About Pakistani Independence Day 2025
This Doodle celebrates Pakistan Independence Day. On this day in 1947, Pakistan gained its independence and became a sovereign nation after almost 200 years of foreign rule.
Following the Indian Independence Act in 1947, Muslim Indians wanted their own independent nation-state and started the Pakistan Movement. The movement was spearheaded by the All-India Muslim League, led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Celebrations for Pakistan’s Independence Day start with a 31-gun salute in the capital city, Islamabad, followed by flag-raising ceremonies at the presidential and parliament buildings. Many speeches on national progress are made by political leaders and televised live to the public. Festivities such as parades, firework displays, patriotic concerts, and award ceremonies are also held throughout the country.
