History Of Pakistan Flag

By Janet Long


The official flag of Pakistan was adopted in 1947. The flag of Pakistan is green with a vertical white stripe on the hoist side, and a white crescent moon, and a star. The region that is now Pakistan became part of the Dominion of Pakistan after the partition of India divided the land into India and Pakistan.

The Pakistan flag was adopted on August 14, 1947, when the country was formed after the British-ruled Indian sub-continent was divided into two independent states, Pakistan, and India. The Pakistan flag is based on one created in 1906; which represented the All-Indian Muslim League - a political organization established to represent the political rights of Muslims in India. That flag had an entirely green base with a white crescent and star in the center.

The flag remained the same when Pakistan produced its first constitution in 1956 and officially became the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. In December 1971, the province of East Pakistan left and became Bangladesh. A common name for the Pakistani flag is 'subz hilali parcham' which is Urdu for 'green flag with the crescent'.

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 white stripe represents the non-Muslim, minority, religious groups in Pakistan. According to modern meaning, the green represents prosperity; white symbolizes peace; the white crescent represents progress and the white star represents light and knowledge.

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.
