PAKISTAN today rejoices on the 60th year of its independence — an occasion that provides a defining moment to ponder, look back, and draw a balance sheet of what we have achieved, or missed out, over the last six decades.
Pakistan is the living example of a saga, never seen since the world came into being, and which may never be repeated. A nation that came into being because it had resolved to live a life of its own as modern, moderate, Islamic and progressive people. That’s how Pakistan was envisioned by its forefather — Allama Mohammad Iqbal, the greatest visionary of the millenium.
