Theme of the song is that Pakistan belongs to all of us, the citizens of Pakistan, regardless of our faith, color, creed or sect. The video starts with excerpts read from Pakistan Resolution while showing the landmark place of Minar-e-Pakistan and script of Pakistan Resolution and national anthem.
The resolution reads: “There are two major nations that are Hindus and Muslims. We want the division of India into Hindustan and Pakistan. Because that is the only pragmatic solution.”
Division of the subcontinent is a landmark historical event followed by exodus of Muslims from Hindu majority areas to the Muslim country after British rulers left this land.
Catchphrases of the ISPR song are: “We are resilient Pakistani Nation”, “No power can undo ‘Our Pakistan’” and “United We Rise”.
The song shows people from all walks of life including labourers, sportsmen, security forces, farmers, children, old, women and engineers who are expressing their love for their country.
