Never-ending empire

August 21, 2022

Pakistan, which recently celebrated its 75th independence anniversary, has come a very long way. Our ancestors were able to break free from colonialism in 1947. However, throughout the years, our homeland has shifted from physical colonialism to neo-colonialism, which is the political, cultural and economic control or domination by a powerful country over weaker ones (especially former colonies). In order to be truly free, we should strive for complete independence and self-sufficiency, rather than submitting to the prevailing political, economic and cultural dominance. Only through this shall we be able to accomplish the aim of our great Quaid Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
