The National Pakistani Flag
The republic of Pakistan is a fairly modern country that consists of 4 different provinces and territories. More than one hundred and seventy million people inhabit this land, making it the 6ht most populous country in the world. Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in comparison to all other countries in the world, Pakistan comes in second. The latter is reflected in the national Pakistani flag, which flies proudly from Pakistani flagpoles throughout the republic. Ever since this nation was granted independence it has experienced spells of unrest.
One country that has had quite a bit of (maybe more negative) media attention is Pakistan. Located near India and Afghanistan, this republic is considered a relatively young state, as it was granted independence only some 50 years ago. Like other countries, this nation flies Pakistan flags from smaller, small, big and bigger flag poles throughout its land.
The Pakistani flag includes a white five-pointed star and a white crescent on a green field. The star is located towards the right of the crescent and is smaller in size. That is not all; the hoist part of this banner features a white vertical stripe, smaller in size than the green field. Used as the national flag for ceremonies and such of all kinds, this flag flies proudly from Pakistani flag poles.
Some have asked me the question white the color green is more prominently used than white. Good question I reply each time that question is asked. White is said to symbolize the minorities in the republic. Green represents prosperity. The variant flag also features a red color field with the national flag in the canton.
Pakistan's army was organized following the declaration of the its independence in 47' of the last century. Ever since, the republic's army has been involved in four wars, including with neighboring country or state India. It was also involved in the Gulf War of the early nineties. The country's military really first experienced conflict in the so-called "First Kashmir War." In past, people of Pakistan have volunteered in struggles with Israel. Every so often, Pakistani armed forces join in peace-keeping campaigns in different parts of the world.
The use of the Pakistan flags officially regulated by the Pakistani flag code. This set of rules of guidelines was introduced some eight years ago by then ruling Prime Khan Jamali. I have yet to find these rules online. The national flag of Pakistan is hoisted on Pakistani flagpoles in areas that include official residences and vehicles of a number of public officers and other officials.
Many are interested in hoisting (national) flags from object, including flag poles. National protocol applies to the use of the Pakistani flag. For example, no other banner is allowed to fly higher than the Pakistan flag, if flown in this respective country. An exception exists however, which is that the flag of the U.N is allowed to fly higher in and around U.N. buildings.
