FLAG OF PAKISTAN REPRESENT OUR COLOUR:

                        Pakistan's Flag was officially adopted on 14 August 1947 the date of independence of Pakistan from the British when India was divided into two countries.

The National Flag of Pakistan is dark green in colour with a white vertical bar, a white crescent in the centre and a five – pointed star. The significance of the colour and symbols used in Pakistan

Flag is as follows:

. The white and dark green field represents peace and prosperity.

. The crescent on the Flag represents progress.

. The five-rayed star represents light and knowledge.       

The 14^Th August just passed away. Pakistan’s flags are everywhere. But have you ever thought what the colours and the symbols in our flag mean. Today I will make you think on that. In this blog I will not highlight its history or something else but will only focus on its meaning .We might have studied the meanings in our school days but most of us have forgotten that. So it’s time to recall all of those.

Let’s start from the color of our flag. The green part of our flag represents the majority Muslim population and the white part of the flag represents the non-Muslim minority population. This representation of the Non-Muslims in the flag shows that, although Pakistan was created on the name of Islam but still non-Muslims living in this country will be given their full rights. This thing was elaborated in one of the speeches of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Quaid-e-Azam was a great champion of human rights, addressing the first constitution Assembly of Pakistan Quaid-e-Azam said. “you are free; you are free to go to our temples, you are free to go your mosques or to any other places of worship in the state of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion, cast or creed. We are starting with this fundamental principal that we all are citizens, and equal citizens of one state.”

This thought of Quaid-e-Azam is incorporated in the Pakistan flag. And later this thought was made as a part of the constitution according to UN fundamental Human rights.

But point to be cleared, although the minorities given a representation in the flag but still majority of the flag represents the Muslim population. Meaning though, that all the rules in the country will be made according to the spirit of Islam and Non-Muslims though have all freedom. But there any activity against Islam will not be tolerated.

   The crescent and the star in the middle of the flag are the symbols of Islamic religion. Crescent represents the progress, meaning that Pakistan will progress and at one day become will become a develop nation. Star represents light and knowledge. According to some it means five pillars of Islam i.e. Tau heed, Sal at, Fasting, Zak at and Hajj.

  Pakistani's are proud of the flag and display it everywhere. On 14th august The independence day you can nearly see a flag on every single Pakistani house, car or motorcycle. All public places are decorated with numerous flags. A common name of Pakistani flag is "Subz hilal percham" which is urdu for the green flag with the cresent.

        

HOW COLORS AFFECT US???

Colors vibrate different types of energy around us.

IMPORTANCE OF COLORS:

Colors are an important communication tool that considered linked to certain cultures, religions and social influences.

Culture:

Religion:

Color affects our moods and thoughts in subconscious ways that we may not be aware of. To understand it’s affects, I have broken it down into four separate influences on how each individual responds to color:

Cultural Influences:

Each culture perceives colors differently. For example, in China, red is an auspicious color and is used for happy occasions. In Japan, the red circle on their national flag symbolizes the sun. Yes, the sun is red, not yellow as in the West, as it’s the land of the rising sun. Most Western cultures associate red with love and passion. Your own culture influences how you perceive color, so we cannot say that red affects everyone in the same way.

Many times we subconsciously associate countries with certain colors. For example, if someone says, “Finland”, what colors comes to mind?  Immediately, I imagine bright, neon colors.  When I think of Thailand, I see gold and the bright, beautiful colors of Thai silk. Japan brings to mind the muted, muddy, natural colors that are integrated in its culture. We are all influenced by our perceptions as well as our own culture.

      

 

Personal Life Experiences:

Let’s say you have very loving memories of a happy childhood, growing up in a baby blue colored house in the countryside. You will forever associate that specific baby blue to happy thoughts. That is your story. On the other hand, if at one stage in your life you had a bad experience in a space with olive green walls, you may associate that color as having “bad” feelings, even though you don’t know why. It can be fixed in your subconscious.  So, how we see color is not universal, we each have our own ideas and influences on color that is based on our individual experiences.

Red as HAPPY:

Red as SAD:

Red as ANGRY:

Red as LAUGHING:

Red as MISCHEVIOUS:

Red as WINKY:

Red as COOL:

Red as DANGER:

Red as LOVE:

Geographical Influences:

Just as we associate countries with certain colors, we also associate geographical areas with color. In hot and humid areas, bright, bold and cheerful colors balance the weather. On the other hand, dark, earthy tones that look rich and warm in a colder climate look like they just don’t belong in the tropics.

Psychological Influences:

We all hear and learn about the psychological influences of color. There are basic universal generalizations that we can all relate to:
•    Black is Depression
•    Rich red is Passion
•    Bright yellow is Cheerful
•    Sky blue is Calming
•    Soft green is  Relaxing
But we must remember there are just generalizations.  For we all know there isn’t just one blue. There are thousands of blues with different intensities and shades, each with a slightly different psychological influence.

LIFE IS FULL OF COLORS NOTICE IT .......
