and invited a huge number of tourists.

Sindhi Culture Language

The Sindhi dialect is old and most affluent in literary work. Its authors have contributed widely to numerous styles of prose and poetry. The literature of Sindh is vibrant and the oldest literature in the world.  The earliest and initial reference to the literature of Sindh can be found in Arab historians’ writings.

Translation of Quran in Sindhi

It is known that Sindhi was the 1st eastern dialect in which translation of the Holy Quran was done in the eighth or ninth century. A record exists of poets presenting their poetry before the Caliphs of Islam in Bagdad. It’s also known that the treatizes on history, medicine, and astronomy, were written and published in the Sindhi language during the eighth and ninth centuries.

Sindhi cuisine means the native cuisine of the Sindhi population. In most households, the daily meal consists of wheat bread (phulka) and rice, followed by two dishes, one dry with pickle or curd and one gravy.  Today, Sindhi cuisine is consumed in several countries, including India, where a large number of Hindu Sindhi emigrated after partition in 1947.

Sindhi Culture Food

Some foods are prepared for special events, such as:

Diwali a Bahji (vegetable meal)

It is called ‘Chiti-Kuni’ prepared with seven vegetables. Unique recipes are also prepared for recovery and healing from severe illness. For example, when anyone makes a complete recovery from Chicken Pox, it is customary to make an offer and make ‘mitho lolo,’ a delicious grilled flatbread.

The dough is made of wheat flour and oil or milk and sugar syrup. Sai bhaji chawal, a favourite Sindhi dish, includes white steamed rice consumed with spinach curry, having a tarka with garlic, onions, and tomatoes.

It is a popular flatbread made with wheat flour, is enjoyed well with any curd, dal,  and sabzi.

It is usually served as a sweet dish (sometimes milk-based) dessert, is popular: Muslim Sindhi is served on Eid ul-Fitr and Bakra-Eid. On important religious events, mitho lolo,  together with milk, is offered to the needy.

Sindhi Kadhi

It is a special and unique dish prepared on special occasions, particularly by Sindhi, who live in India. It consists of a thick spicy gravy prepared from chickpea flour, not the buttermilk, which is typically used to prepare kadi together with the season’s vegetables. It’s eaten hot along with rice.

Kheer Kharkun

It is a sweet dish cooked and served on the Eid ul-Fitr, cooked with a mixture of milk and dates, and simmered for a few hours. The food is consumed hot in the winters and cool in the summers.

Taryal Patata

It is also known as ‘Took Aloo,’ a staple diet of Sindhis, is a type of thinly sliced, fried, or deep-fried ‘potatoes’ with different spices. They are typically served at dinner in most rural homes and served breakfast and lunch with other dishes. One common way for Sindhi to have ‘patatas’ is to consume it with white rice with a ‘daal’ to accompany it.

Pallo Machi

It is a famous Sindhi cuisine, which is ‘Hilsha fish’ cooked with various methods. It could be deep-fried and sprinkled with spices or prepared with potatoes and onions or barbequed. Fish is mostly roe, called ‘aani’ in Sindhi, and is eaten as a delicacy.

Sindhi poetry is prevalent in the culture of Sindh. Shah Abdul Lateef and Sachal Sarmast’s poetry is very popular in Sindh.

Sindhi music has a unique quality of its own. It’s presented in a variety of different forms. Sufi music is played in shrines, and simple music is played in assemblies and studios.

There are a lot of regional games played in Sindh. ‘ Malakhiro’ is among the most popular sports in Sindh. Other games include Kodi Kodi, Wanjh Wati, Thipai Rand, Beelarhoo, Biloor and Notinn, soccer, and cricket.

Cultural Character

‘Graceful, with a beautiful, slow gait and gentle, they are keen on the Gandharvas’ art (i.e., dance,  music, and songs) and full of affection for the country.’

Cultural Day of Sindh

Sindhi celebrates the Sindh ‘Cultural Day’ annually on 1st December Sunday, wearing  Sindhi Topi & Ajrak. Musical activities are organized in several cities to celebrate it with enthusiasm.

Way of Celebration

Major monuments in towns & cities are adorned with the ‘Sindhi Ajrak’ to depict Sindh’s cultural values. People throughout Sindh give presents of Topi and Ajrak at different ceremonies. Both the women and children are dressed in Ajrak, gathered at the grand event, where notable Sindhi musicians sing Sindhi compositions depicting Sindh’s love and development.

The artists’ musical performances urge the attendees to perform on Sindhi songs and ‘Jiye Sindh Jiye Sindh Waraa Jiyan.’

Activities Organized for Celebrations

Sindh’s religious, Social, and political Bodies, including the Sindh Cultural Department and the Administrations of different educational institutions, arrange various functions, including conferences, debates, drama and theatre shows, folk music events, academic sessions, and tableau to celebrate this annual festival. The heritage history and culture of Sindh are illuminated highlighted in these events.

Depiction by Ekta Day

The day of Ekta (Unity) shows the harmony between ‘Sindi-speaking’ populace; the event takes place in Karachi and Sindh.

Reason for Celebrating Ekta Day

Solidarity and culture day of the province was held for the 1st time on 6th December 2009  (Sindhi ‘Topi’ Day) due to the remarks made by anchorperson Dr Shahid, who ridiculed Asif Ali (then president) for wearing the Sindhi cap during his International visits.

Sindhis criticized his remarks through messages, and it eventually led to the pronouncement of the celebration of the Sindhi ‘Topi’ Day. Also, Ali Kazi, a famous personality in Sindh, began issuing a notice to observe Unity’s Day. Many people replied to this announcement and began to celebrate the days of unity and culture. Since then, Sindhi media organizations have begun to mark the day as  ‘Ekta Day.’

Role of Media

The Sindhi dialect Television networks, including Sindh TV, KTN, Mehran TV, and Awaz TV, telecast special shows on Sindhi culture. Besides these media organizations, organize separate mega-musical activities, which also catch huge crowds to observe Cultural Day every year.

Sindhi Language Television networks and political groups celebrated the 1st Ekta Day together on 8th December 2013.

importance of urdu language

Table of Contents

Introduction:.

Urdu language, with its rich history and cultural significance, holds a special place in the hearts of millions worldwide. As a language that emerged from the fusion of Persian, Arabic, Turkish, and local dialects, Urdu carries the heritage of a diverse and multicultural past. It serves as a symbol of unity, bringing people together from different regions and backgrounds, and remains an essential component of our cultural heritage.

2. Brief history and significance of Urdu language:

Urdu traces its roots back to the 13th century when it evolved in the Indian subcontinent during the Delhi Sultanate. Its development was deeply influenced by the interaction between Persian-speaking rulers and local populations. Over time, Urdu flourished as the language of poetry, literature, and administration during the Mughal Empire.

2.1 Urdu as a symbol of cultural identity and heritage:

Urdu embodies the essence of South Asian culture, acting as a powerful unifier among people of diverse linguistic and ethnic backgrounds. It serves as a mother tongue to millions in Pakistan and is one of the 22 officially recognized languages in India. The language carries the legacy of our forefathers and connects us to our roots, reminding us of our shared heritage.

Consider the renowned Urdu poet Allama Iqbal, whose poetry remains a profound representation of South Asian cultural values, inspiring generations to embrace their identity and heritage. Here are three beautiful quotes and poetry by Allama Iqbal in Urdu: “خودی کو کر بلند اتنا کہ ہر تقدیر سے پہلے خدا بندے سے خود پوچھے، بتا تیری رضا کیا ہے؟” Translation: “Khudi ko kar buland itna ke har taqdeer se pehle Khuda bande se khud pooche, bata teri raza kya hai?” “ستاروں سے آگے جہاں اور بھی ہیں ابھی اشق کے امتحان اور بھی ہیں” Translation: “Sitaron se aage jahan aur bhi hain, Abhi ishq ke imtihan aur bhi hain” “یہ خوف ہے کہ تو غافل نہ رہ جائے ترکِ راز کبھی تو تجھکو بھی کوئی بنائے گا شاعرِ خدا” Translation: “Yeh khauf hai ki tuu ghafil na rah jaye tark-e-raz, Kabhi to tujhko bhi koi banaega shayar-e-khuda”

Allama Iqbal’s poetry carries profound messages of self-realization, spiritual awakening, and the pursuit of excellence. His verses continue to inspire people to reflect on their identity, connect with their roots, and strive for personal and collective growth.

2.2 Role of Urdu in National Integration:

Urdu plays a crucial role in fostering national integration and promoting harmony among the citizens of Pakistan and India. It serves as a lingua franca, allowing people from different linguistic backgrounds to communicate effectively and engage in cultural exchanges. Urdu serves as a bridge that unites people from diverse regions, religions, and traditions.

Example: Urdu language played a pivotal role during the freedom movement of the Indian subcontinent. Renowned leaders like Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and Maulana Mohammad Ali used Urdu to communicate their vision of a united, independent India, transcending linguistic and cultural barriers.

2.2.1 Preserving the Heritage of Urdu:

The cultural heritage of Urdu lies not only in its history but also in its literature, arts, and symbols.

2.2.2 Urdu Literature and Artistic Expression:

Urdu boasts a treasure trove of literature and poetry that reflects the cultural ethos of the region. Legendary poets such as Mir Taqi Mir, Mirza Ghalib, and Faiz Ahmed Faiz have left an indelible mark on Urdu literature , with their verses evoking emotions and showcasing the beauty of the language.

Example: Mirza Ghalib’s ghazals, filled with profound philosophical insights and captivating metaphors, continue to enchant poetry enthusiasts worldwide, preserving the literary heritage of Urdu.

2.2.3 Urdu in Education and Media:

Preserving Urdu in educational institutions is crucial to nurturing future generations and safeguarding the language’s cultural essence. It ensures that the upcoming youth can access the vast array of knowledge available in Urdu and connect with their heritage.

Example: Incorporating Urdu literature, history, and cultural studies in school curricula fosters a sense of pride in students, helping them appreciate their roots and identity.

Furthermore, the role of Urdu in media is vital in promoting regional diversity and cultural richness. Urdu-language newspapers, television channels, and radio programs contribute significantly to preserving the language and its heritage.

Example: Urdu dramas and films portray the social fabric of South Asian societies, depicting their customs, traditions, and cultural values, thereby preserving the essence of Urdu onscreen.

2.3 Urdu Language in the Digital Era:

In the digital age, it is imperative to adapt Urdu to modern platforms and technology to ensure its continued relevance and accessibility. Digitization of Urdu literature, online news portals, and social media platforms in Urdu contribute to the preservation of the language’s heritage.

Example: Digital libraries and online platforms that offer classic Urdu literature and poetry open doors for people across the globe to connect with Urdu’s cultural heritage.

The Urdu language is an invaluable asset that binds the people of South Asia in a tapestry of shared heritage and values. Preserving and promoting Urdu ensures that future generations continue to embrace their cultural identity while appreciating the cultural diversity that Urdu represents. Embracing Urdu as a symbol of our cultural heritage ensures that its legacy will shine brightly in the hearts of generations to come.

3. Unifying diverse communities through a common language:

The Importance of Urdu Language as a common language cannot be overstated, particularly in a region as diverse as South Asia. With a multitude of languages and dialects spoken across different states and provinces, Urdu serves as a unifying force, bridging the communication gap and fostering mutual understanding among people from various linguistic backgrounds.

3.1 Urdu as a language of communication and understanding:

His poetry urges people to embrace unity, self-awareness, and moral values, making it an integral part of Urdu’s literary heritage.

3.3 Urdu’s Cultural Symbols and Heritage:

Urdu language and culture are adorned with symbols that represent the shared heritage of the South Asian region. These symbols hold deep cultural significance and evoke feelings of nostalgia and pride among those who cherish Urdu.

What is it that has befallen your tender heart? In the midst of silence, in the valleys of twilight, The morning’s abode, the evening’s very beginning, That which was like a dream, remained as such, Some of it is lost, some of it remains concealed. You returned, but couldn’t call those, Who silently left, without revealing themselves. The heart, fragile and innocent, born, After you, it became the guardian of your way. The path of the heart, the path of the heart, I couldn’t reach that world, that world. In your eyes, there lies some charm, From your face to your tresses, some connections emerge. Connections emerge, yet the world of high knowledge, Where the eyes couldn’t reach, that world, that world. We know the reality of paradise, But, O God, make the dreams of the heart, a reality on this earth. Oh, naive heart, what has happened to you? What is it that has befallen your tender heart?

4.2 Urdu in Education and Media:

Urdu language has a significant presence in educational institutions and media platforms, contributing to its preservation and promotion. In schools and universities, Urdu literature, poetry, and prose are an integral part of the curriculum, allowing students to delve into the rich literary world and grasp the cultural depth of the language.

The beauty of Urdu poetry, particularly ghazals, captures the hearts of enthusiasts with its poignant verses and heartfelt emotions. Moreover, Urdu’s presence in education and media platforms ensures its ongoing relevance and widespread popularity. Preserving and celebrating Urdu language and its literary treasures is vital to maintaining the cultural essence and identity of the Urdu-speaking community.

5. Importance of Urdu language in the educational system:

Punjab and Pakistan / آزادی مبارک ہو Posted by Rachael on Aug 15, 2018 in Uncategorized

With our world today so defined by national boundaries ( قومی سرحدیں/qaumi sarhaden, fem. pl. noun ) that we have come to perceive as rigid and existent from time immemorial, it is difficult to conceive of a time when such boundaries existed only in the imaginations of a few and most people’s lives and perspectives ( نظریہ/nazariya, masc. ) were not defined by arbitrary designations of border and nationality ( قومیت/qaumiyat, fem. ). Prior to the Independence ( آزادی/aazaadi, fem. noun; آزاد/free, adj. ) of India and Pakistan from British Rule at midnight on the 14th and 15th of August, 1947, the Indian and Pakistani states of Punjab that we now recognize were one broad swath of territory that today, as two distinct states that are part of different countries, still share rich linguistic and cultural elements.

Now, as we approach the celebration of the Independence Days of Pakistan and India, on August 14th and 15th, respectively, it may be prudent to reflect on the brutal history ( تاریخ/taarikh, fem. ) that accompanied these days, often greeted with merriment today. It is difficult to conceive of the vast numbers of people who experienced displacement and violence due to Partition ( تقسیم/taqseem, fem. ). Essentially, over 14 million people were displaced according to their religion, which created a refugee catastrophe the likes of which it is difficult to comprehend, even today; people were desperate and terrified, not knowing what would happen from one day to the next, which resulted in widespread violence against people who were once beloved neighbors, but who were now construed as enemies based on a difference in faith ( مذہب/mazhab, masc. ).

The province of Punjab was particularly vulnerable to such violence and instability as it was home to a mostly Muslim population ( آبادی/aabaadi, fem. ) in its Western regions and a mostly Sikh and Hindu population in the East; in order to comply with the creation of Pakistan as a majority Muslim state and India as a secular one, Sikhs and Hindus living in the Western ( مغربی/magribee, adj.; مغرب/magrib, noun ) regions felt they should migrate to the East to ensure their safety, and the same was true for Muslims living in the Eastern ( پوربی/poorbi, adj.; پورب/poorab, noun ) regions.

Unfortunately, the governments ( سرکار/sarkaar, masc. ) of both countries ( دیش/desh, masc. ) were extremely ill-equipped to deal with this massive refugee crisis and the violence that accompanied it, resulting in a chaotic environment in which the rule of law, even if applicable, seemed irrelevant. Later, the eastern part of Punjab, now an Indian state, was further divided into what are now the states of Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. Despite the divisions sown amongst people who were once neighbors ( پڑوسی/parosi, masc. and fem. ) due to political propaganda and the fear and uncertainty prevalent at the time, culture and language are strong unifiers and are thus capable of crossing even religious ( مذہبی/mazhabee ) and national boundaries.

Evidence of this can be found today in popular culture, particularly music, such as in the following song, “Ki Banu Duniya Da” (“What has happened to the world/What has become of the world?” /  دنیا کو کیا ہو ا) that featured on Coke Studio India’s “Independence day” special, in which the Punjabi singers ( گایک/gaayak, masc. ) Gurdas Maan and Diljit Dosanjh bemoan the loss of South Asian traditions in the face of modernity and Westernization, including the hegemony of English as the global lingua franca to the detriment of South Asian languages ( زبان/zabaan, fem. ) like Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu. Interestingly, for this Independence Day special, Maan wrote additional verses to this traditional song ( گانا/gaanaa, masc. ) to express the sense of loss and cultural deterioration that the otherwise-joyous occasion of Independence Day leads one to reflect on.

Regarding Punjab and Pakistan, he sings that “this deal is not profitable for us,” ( سودا/saudaa, masc. ) referring to “Partition” as a sort of “business deal” that was not beneficial to the people it chiefly impacted: Indians and Pakistanis. He then refers to the Rivers Chenab ( چناب ), Ravi ( راوی ) and Sutlej ( ستلج ) as siblings ( بھاٴی بہن/bhaai behen ), once connected by geography as they traverse the Indian and Pakistani borders, but now separated by political dictates. He sings, “River Chenab often asks her sister River Ravi / How is my dear brother River Sutlej?” reflecting not only the division of the landscape but the sense of loss and estrangement felt by close neighbors and friends ( دوست/dost, masc. and fem. ) who, despite their mutual love for one another, were divided along religious lines by Partition. Concluding this section on Partition, the singer laments the fact that the “road to Peshawar is now distant and inaccessible” where previously it had been easier to reach this region. Moreover, he sings that “at the Wagah border / I look for those paths that once existed to Lahore, but sadly aren’t there anymore,” again expressing a division of the landscape that materially and negatively affects people’s lives on both sides of the border.

Although this division between the Pakistani and Indian sides of Punjab became law ( قانون/qanoon, masc. ), it could not stop the flow of culture and communication between remarkably similar people who had once peacefully coexisted. In fact, it is evident today that these two regions, despite national boundaries, cannot be completely separated due to the congruity of culture and language between them. In Pakistan today, about 44.7% of the population identifies as being part of the Punjabi ethnic group and another 48% of the population speaks Punjabi natively, far more than those who claim Urdu as a first or even second language (those who claim Urdu as a first language are at a mere 8%). Clearly, almost half of the population identifies strongly with Punjabi culture and language and that is further in evidence with the fact that many popular Pakistani songs are in Punjabi (such as those featured on Coke Studio Pakistan) and Punjabi is written both in the Gurmukhi script and the Nast’aliq ( نستعلیق )  script, the same script in which Urdu is written. As we can see here, language and culture are not subject to arbitrary political edicts that dictate national borders but are remarkable travelers ( مسافر/musaafir, masc. ), able to exist in many climes easily as long as the people who speak and practice them remain devoted to preserving them.

This concept of a separate entity of Hindu and Muslims has become the claim of Pakistan and moment of Pakistan and this concept was delivered in the form of resolution in the annual session of the Muslim League on 23rd March in 1940, which is known as Resolution of Pakistan or Lahore Resolution.

Moreover, in these areas, the respect of the minority’s religion, culture, economy, organizing, and other rights should be protected and should be discussed in detail in the constitution. When the Lahore resolution was accepted, Indian newspapers and Hindu leaders have to talk against it. The very next day, Partaab, Malapa, Tribune, and many other Indian newspapers have named Lahore resolution into Resolution of Pakistan even there was no single word “Pakistan” was used in that 23rd March 1940 resolution.

Speech On 23rd March 1940 In Urdu Essay Pakistan Resolution Day

In the presidential speech of 21st March, Quaid-e-Azam said that ‘Hindu and Muslims belong to two different religious, cultural and educational histories. These two nations can’t tie the knot to each other even they can’t sit together. Life and the concept of living are totally different from each other. Besides this both have different heroes and histories, both have changed perspectives. It is wrong to merge these nations into one nation. Muslims are a separate nation, whatever is the definition of a nation, and Muslims are ebbed to a separate nation so they should have a separate country and homeland where the government should be in their own hands. Pakistan was come into being when the first Hindu embraced Islam. This is the talk of that time when Muslims hadn’t built their empire. Muslim’s nationality is based on the Kalma Tauheed instead of homeland or cast.

After the commencement of this resolution, the attempt of Muslims to the establishment of Pakistan was properly shaped and they became more aggressive. Sacrifices of our ancestors, women, and children for the sake of separation of Pakistan have proved that they are a Muslim nation and deserve a homeland where they can spend their lives according to the Islamic concepts of life. So, we can say that this revolution boosted the spirits of Muslims and in the end, Pakistan became an independent state on 14th August 1947.

14th August speech in Urdu | چودہ اگست اور قیام پاکستان

14th August speech in urdu

14th August speech in Urdu . On 14 August 1947, Pakistan became an independent country. It happened one day before Indian independence day. India was divided.

East and West Pakistan were established from Muslim prevalence regions. Our Independence Day is celebrated yearly on 14 August. It is a national holiday in Pakistan. It commemorates when Pakistan attained freedom and was announced as a free nation in 1947.

That was the end of British rule in the Indian subcontinent. The main motive for partition was the two-nation theory presented by Sir Syed Ahmed Khan. It stated that Muslims and Hindus were extremely different and could not live in one country.

14 august aur Qayam e pakistan

چودہ اگست اور قیام پاکستان

زندگی مسلسل کوشش کر کے آگے بڑھنے کا نام ہے۔اپنی بقا کی جدوجہد اوراپنے مقصد حیات کو حاصل کرنے کا شوق انسان کو اس خلافت کا اہل بناتی ہے  جس کے لئےرب کریم نے اسے منتخب کیا ہے۔

انفرادی زندگی سے لے کر اجتماعی معاملات تک انسان پرچند قوائد و ضوابط کی پابند لازم ہے جن کے بغیرزمیں پر اس کی خلافت کا تصورممکن نہیں ہے۔

 سورة الزاریات کی آیت # 56 میں ارشاد باری تعالی ہے

  وَ مَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَ الْاِنْسَ اِلَّا لِیَعْبُدُوْن ِ ترجمہ: اور میں نے جن اور آدمی اسی لئے بنائے کہ میری عبادت کریں

عبادت انسان کے طرز زندگی اور اخلاقیات پر گہرے اثرات مرتب کرتی ہے۔ دنیا کے سب مذاہب کے طریقہ عبادت میں فرق نظر آتا ہے۔ اور اسی وجہ سے ان کی ثقافت بھی ایک دوسرے سے الگ ہے۔ یہی فرق”نظریہ پاکستان” کی بنیاد بنا اور قیام پاکستان کی وجہ بنا۔

۔وطن عزیزکی تحریک آزادی درحقیقت مسلمانوں کے  تشخص ،مذہبی عقائداورتمدن کے تحفظ کی ایک  بے مثال تاریخی جدو جہد تھی ۔اس تحریک کا مقصد مسلمانوں کے حقوق کا تحفظ اور ان کی شناخت کو واضح کرنا تھا۔ اس خیال پر عمل کے لیے ایک الگ وطن کا قیام لازم تھا ۔

اس جدوجہد کو تحریک پاکستان کا نام دیا گیا۔ اس کا آغازاس وقت ہوا جب 1930ء میں شاعر مشرق علامہ محمد اقبال نے الہ آباد میں مسلم لیگ کے اکیسیوں سالانہ اجلاس سے خطاب کرتے ہوئے برصغیر کے شمال مغربی حصےمیں جداگانہ مسلم ریاست کے قیام کا مطالبہ پیش کیا۔

14 august speech in urdu

اقبال رح کے اس خواب کو تعبیر دینے کے لئے مختلف  شخصیات نے اہم کردار ادا کیا جن میں چودھری رحمت علی  کا نام نمایاں ہے۔انہوں نے 1933ء میں “پاکستان”  کا نام تجویز کیا ۔ سندھ مسلم لیگ نے 1938ء کے سالانہ اجلاس میں برصغیر کی تقسیم کے حوالے سے قرارداد منظور کروالی۔اقائد اعظم 1930ء میں الگ مسلم ملک کے قیام کا فیصلہ کر چکے تھے ۔1940ء تک قائد اعظم نےقوم کو ذہنی طور پر علیحدہ وطن کی جدوجہد کے لئے تیار کر لیا۔اس کے بعد 23 مارچ 1940 کو لاہور میں “منٹو پارک” میں برصغیر کے مسلمانوں کا ایک عظیم اجتماع منعقد ہوا۔اس میں  ہندوستان بھر سے مسلمانوں نے  شرکت کی۔اس موقع پر ایک قرارداد منظور ہوئی جس کے مطابق مسلمانان ہند نہ صرف یہ کہ انگریزوں سے آزادی چاہتے تھے بلکہ ہندوؤں سے بھی الگ ہونے کے خواہشمند تھے۔

                                                          قیام پاکستان کوئی جذباتی مطالبہ نہیں تھا۔ انگریزوں کا رویہ متعصبانہ تھا اس کے علاوہ ہندوؤں کی مسلمان دشمنی بھی کوئی ڈھکی چھپی بات نہ تھی۔ مسلمانوں کے بنیادی حقوق کا استحصال، سرکاری ملازمتوں اور اعلی عہدوں سے

محرومی، اردو ہندی تنازعہ، 1857ء کی جنگ آزادی  کے بعد ہندوؤں کی اسلام دشمنی اور اس طرح کے واقعات نے یہ ثابت کر دیا تھا کہ مسلمانوں کا ہندوؤں کے ساتھ مل کر رہنا ان کے حقوق کی پامالی کا سبب ، اور تہذیب و ثقافت کے لئے خطرہ ہے۔

                          چنانچہ مسلمانوں کی لاتعداد قربانیوں کے نتیجے میں یہ مملکت خداداد 14 اگست 1947 کومعرض وجود میں آئی۔

لیکن مصائب ختم نہیں ہوئے اثاثہ جات کی تقسیم میں  تعصب برتا گیا۔مسئلہ کشمیر آج تک حل نہیں ہوا۔آزادی کا مطلب محض زمین حاصل کرنا نہیں  بلکہ ذہنی غلامی سے چھٹکارہ ہے۔

پاکستان کی ثقافت اور رسوم پر اب بھی ہندو معاشرے کا اثر نمایاں ہے۔

 ۔رشوت، فرقہ واریت،سود، عدم برداشت،بدعنوانی،اقرباءپروری، استحصال اور،منفی سوچ میں قائد کا خواب کہیں کھو گیا ہے۔ آبا و اجداداکی قربانیوں کو بھلا  کر وطن کو تنزلی کی راہ پر لا کرحب الوطنی کا نعرہ لگانا محض لفاظی ہے۔

14th August speech in urdu

  یہ ارضِ   کوہ    و   بیاباں  ،دیارِ   سنگ  وثمر میرے  وجود  کا عنواں  نہیں، تو  کچھ  بھی  نہیں زمیں   کا  پیار   نہیں کھیل  صرف لفظوں   کا میں اس کی خاک پہ قرباں نہیں تو کچھ بھی نہیں

لیکن ایسا بھی نہیں کہ یہاں کچھ بھی مثبت نہیں۔۔ملک میں جب بھی کوئی قدرتی آفت مثلا زلزلہ یا سیلاب وغیرہ آیا تو عوام نے ہمیشہ اک دوسرے کی مدد کی۔ یہ وطن قدرتی حسن سے مالا مال ہے اور،سیاحوں کی کشش کا مرکزہے۔ ایٹمی قوت ہےیہاں ۔دنیا کی سب سے بڑی ایمبولینس سروس ہے۔ یہ وطن ، ایدھی، انصار برنی اور ارفعہ کریم کی سرزمین ہے  نیکی اور بدی ہمیشہ سے ایک دوسرے کے مد مقابل ہیں۔اس لئے ہمیں مایوسی کی بجائے حکمت عملی سے ان برائیوں  سے چھٹکارا پانے کی ضرورت ہے جو ملک کے تشخص کو پامال کرنے کا سبب بن رہی ہیں۔                                            

عوام اور حکام کو اپنے اپنے فرائض کو انجام دینے کی عملی کوشش کرنی ہو گی۔ حکومت رفاح عامہ کے کاموں کا جائزہ لے اور وی آئی پی کلچر کا خاتمہ ہو جبکہ عوام ملکی قوانین پر عمل پیرا ہوں۔

1. Some Do’s and Don’ts in Pakistani Urdu Culture

Before beginning, be sure to check out our “Urdu in Three Minutes: Introducing Yourself in Urdu” video above!

When visiting an Urdu-speaking society like Pakistan , you must keep some social, cultural , and religious factors in consideration. These factors will help you win the confidence of the natives and enjoy your stay there. Let’s have a cursory look at some of the salient factors in this regard.

  • Avoid having consistent eye-contact with the opposite gender. It’s not advisable in Pakistani society, and is almost an offense in some cases.
  • Avoid shaking hands with the opposite gender.
  • Keep a reasonable physical distance from the opposite gender while talking.

In short, the list above indicates that you should always be considerate enough to use different body language for different genders, as this is a significant aspect of Pakistani Urdu culture.

Now that we’ve discussed a few important do’s and don’ts, below are a few magical sentences and phrases to equip you with answers to the most common questions. Here’s how to introduce yourself in the Urdu language, from self-introduction in Urdu for interviews to talking about where you are from in Urdu!

2. Seek Attention with Greetings

How to introduce yourself to someone in Urdu (or any language) begins with hello.

  • السلام علیکم Assalam-o-Alaikum. “Hello.”

السلام علیکم ( Assalam-o-Alaikum ) is the most widely used greeting in Pakistan to seek attention and start a discussion with someone to introduce yourself in Urdu. It literally translates to: “Peace be upon you.” Although it doesn’t translate to the English greeting “ hello ” exactly, it’s the near equivalent to it. It’s the biggest icebreaker in the Urdu language. Once you can pronounce it properly, you’ve taken your first step toward mastering the best way to introduce yourself in Urdu.

Subsequently, to conclude a conversation with the phrase خدا حافظ ( Khuda Hafiz ) is the most appropriate ending. Literally, it means, “May God protect you.” It will always leave a good taste in the mouth of the person you’ve talked with. You may use these greetings for males and females both, without any gender discrimination.

Remember! During self-introduction in Urdu language, shaking hands with the same gender is desirable; however, always avoid shaking hands with the opposite gender.

3. Inquiring After Someone’s Well-being in Urdu

culture day essay in urdu

How to inquire about someone’s general well-being or health in Urdu is another thing which may be on your mind after meeting a native Urdu speaker. Following are the key sentences you can use to ask about someone’s well-being (or talk about your own).

If inquiring about the health of a male, you’ll use:

  • آپ کیسے ہیں؟ Aap kaisay hain? “How are you?”

If inquiring about the health of a female, you’ll use:

  • آپ کیسی ہیں؟ Aap kaisi hain? “How are you?”

Here’s the most suitable answer to the question:

  • میں بالکل ٹھیک ہوں، شکریہ۔ Mein bilkul theek hun, shukriya. “I am perfectly alright. Thank you.”

تم کیسے ہو؟ ( Tum kaisay ho? ) when asking a male, and تم کیسی ہو؟ ( Tum kaisi ho? ) when asking a female, or “How are you?” is another sentence to ask about the well-being of someone while introducing yourself in Urdu. However, this sentence is an informal way of inquiring after people of your own age group or who are younger than you. If spoken to an elder or a senior , it’s taken as a sign of disrespect.

For new learners, the informal way of inquiring after someone isn’t recommended. Thus the tip of the day is to be as formal as you can at the beginning, for it will save you many embarrassing situations.

4. Identifying Yourself

The universal practice of naming is important to all human beings across the globe. Therefore, beginning to introduce yourself in Urdu by disclosing your name is the best possible strategy.

1- Talking About Your Name in Urdu

Man Holding Question Mark in Front of Face

How to say my name in Urdu may be the most pertinent question in your mind after the greeting session. Here are three widely used ways of stating your name in Urdu, along with the question you can use to ask someone else’s name.

Let’s start with the question.

  • آپ کا نام کیا ہے؟ Aap ka naam kya hai? “What is your name?”

There are three popular ways to state your name in Urdu.

1. میرا نام ۔۔۔۔۔ ہے۔ Mera naam …..hai. “My name is ……”

2. مجھے ۔۔۔۔۔ کہتے ہیں۔ Mujhe …… kehty hain. “I am known as ……”

3. میں ۔۔۔۔۔ ہوں۔ Mein ….. hun. “I am …..”

In all three cases, fill the blank space with your first name. If you’re wondering how to introduce yourself in an interview in Urdu, or about any other informal occasion of introducing yourself in Urdu, the above examples are a good way to go about this.

Man Holding Up “Hello My Name is” Sign

The first one is the most popular and recommended answer. Also, keep in mind to introduce yourself with your first name because it’s normative in Pakistan to call someone by their first name.

Now, let’s look at another advantageous sentence: the “Please introduce yourself,” meaning in Urdu. This is roughly equivalent to “Tell me about yourself,” in Urdu.

  • مہربانی فرما کر، آپ اپنا تعارف کروائیں۔ Maharbani farma kar, apna taaruf karwain. “Please, introduce yourself.”

2- Talking About Your Age in Urdu

Telling your age or asking another’s is another way of keeping the discussion going and engaging someone in your introduction in the Urdu language. An Urdu-speaking person may ask your age as follows:

  • آپ کی عمر کتنی ہے؟ Aap ki umer kitni hai? “How old are you?”

Here’s the most recommended way to reply:

1. میں ۔۔۔۔۔ سال کا ہوں۔ Mein …… ka hun “I am …… years old.” [Male]

2. میں ۔۔۔۔۔ سال کی ہوں۔ Main …… ki hun “I am …… years old.” [Female]

You can fill in the blank space with the exact digit or number in Urdu of your age. Please, keep in mind that the first sentence is for the masculine gender, and the second for the feminine gender. The Urdu words کا ( ka ) and کی ( ki ) show the masculine or feminine possession of something, respectively.

3- Nationality

culture day essay in urdu

If you find it necessary to disclose your nationality in Urdu , you can always benefit from the following sentences.

  • آپ کون سے ملک سے ہیں؟ Aap kon say mulk say hain? “Which country are you from?”

1. میں جاپان سے ہوں۔ Mein Japan say hun. “I am from Japan.”

2. .میں جاپانی ہوں Mein Japani hun. “I am Japanese.”

Someone Holding Miniature Japanese Flag

Here, once again, we have two sentences to state our nationality; however, these sentences aren’t gender case sensitive. The basic difference between them is that if you want to use the name of your country in Urdu without any change, then you can opt for the first sentence.

However, if you want to state your nationality, go with the second sentence by mentioning your nationality in the blank space.

5. Placing Yourself in Society

culture day essay in urdu

1- Occupation: Talking About Your Job in Urdu

To state your profession or occupation in Urdu helps you to open new vistas for discussion, while simultaneously accelerating the process of socialization. Below are some sentences you can use to state your profession in the Urdu language.

  • آپ کا پیشہ کیا ہے؟ Aap ka peisha kya hai? “ What is your profession ?”

1. میں پیشے سے ۔۔۔۔۔ ہوں۔ Mein peishy say ….. hun “By profession, I am a ……”

2. میں ایک ۔۔۔۔۔ ہوں۔ Mein aik ….. hun “I am a ……”

In both cases, you need to write down your exact profession, without any change (e.g. doctor, engineer, lawyer, etc.). This will clearly indicate your profession to the questioner.

2- Marital Status

Now, if you’ve become intimate enough with someone, it may be time to share your personal details with him/her. Telling about your marital status is one such personal share. Here are some phrases you can use to talk about your marital status in Urdu:

  • کیا آپ شادی شدہ ہیں؟ Kya aap shadi shuda hain? “ Are you married ?”

1. جی ہاں، میں شادی شدہ ہوں۔ Jee haan, mein shadi shuda hun “Yes, I am married.”

Man Putting Ring on Woman’s Finger

2. جی نہیں، میں شادی شدہ نہیں ہوں۔ Jee nahi, mein shadi shuda nahi hun. “No, I am not married.”

The first reply affirms that you’re married, while the second one negates.

3- Talking About Your Family in Urdu: Family Details

If you want to extend the conversation and share some more information about your family members in Urdu , this is the right moment. Ask about the other person’s children, or tell about your own, as follows.

  • آپ کے کتنے بچے ہیں؟ Aap kay kitnay bachay hain? “How many children do you have?”
  • میرے ۔۔۔۔۔ بچے ہیں۔ Mery ….. bachay hain. “I have ….. children.”

In the blank space, plug in the number of children you have.

Finding someone with a mutual hobby is a very good omen in a foreign land. Always go for a hunt by discussing hobbies in the following manner.

  • آپ کا مشغلہ کیا ہے؟ Aap ka mashghala kya hai? “What is your hobby?”
  • میرا مشغلہ ۔۔۔۔۔۔ ہے۔ Mera mashghala ۔۔۔۔۔۔۔ hai. “…… is my hobby.”

Fill in the blank space with your hobby, and you’ve hit the bull’s eye!

6. Express Gratitude at the End of the Discussion

culture day essay in urdu

Giving a proper ending to your introduction is quite significant; it determines the nature of the future relationship between you and the other speaker. Don’t make haste, and rather try to give proper closure to the discussion.

  • آپ کو یہاں آ کر کیسا لگا؟ Aap ko yahan aa kar kaisa laga? “How do you feel here?”
  • مجھے یہاں آ کر بہت خوشی ہوئی۔ Mujhe yahan aa kar bohat khushi hui. “I am very happy to be here.”

Don’t forget to respond to thanks with thanks. This is the best available conclusion in Urdu. Besides the following expression, remember to have a look at the common ways to say thank you on UrduPod101.com , as well.

!شکریہ Shukriya! “Thank you!”

Reciprocate the compliment with the same vigor and grace, as this is considered courteous.

Yes, you have concluded your conversation perfectly!

“Thank You” and Smiley Face Written in Sharpie

1- Sample Essay

Mera naam Haruki Murakami hai. Mein ek Japani likhari hun. Mein Kyoto, Japan mein paida hua. Mein ek jazz bar aur coffee house ka malik hun. Meri umer sattar saal hai. Mein nay Tokyo mein waqay weseda university say taleem hasil ki. Marathon race mera mashghala hai.

Essay on “Cultural Day in School” Complete Essay for Class 10, Class 12 and Graduation and other classes.

Cultural Day in School

 The June school holidays were here again. The school’s principal, Mrs. Desouza, declared the last day of school as ‘Cultural Day’ at school. The student’s were excited as to what exactly ‘Cultural

Day’ was going to be all about. In order to promote greater racial harmony and tolerance, the children were told to dress in any racial costume of their own choice for the day. They were also given the task of finding out customs and traditions of a race with which they were unfamiliar. The children became excited at the idea. On that day, everyone came in the brightest cultural costumes they could find. Even the teachers were dressed in colourful costumes. Instead of the usual morning assembly, the children filed into the spacious and airy school hall for a presentation of some national costumes by the teachers. The students spent their lessons getting to know the traditions and culture of their own classmates who came from different backgrounds. This lesson extended to the area of religion and beliefs as well. Each student tried to gather as much information as he could from his classmates. The collected information was then shared with the rest of the class at the end of the day. The students found ‘Cultural Day’ to be extremely interesting and useful in getting to know the customs and traditions of their fellow classmates. By the end of the day, they found that they knew their classmates better when they got to know their backgrounds better.

The Australian Professor Who Turned Breaking on Its Head

Rachael Gunn, known as B-girl Raygun, displayed some … unique moves as she competed in a field with breakers half her age. The judges and the internet were underwhelmed.

  • Share full article

A woman wearing green track pants, a green polo shirt and a cap poses with her hand up in front of a judges table.

By Dodai Stewart and Talya Minsberg

Reporting from Paris

Breaking made its debut as an Olympic sport Friday, and among the competitors was Dr. Rachael Gunn, also known as B-girl Raygun, a 36-year-old professor from Sydney, Australia, who stood out in just about every way.

By day, her research interests include “dance, gender politics, and the dynamics between theoretical and practical methodologies.” But on the world’s stage in Paris, wearing green track pants and a green polo shirt instead of the street-style outfits of her much younger fellow breakers, she competed against the 21-year-old Logan Edra of the United States, known as Logistx.

During the round robin, as Raygun and Logistx faced off, Raygun laid on her side, reached for her toes, spun around, and threw in a kangaroo hop — a nod to her homeland. She performed a move that looked something like swimming and another that could best be described as duckwalking. The high-speed back and head spins that other breakers would demonstrate were mostly absent.

The crowd cheered Raygun politely. The judges weren’t as kind. All nine voted for Logistx in both rounds of the competition; Logistx won, 18-0.

Online, Raygun’s performance quickly became a sensation, not necessarily in a flattering way.

“The more I watch the videos of Raygun, the Aussie breaker, the more I get annoyed,” one viewer posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “There’s 27.7 million Australians in the world and that’s who they send to the Olympics for this inaugural event??? C’mon now!”
