Green Colored Military Banners - Republic Of Pakistan
The use of historical and military flags, including the national Pakistani flag, is not something that has been done only for the last decade or century. In fact and interestingly, banners and flags have been used for many hundreds if not thousands of years. Over the years, most flags have had more of a religious meaning. Militaries past and present also have used flag for signaling purposes. During the last few decades, parties with more of political motivation, commercial organizations and people started using banners and flags for purposes that include identification and signaling.
The country or republic of Pakistan has been in the news lately, including and maybe somewhat unfortunately for some less than good reasons. Pakistan flags are striking to me and flown in the proportion 2:3 officially from modern flag poles. Like other international and military flags of states and countries, this banner is less than one century old.
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.
The aforementioned All-India Muslim League was originally founded back in 1906. Considered a political party to secure and maintain the Muslim interest in the then called "British India," this league played a substantial part or role during the forties in then organized independence movement or party. In fact, in the republic of Pakistan, and at that time, this movement functioned as the very first official government of the country. Some years later it fell apart however as a result of a coup executed by the army.
Before the years of the World War Two, the Muslim and Hindu people lived fairly well together under rule of the co-called "British Raj." The green color of the current flag represents the majority of the Muslim folks living in the republic's territory. The white vertical stripe however represents the minorities of the country. Generally speaking, this banner is said to symbolize the country's loyalty to Islam and its respective world.
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.
