Today, we are celebrating Canada Day, we are reminded not only of a historic moment in 1867, when Canada became a nation, but of the enduring spirit, resilience, and leadership that have defined our journey ever since.
Canada is more than a place on the map. It is a vision of inclusion, opportunity, and innovation. It is a country where diversity is not just respected, but celebrated; where values like integrity, equity, and collaboration guide our actions—both in society and in business.
As leaders, as builders of industries, institutions, and ideas, we carry a special responsibility. We are not just shaping bottom lines—we are shaping futures. And the future of Canada is one that demands courage, creativity, and compassion in equal measure.
Today is a moment to reflect on how far we have come:
From a modest confederation to a global leader in technology, clean energy, healthcare, and human rights.
From building railroads to building digital infrastructure that connects us across borders and cultures.
From local enterprises to global champions who carry the Maple Leaf with pride in boardrooms and marketplaces around the world.
Yet, we must also acknowledge that our past is complex. On this day, we recognize the foundational contributions and enduring rights of Indigenous Peoples—the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis—on whose lands we live and work. Reconciliation must remain a priority, not just in words, but in meaningful action.
Let us recommit ourselves to the values that define Canadian leadership:
A belief in fairness and social responsibility.
A dedication to sustainability and ethical growth.
A vision that sees business as a force for good, not just for gain.
So, as we raise a glass to Canada today, let it be a toast not only to our rich past, but to a future that we, as leaders, will help shape—with bold ideas, compassionate hearts, and unwavering determination.
Happy Canada Day to you all.
May we continue to lead, inspire, and build a Canada a worthy and the best of the best country on the Earth.
Every year on February 5th, Kashmir Solidarity Day is observed to express unwavering support for the people of Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) in their struggle for self-determination. This day is not just a reminder of Kashmir’s plight but also resonates with the suffering of oppressed Muslims in Palestine, Syria, Myanmar, and other parts of the world. From the streets of Srinagar to the rubble of Gaza, the echoes of resistance against barbarism, occupation, and human rights violations reflect a common struggle—one against tyranny and injustice.
The Ongoing Tragedy in Kashmir
Kashmir has remained one of the most militarized regions in the world, with over 900,000 Indian troops deployed to suppress its people. The abrogation of Article 370 and 35A in 2019 stripped Kashmir of its special status, intensifying the repression. Curfews, enforced disappearances, illegal detentions, communication blackouts, and extrajudicial killings have become the norm. International human rights organizations have repeatedly documented the use of pellet guns against children, mass rapes, and demographic changes aimed at altering the region’s Muslim-majority status.
Despite the overwhelming evidence of war crimes committed in Kashmir, the world remains largely silent. The principle of self-determination, enshrined in United Nations resolutions, continues to be denied to the Kashmiri people, making Kashmir an open-air prison much like Palestine.
Parallels with the Palestinian Struggle
The situation in Gaza and the West Bank mirrors the oppression faced in Kashmir. Israeli forces have intensified airstrikes, imposed brutal blockades, and committed mass killings of civilians, including women and children. The bombardment of hospitals, schools, and refugee camps exposes the sheer inhumanity inflicted upon innocent lives.
Like Kashmir, Palestine has been fighting against illegal occupation for decades. The forced evictions of Palestinians from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah, the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the continued expansion of illegal settlements are tactics designed to erase the Palestinian identity. Similarly, in Kashmir, India is granting domicile rights to non-Kashmiris to alter its demography and erase its Islamic heritage.
Oppression beyond Kashmir and Palestine
The atrocities against Muslims are not limited to these two regions. In Myanmar, the Rohingya Muslims were victims of genocide, forcing over 700,000 people into exile in Bangladesh. In Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, endless wars have devastated Muslim communities, leading to mass displacement, starvation, and untold suffering. China’s Uighur Muslims face one of the worst human rights abuses, with millions forced into re-education camps under state-sponsored persecution.
Despite the clear violations of human rights and international laws, the global powers and Western-dominated media sources selectively highlight injustices, often ignoring the Muslim perspective.
The Role of the Muslim World
The silence of the Muslim world has contributed to the prolonged suffering of these oppressed nations. While protests and symbolic gestures are essential, concrete action, diplomatic pressure, and economic boycotts must be prioritized. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and other global institutions must rise beyond statements and work towards real solutions that ensure justice and self-determination for Kashmir, Palestine, and other oppressed Muslim regions.
Conclusion
Kashmir Solidarity Day is more than a commemoration; it is a reminder of the shared pain of Muslim communities suffering under dominance and oppression. Whether in Kashmir, Palestine, or Myanmar, the brutality continues while the world watches in silence. The resilience of the people of Kashmir and Palestine proves that no amount of tyranny can erase the will for freedom. It is the duty of the global community, especially the Muslim Ummah, to unite against injustice, apartheid, and genocide, ensuring that no nation is left to suffer alone.
Kashmir will one day be free. Palestine will one day be free. And justice will prevail.

It is very important to celebrate Earth Day every day. Earth is a beautiful planet. The Earth does not belong to us. We belong to earth. Colors are the smile of nature, and we all love natural beauty of the world. We are trying to protect it with by using our all resources. Earth is a mess nowadays we’re in. The beauty of the planet urges to love and protect it, Current state of the Earth is not satisfying. We need to plant more trees than people and acknowledgment of the busy yet celebratory nature of Earth Day, week, and month.
Please read the previous post which I have already written few years ago on the same topic.
“And to think, Earth Day has been celebrated since 1970! It’s incredible to consider the progress that has been made in raising environmental awareness and the importance of sustainability. The idea of planting more trees than the current population is really fascinating, and it speaks volumes about the impact we can have on our planet. Trees are such an integral part of our ecosystem, providing oxygen, absorbing carbon dioxide, and offering habitats for various species. It truly is a noble and ambitious goal to strive for – a world where nature thrives and overshadows the human footprint. Let’s hope that with collective efforts and continued dedication, we can one day make this aspiration a reality.
Don’t be trashy, Save the planet.
Beautiful Places on the Earth!
Some good saying about Earth and Earth Day:
“Earth Day should encourage us to reflect on what we are doing to make our planet a more sustainable and livable place.”
“The earth is always changing…readjusting to our existence. Each era is full of unique challenges.”
“We must start investing in a secure climate future right immediately.”
“It’s Earth Day. I wonder if we can plant more trees than people for a change.”
“Earth day/week/month always is so busy but it’s always still such a time of celebration and reverence for the work we do.”
Eid ul fitr is always a happy festival that all Muslims celebrate after holy month of Ramadan.
Happy Eid Mubarak to everyone!

At this happy occasion all Muslims are feeling very sad because of the war in Palestine.
People in Gaza are fighting for freedom, and their children, women and men are sacrificing their lives each and every day. All of them are in miserable condition.
My request to all world leaders to stop this war for the sake of humanity. I can write many pages on this topic, but I know everyone knows that what is going on in that region and why it is happening.

Today we are celebrating Victoria’s Day in Canada, and I am celebrating my victory day today!
Today, I am getting success in one of my very important project. Details of project cannot be disclosed at this moment. Just imagine that I am very blessed today by the grace of God. (Allah).
Wishing you all, a Happy and safe Victoria Day long weekend!
Victoria Day is officially celebrated on the Monday closest to May 24. That is the day that was declared in 1901 by the Canadian government, to honor Queen Victoria following her passing. It usually falls on the third Monday in May.
Canadians are celebrating Queen Victoria’s birthday, and continue to honor Queen Victoria because of her important role in the formation of our country. Victoria was Queen at the time that Canada became a country in 1867 and she chose Ottawa as our nation’s capital.
As it is a long weekend, I hope most of you will be able to enjoy valuable time with friends and family members. I am in Toronto, enjoying the pleasant weather, firing up the barbeque, and doing my best to calm down after a busy week to complete my important activities.
Honestly, this time is very precious for me, and I think for all those people who know the value of time.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mothers out there! This is a special day dedicated to honoring and celebrating the incredible role that mothers play in our lives. Mothers are the backbone of families, the super glue that holds all family members together, and the ones who make everything possible for her family.
As we celebrate this day today. the International Mother’s Day., it’s important to reflect on the immense impact that mothers have on our lives. From the moment we are born, our mothers are there for us, guiding us, nurturing us, and loving us unconditionally. They teach us important life lessons, support us through challenges, and help us become the best versions of ourselves.
But being a mother is not an easy job. It comes with a lot of challenges, sacrifices, and sleepless nights. Mothers juggle multiple roles, from being a caregiver to a teacher, a mentor to a friend. They are the ultimate multitaskers, managing a household, a career, and their own personal life, all while ensuring that their children are healthy, happy, and thriving.
This year, as we celebrate Mother’s Day, let’s take a moment to show our appreciation for all that mothers do. Whether it’s a simple thank you, a heartfelt message, or a thoughtful gift, every gesture counts. Let’s make this day special for the women who have given us so much.
And for those who may have lost their mothers or may not have a close relationship with them, let’s take this opportunity to honor all the mother figures in our lives. Whether it’s a grandmother, aunt, sister, friend, or mentor, these women have played an important role in shaping who we are today.
In conclusion, Mother’s Day is a day to celebrate the unconditional love, selflessness, and dedication of mothers everywhere. So, to all the mothers out there, we thank you for everything you do. Happy Mother’s Day!
I am missing my real Mother very sadly. She passed away 27 years ago, Allah will be blessed her in higher rank of Jannat. Ameen.

To work for above mentioned matters and resolve them is everyone’s responsibility.
I have already written a detailed post last year on International Women’s Day.
In 2023, I am raising my voice more confidently because I am working with a humanity based organization and now I understand much more clearly that empowering women is empowering humanity, andempowering humanity is empowering Community-country- and the World.
So, we should stand up for women, it is Women’s Day. Don’t let women’s rights get left behind.
For All Happy Women a compliment from Society !

Happy family day to you all. It is my honor to be a part of such an amazing and supportive family.
On May 28, 2012, it was announced that Family Day would be observed on the second Monday in February each year, starting it from February 11, 2013. Now the third Monday of February is observed as “Family Day” in many Canadian provinces every year.
Today, Canadian families are celebrating and enjoying this day with various kind of activities.
Some may choose to have a festive meal together while others can instead attend a religious event or simply take a picnic. Either way, this day is one of the best ways to remind us of the importance of family in our lives. Actually in Canada, Family Day celebration is in recognition of the importance of home and family. Strengthen ties and bring relatives together to celebrate this day.
It’s the time of the year when family members express their love to each other. Family time is valuable, it is the opportunity that family members creative and lovely family day messages. Improve family relationships.
Today, because of my very busy schedule, do not have enough time to write about this important day. Anyways for me and my family, we celebrate family day whenever we have time or when we are together.
No one has a perfect family. As a matter of fact some family members are still not happy with me, but if we adore our family as it is, everything will become happier than ever.
Happy Family Day! I consider myself so fortunate to have you all as my family members.

Today, September 19, 2022, marks the day when Queen Elizabeth will be buried beside her love, the Late King Phillip.
My sincere condolences on the demise of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II to the Royal family. She will be remembered for her commitment to serving others as well as the elegance, decency, and most importantly humility that she set an example for all human beings. Queen, you inspired others across the world and continue to do so. Peace in heaven Your Majesty, Our magnificent and elegant Queen, from Dr. Alia Nawaz
Queen Elizabeth II, the world’s longest and strongest serving reign died on Thursday, September 8, 2022. Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor was born on April 21, 1926, at Burton Street, London, United Kingdom to Father George VI and mother, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, whom she has named after. Queen Elizabeth and her sister, Princess Margaret were educated at their home and the education revolved around Language, Music, Literature, and History. Queen Elizabeth, who was a Princess in 1947, while on the tour to South Africa declared at the age of 21 that she will devote her whole life to Public Service. She met her to-be husband then, Prince Phillip of Greece and Denmark, at the age of 8 and she got engaged at the age of 21. Elizabeth and Phillip got married in November 1947 at Westminster Abbey. George VI died on February 6, 1952, at their Kenyan Home, leaving the throne to Queen Elizabeth II.

Queen Elizabeth and her incomparable Journey of life are adored all over the world for her tireless service to reform the Monarch. At the age of 18, she joined the Women’s Auxiliary Territory Service (ATS) and trained as a Mechanic. When Her Majesty rose to the throne, the British Empire was taking a downturn. She brought of sense of stability and 54 states as Commonwealth state members (it was only 8 state members before she was declared Queen). She saved the British Empire by bringing modernization to the monarchy. She was the first royal to send out a tweet in 2014 and record a Christmas message in a film. Apart from this, she was the first royal to address Congress in 1991. The remarkable choice taken by Her Majesty in 1968, according to Town and Country, was to permit a documentary film team to accompany her and her family about for more than two months. Her tactful reformation of the monarchy’s finances in response to criticism was one of her greatest accomplishments. For instance, according to Town and Country Magazine, she moved fast to pay taxes on royal income that had been free for years when a customary waiver was revoked in the 1990s. And according to British Heritage, she was able to cut the expense of the royal family by many million pounds a year by getting rid of pricey items like the royal boat. One of the triumphs is probably invincible. She reached 70 years on the reign earlier this year, making her the longest-serving English queen in history until she passed away on September 8th, 2022. Queen showed what women are possible so courageously by leading the world and influencing millions of lives.
When it came to Her Majesty’s appearance in public, she was quite picky and had a history of wearing matching hats and jackets in vibrant colors. Before she even ascended the throne, the queen was already expressing herself via fashion. She dressed in a gown with symbolism on November 20, 1947, when she wedded Prince Philip. According to the Royal Collection Trust, the Norman Hartnell masterwork represented a time of prosperity and resurrection for England following World War II. It had a 15-foot train with an elegant star motif inspired by Botticelli’s “Primavera” Renaissance artwork. For decades, she has worn a pair of shoes from the same brand, Anello & Davide. Her Majesty didn’t like wearing pants but on the other hand, loved wearing headscarves. She was fond of Gucci and Hermes.
My deepest condolences go to King Charles and all the members of the Royal Family at this very sad time. Queen Elizabeth II will always be remembered for the rest of our remaining days months and years of our lives. We will remind our next generations of Queen Elizabeth II’s great courage, unmatched personality, and 96 years of dedication. Her life journey and high principles have shaped a lot of people’s thoughts. I never had the privilege of meeting her in person, I have great admiration for her and her commitment to her role, which reigned with compassion, intelligence, humor, and wisdom. I simply loved her and always will. Queen, you will forever be in our memories. Your Majesty Queen Elizabeth, may you rest in peace. God Bless you. Dr. Alia Nawaz
Jashne e Azadi Mubarak to all Pakistanis (1947-2022)
Today, the Pakistani nation is celebrating Diamond Jubilee Independence Day of Pakistan!
Pakistan is all set to celebrate its 75th Yaum-e-Azadi (Independence Day) on August 14, 2022. This day remains significant as Pakistan not just received independence but was declared a sovereign state, following the end of the British Raj in 1947. This all became reality and turned into fruition as a result of the Pakistan Movement, which aimed for the creation of an independent Muslim state in the north-western regions of British India via partition. The movement was led by the All-India Muslim League under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah. This public holiday also commemorates the deeds and legacies of Pakistan’s founders.
Celebrations for Pakistan’s Independence Day start with a gun salute in the capital city Islamabad, followed by flag-raising ceremonies at presidential and parliament buildings. Many speeches on national progress are made by political leaders and televised live to the public. Festivities such as parades, firework displays, patriotic concerts, and award ceremonies are also held throughout the country.
I wrote a very emotional post four years ago. And still, I have the same feelings for Pakistan. Even though I have more wisdom and seriousness in my thoughts about Pakistan. Pakistan is going through political, financial, and instability crises. Pakistan is facing serious challenges within and outsides of its enemies. Our prayers are with Pakistan. Pakistan will overcome all crises and will be prosper and successful very soon.
Pakistan needs very sincere and devoted people to serve Pakistan!
There are a lot of points for the betterment of Pakistan that need to discuss, but not on this Happy occasion of the Diamond Jubilee of Pakistan independence Day. But we should remember some words of our Quaid, we all desperately need in current times, Quaid assured the nation of Pakistan, “Divided you fall. United you stand.” He told the people time and again that their success depends on their “Unity, Discipline and Faith.”He went on to say; “We, therefore, need a wider outlook, an outlook which transcends the boundaries of provinces, limited nationalism, and racialism. We must develop a sense of patriotism which should galvanize and weld us all into one united and strong nation.” In a public meeting on March 21st, 1948, our Father of Nation asserted; “Provincialism has been one of the curses;and so is sectionalism -Shia, Sunni, etc… You should think, live, and act in terms that your country is Pakistan, and you are a Pakistani.” We lost East Pakistan in 1971 when we failed to follow our founder’s message. If anything, the debacle should teach us not to repeat the same mistakes in other provinces of Pakistan. Unity cannot be established without first accepting and then respecting the differences. Pakistan needs to look nowhere else for guidelines as to what the role of every individual or institution should be to push Pakistan forward in the race of progress when Jinnah’s pearls of wisdom are there to show us the way. We had memorized his quotes and words of wisdom, yet never implemented them in our lives, which is why our condition is not improving. Quaid-e-Azam’s sagacity can still be our savior, only if we try. Ask yourself; Is this the Pakistan Jinnah dreamed of, or is that dream still an unfulfilled one?

Pakistan, with all its shortcomings and pitfalls in the past, remains resilient and thriving in several areas of life. Be it science, art, literature, entertainment, entrepreneurship, philanthropy, or sports, Pakistanis have won medals and trophies. Pakistan takes pride in electing the first female prime minister of the Muslim world and the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner ever. The country has produced great scientists like Dr. Abdus Salam, fighters like M M Alam, and unbeatable squash champions like Jahangir Khan. The world’s youngest Microsoft-certified professionals and professionals in many other fields also come from Pakistan.
Each and Every Pakistani around the world is Pakistan, most of them are doing their best to make their homeland proud, and some have done miracles in their areas and made the nation proud. These Pakistanis are Pakistan’s diamonds, and this diamond jubilee should be dedicated to all such diamonds! Dr. Alia Nawaz

Certainly, the prime minister has acted sincerely wishing good celebrations to all Muslims of Canada, but beyond the amazing, delightful, and fantastic message, he nurtures in the heart of Muslims a feeling of tremendous hope and assurance, that Canada is a real home to Muslims too.

Some information about this great Muslim festival, Eid al-Adha (Greater Eid).
On Saturday 09, 2022 all Canadian Muslims are celebrating Eid al-Adha throughout Canada and around. Other Muslim countries also celebrate Eid ul Adha on the announced date according to the Islamic lunar calendar. Eid al-Adha takes place on the 10th day of the 12th month. Moon sightings may cause a variation in the date for Islamic festivals, depending on the region and country.
EID AL-ADHA is the great Muslim festival and marks the sacrifice made to God. It is also known as the Feast of Sacrifice or Festival of Sacrifice as it commemorates Ibrahim (Abraham). It honors the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Ismaeel (Isaac), as an act of obedience to God’s command. Before he sacrificed his son, God intervened by sending his angel Jibra’il (Gabriel), who then put a ram in his son’s place. In commemoration of this, the celebrations symbolize Ibrahim’s devotion to Allah, and this marks the end of the Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia which thousand and thousands of Muslims all over the world embark on. Worshipers usually slaughter a sheep, a goat, or a lamb as part of the festivities – but anyone wishing to sacrifice an animal and divide into three parts: the family retains one-third of the share; another third is given to relatives, friends, and neighbors; and the remaining third is given to the poor and needy persons.
Muslims begin their celebration with morning special prayers, followed by food and exchanging gifts with family and friends. They also share their food and money with the poor so that they can celebrate too. It is time to sacrifice and generosity to friends, family, and needy people. Eid al-Adha is also a time for forgiveness and compassion.
Muslim Associations are also working for Eid festivals, including fun rides, shows, sports tournaments, and various international cuisines.
Eid Mubarak to all Muslims, my best wishes for the celebration of Eid al-Adha. My prayers at this holy festival for peace and prosperity and safety from natural disasters everywhere in the World, Ameen.
Wishing all Canadians a Safe, delightful, enjoyable Canada day celebration!

Paying tribute to my father!
Dr. Alia
Fathers are amazing people. They can turn problems into opportunities and ordinary days into memories that stay with us for a lifetime.
So today on Father’s Day, I am missing my father a lot, he is no more in this world, he passed away three years ago because of liver cancer.
I am feeling very proud to present A tribute to my father, a few lines about my father, and my real feeling for him. I don’t know why I could not write anything when my father was alive. May this post express my true love for him, after his departure from the world.
I spent most valuable quality time with my father. I was the dearest child of my father. My father was a guiding light whose love shows me the way.
He was the most courageous and resourceful man. I never questioned if he loved or cared for me because he made it so obvious.
My father had been the greatest influence in my life. his words of wisdom taught me so many things, most importantly he used to tell me that I should never stop learning. Always go for higher education, special research discoveries, new education, explore more wonders, and joys, and keep growing each and every day for a lifetime.
A Father could be defined as the 3 P’s – the protector, the provider, and the problem solver. ‘Theodore”. But My father is more than that. I really appreciate my father from bottom of my heart. Always remember his encouragement, support, great love, friendship, judgment, wisdom, positive attitude, thoughts, and best wishes for me.
My best compliment to you my father is how you raised me that I am feeling very proud to be your daughter. I am blessed and I have achieved greatness, successful life, and much more ….
My father is like none other. Thanks for everything. I have a special place in my heart for you, my dear father, I love you a lot and will continue to love you till my last breath.

History of Father’s Day:
The nation’s first Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in the state of Washington. However, it was not until 1972—58 years after President Woodrow Wilson made Mother’s Day official—that the day honoring fathers became a nationwide holiday in the United States. Father’s Day 2022 is on Sunday, June 19.
For me, every day is Father’s Day and every day is Mother’s Day.
Wishing you all, a Happy and safe Victoria Day long weekend!
Victoria Day is officially celebrated on the Monday closest to May 24. That is the day that was declared in 1901 by the Canadian government, to honor Queen Victoria following her passing. It usually falls on the third Monday in May.
Canadians are celebrating Queen Victoria’s birthday, and continue to honor Queen Victoria because of her important role in the formation of our country. Victoria was Queen at the time that Canada became a country in 1867 and she chose Ottawa as our nation’s capital.
As it is a long weekend, I hope most of you will be able to enjoy valuable time with friends and family members. I am in Toronto, enjoying the pleasant weather, firing up the barbeque, and doing my best to calm down after a busy week to complete my important activities.
Honestly, this time is very precious for me, and I think for all those people who know the value of time.
#Pakistan celebrates the 23rd of March every year with Great Spirit and enthusiasm. Every year on this day, the government of Pakistan arranges a special event to give respect to this day. The Resolution Day parade by the armed forces of Pakistan is the main celebration of the event. This day is celebrated in the memory of a lot of struggles put together by our leaders and most importantly, our mentor #QUAID E AZAM in the creation of our beloved homeland Pakistan.
Pakistan Day Celebration
Pakistan Day
23rd of March 1940 was the day of hope and determination for thousands of Muslims of the subcontinent. Based on #Muslim-majority regions in British India. He successfully won the debate by speaking to the party members in Lahore, he explained that Hindus and Muslims are two separate entities, as they are entirely different in cultural and religious aspects.
The resolution for the establishment of a separate homeland for the Muslims of British India passed in the annual session of the All India Muslim League held in Lahore on 22-24 March 1940 is a landmark #document of Pakistan’s history.
The passing of the resolution marked the transformation of the Muslim minority in British India into a nation with its distinguishing socio-cultural and political features, a sense of history, and shared aspirations for the future within a territory.
It made worldly demands keeping in view the problems of the Muslims of British India, the political experience of the #Muslim community, and the prevailing debate about the ways to protect Muslim identity, rights, and interests against the backdrop of the modern state system established by the British in India.
The Resolution addressed the Muslim question in the political and constitutional context of British India and pointed out the course of action the Muslim League intended to adopt to secure the Muslim identity, rights, and interests.
It emphasized the principles that were relevant to the modern state system and the political context of British India. It made five specific demands:
The Resolution rejected the federal system of government as envisaged in the Government of India Act, 1935 because it was “totally unsuited to and unworkable in the peculiar conditions of this country and is altogether unacceptable to Muslim India.”
The Muslims would not accept any revised constitutional plan unless it was framed with “their consent and approval.”
The adjacent territorial units should be demarcated into regions that may involve some territorial adjustments in a manner “that the areas in which the Muslims are numerically in a majority as in north-western and eastern zones of India “become “independent states in which the constituent units shall be autonomous and sovereign.”
The resolution offered “adequate, effective, and mandatory safeguards for religious minorities” in the Muslim majority units for the “protection of their religious, cultural, economic, political, and administrative and other rights and interests in consultation with them.” Similar rights will be given to the Muslims in “other parts of India.”
The Muslim League Working Committee was asked to formulate a constitutional scheme on the basis of the principles outlined in the Resolution.
The Resolution thus offered a new course of action for the Muslims of British India as compared to the Muslim League position adopted on constitutional and political issues in the past.
The change was that of strategy but not of the goal.
The Muslim League’s goal since its inception in December 1906 was to protect and advance Muslim socio-cultural identity, rights, and interests in British India’s socio-political and constitutional context.
All points and their struggle will be discussed in a separate chapter.

#International Women’s Day is a day to acknowledge and honor women around the world for the contributions we make each day to society.
Celebrating Women, whether professionally or personally, is a sense of commitment to each and every Woman in one’s life. Every year on March 8, #International Women’s Day is commemorated. In most countries, the Day has been declared a National holiday. Women from all fields of life gather together around, spanning cultural and ethnic divides, to honor their battle for peace, justice, equality, and progress.
International Women’s Day is all about valuing oneself and realizing one’s full potential. Aside from that, Women need to summon the fortitude to overcome all obstacles in all areas of life to achieve significant progress.
It is a common misconception in society that Women’s problems are unimportant.
The objectives of International Women’s Day (IWD) are:
To celebrate the struggle for #women’s rights in the #economic, #social, #political, and #cultural domains
To endorse women’s solidarity in the struggle for peace.
To assure women’s security and ability to equally avail the rights and perform their duties with complete zeal and zest, along with religious #freedom.
And to show what women have achieved and they can achieve more…..
The color purple is often associated with #IWD as it signifies ‘justice and dignity’ green and white are also the colors of IWD. Green symbolizes hope. White represents purity,

I have received three awards from the International women association and again I have been nominated to get one more in the year 2022.
#All Inspiring Women, Almost all famous female achievers, leaders are included in the below-mentioned links, and their thoughts are reflecting their mission and purpose in life.
Any woman can thrive and reveal her capabilities at an advanced level of her life in all respected professional categories unless her competitors do not use unfair and illegal means to let her down, create no obstacles in her way to success.
This year, celebrations will continue to look a little different because coronavirus and virtual events are expected to take place around the world.
So make International Women’s Day your and my day, celebrate it, and do what you can to truly make a positive difference for women.
Encourage women, start from your family members (your mother, wife, sisters, daughters, and cousins), friends, classmate, teammates, your lady boss, your coworkers, and anyone who deserve it. Give greeting cards, gifts,s or some good words as a reward to cheer them, honor them for their superior work. Show your respect, love satisfactory and pleasant feelings, admire their work, and make them happy.
To conclude, it feels nice to have a day to celebrate the achievements of women. Thus, on this international women’s day, let’s recognize the significance of women in our lives and in society and inspire them for greater future achievements. As they can contribute equally to the home, society, and nation.
#Celebration of Women’s Day worldwide. In the US, the month of March is Women’s History Month. A presidential proclamation issued every year honors the achievements of American women. International Women’s Day is a national holiday in many countries, including Russia, where flower sales double during the three or four days around 8 March. In China, many women are given a half-day off work on 8 March, as advised by the State Council. In Italy, International Women’s Day, or la Festa della Donna, is celebrated by the giving of mimosa blossoms. The origin of this tradition is unclear but it is believed to have started in Rome after World War Two.
2021 saw the inauguration of Kamala Harris as the first female, first black, and first Asian-American US vice president
The UN announced their theme for 2022 as “Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow”. Their events will recognize how women around the world are responding to climate change.
But there are also other themes around. The International Women’s Day website – which says it’s designed to “provide a platform to help forge positive change for women” – has chosen the theme #BreakTheBias and is asking people to imagine “a world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination”.
#History of start celebrating International Women’s Day.
#Clara Zetkin founded International Women’s Day (IWD) in 1910 grew out of the labor movement to become an annual event recognized by the United Nations. The seeds were planted in 1908 when 15,000 women marched through New York demanding shorter working hours, better pay, and the right to vote. A year later, the Socialist Party of America declared the first National Woman’s Day.
It was Clara Zetkin, a communist activist and #advocate for women’s rights, who suggested the creation of an international day. She put her idea to an International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen in 1910 – and the 100 women there, from 17 countries, agreed to it universally.
#International Women’s Day was first celebrated in 1911, in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland. The centenary was celebrated in 2011, so this year technically celebrating the 112th.
Things were made official in 1975 when the United Nations started celebrating the day. The first theme adopted (in 1996) was “Celebrating the Past, Planning for the Future”.
International Women’s Day has become a date to celebrate how far women have come in society, politics and in economics, while the political roots of the day mean strikes and protests are organized to raise awareness of continued inequality. Clara’s idea for International Women’s Day had no fixed date.
It wasn’t formalized until a wartime strike in 1917 when Russian women demanded “bread and peace”; four days into the strike the tsar was forced to abdicate and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote.
The strike began on 8 March and this became the date that International Women’s Day is celebrated.
The color purple is often associated with IWD as it signifies ‘justice and dignity’ Purple, green and white are the colors of IWD, according to the International Women’s Day website. “Purple signifies justice and dignity. Green symbolizes hope. White represents purity, albeit a controversial concept. The colors originated from the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) in the UK in 1908,” they say.
Once again #Happy International Women’s Day 2022 to all women. Enjoy and celebrate it respectfully!
