Abstract
In the modern times national flag is one of the basic requirements for a nation state. It
symbolizes the state and is consider as a matter of honor, respect and pride for the entire
nation. Pakistan’s national flag, comprised of green and white with a crescent and star, was
designed by AmiruddinKidwai, approved by the Muslim League leadership and finally
adopted by the Constituent Assembly of the country. Jinnah showed personal interest in
making of the flag. He wanted to make it reflect the feelings of the people of Pakistan and
thus annoyed Mountbatten by not accepting his design. There are some controversies
regarding the flag including the debate that whether the crescent is in right direction or not,
but ever since the birth of Pakistan, there is a national consensus about this flag and not even
a slight modification has been made in it.
