Pakistan was one of the two original successor states to British India, which was partitioned along religious lines in 1947. For almost 25 years following independence, it consisted of two separate regions, East and West Pakistan, but now it is made up only of the western sector. Both India and Pakistan have laid claim to the Kashmir region; this territorial dispute led to war in 1949, 1965, 1971, 1999, and remains unresolved today. Military rule was instituted in Oct. 1999; a nominal democracy was declared in June 2001 by the ruling military leader, Pervez Musharraf.
The Dominion of Pakistan was the Muslim-majority region, adopting its flag based on the Muslim League flag upon independence. The Muslim League's flag was based on flags from early in India's history. Pakistan's leaders had the flag designed and modeled after the political party's flag to represent the newly independent nation and its connection to the Muslim League.
The flag of Pakistan is known by the name Parcham-e-Sit?ra-o-Hil?l, meaning the flag of the crescent and star. The flag is dark green, with a vertical white bar taking up a quarter of the flag on the hoist side. A white crescent moon and five-pointed star are centered on the green field.
The flag of Pakistan closely resembles the flag of the political party, the All-Indian Muslim League, which consists of the same green field, the moon, and star as the flag of Pakistan, without the white stripe.
The flag bears the country’s religious faith to Islam, to the Islamic community and the rights of the religious minorities as well. The flag’s design being grounded on the flag of the Muslim League also bears some resemblance and insight from the banner of the Sultanate of Delhi and emblem used by the Mughal Empire.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Pakistan flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Pakistan flag for the future.
