From the moment Nawaz said “ the wind of change has started blowing” outside his residence in model town the success of long march was guaranteed.Nawaz was at peak of all his political might.
On the morning of 15th Lahore was completely ceiled and the massive numbers of security persons,house arrest of Aitzaz and Nawaz,it was apparently looking that this would be a march that wont even cross GPO.This was confirmed by the crackdown of police on a small peaceful protest at GPO.But then something happened that doesn’t normally happen in Pakistan politics.Against all odds Nawaz came out gave a heartwarming speech and the success of long march was ensured.The way Nawaz and his followers broke away from police barricades in model town and kalma Chowk it was apparent that no matter how many police government deploys it wont matter,and by the time Nawaz had reached Ichra Long march was a massive success and the Halls of power in Islamabad had started shaking.
It is first time in Pakistan that Popular people leader has stood against the government not for his Power but for the people of Pakistan.The sheer size of Mob Nawaz amassed was enough for the government to restore the judges.
It must be said that this was a lawyers movement from day one and Imran Khan and Qazi and there parties played a massive role if the 2 year long movement,but one can’t help but say that the killing blow was dealt by Nawaz Sharif.
This movement also showed that peoiple of pakistan are alive and wont be bullied no longer by the oppressive regimes and governments.Success of movements like these are turning points in nation history thus lets all hope that this movement brings a positive change in Pakistan and takes us towards a better Future.

In Our school years when it comes to social studies or history of Pakistan we 
start from Muhammad bin Qasim invasion of Sindh. So history of our region and Pakistan probably start from 8thg century. In later years we are taught a bit about Indus valley civilization. But in between history of almost 3000-4000 years is missing as there was no one in this region.
We are not told about the great Mauryan dynasty or about the origins of Buddhism and its impact on our region. Nor are we told about the Invasion of our region by Alexander the great and its relations with subsequent empires like Seleucid Empire. There is no mention of Ashoka, 
Chandragupta Maurya or any of the other great rulers of the time. Why?
May be the reason is that they were all Hindus and not Muslims. It’s like we are disowning our Past where we are linked to Hindus but isn’t it a fact that almost all of our ancestors where Hindus or Buddhist then why do we run away or disown our own heritage and ancestry.
If Once looks more closely the most of Indian subcontinent heritage is embedded in Northern India which also includes Pakistan. Taxila is prime example which was a major educational and cultural centre during Mauryan 
dynasty. Also Alexander the great and the Great Persian Empire also attacked this region. But why are we not told any thing about that? Why does our history start from 1947?
On the other hand India takes full advantage of its heritage and boasts one of the most ancient cultures and heritage in the world and highlights its past. This raises tons and millions in terms of tourism for them.
History plays a major role in nations identity and there unity. A nation who disowns its history, culture and heritage has nothing to be proud of. I think it’s about time we start thinking as a nation and be proud of our Hindu/Buddhist Culture/Heritage and reclaim our identity and highlight it to the rest of the world.
