With August finally, here, the excitement of Pakistan Independence Day has started filling the air. People are already adorning their houses and shops with Pakistani flag buntings while offices are also decorating their interiors and buildings with large flags. Special Independence-day promotional campaigns are up and running. There is one thing that connects all the celebrations taking place on this day, though: music. Milli-nag may, or patriotic songs, play a crucial role in transcending all dividing lines and bring Pakistanis together on this special occasion.
