KARACHI: The 74th Independence day is just upon us, and one thing that has remained constant throughout these years is our expression of love towards Pakistan through our music. Many of us have grown up singing Pakistani national songs in schools and felt a sense of unity among us. While Pakistan may have a long way to go, these songs remind us that we are home, a place that we would accept in spite of its flaws, and while there may be a lot of fixing to do, we will do it because of our shared admiration for the sacrifices made to form this homeland. To commemorate the same love towards Pakistan, Spotify Pakistan has launched a new playlist of national songs, Pak Sar Zameen.
