The Lahore Resolution (Qarardad-e-Lahore قرارداد لاھور), commonly known as the Pakistan Resolution (قرارداد پاکستان Qarardad-e-Pakistan),[1] was a formal political statement adopted by the Muslim League at the occasion of its three-day general session on 22–24 March 1940 that called for greater Muslim autonomy in British India. This has been largely interpreted as a demand for a separate Muslim state, Pakistan.[2] The resolution was presented by A. K. Fazlul Huq.
Although the name "Pakistan" had been proposed by Choudhary Rahmat Ali in his Pakistan Declaration[3] in 1933, Muhammad Ali Jinnah and other leaders had kept firm their belief in Hindu-Muslim unity.[4] However, the volatile political climate and religious hostilities gave the idea stronger backing.

Lahore, Pakistan. Long far away from here in the West countries, I've found out this delicate young girl face, made-up for a party.
Lahore always has been a festive city. The people of Lahore are fond of celebrations. It was Eid Milad-ul-Nabi (S.A.W/P.B.U.H) i.e. birthday of holy prophet Hazrat Muhmmad (S.A.W/P.B.U.H). Lahore is decorated at large on this occasion specially walled city (inner old Lahore.) This scene is of street decorated and illuminated.
The Lahore Fort, locally referred to as Shahi Qila (Urdu: شاهی قلعہ) is citadel of the city of Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. It is located in the northwestern corner of the Walled City of Lahore. The trapezoidal composition is spread over 20 hectares.
Origins of the fort go as far back as antiquity, however, the existing base structure was built during the reign of Mughal emperor Akbar (1556–1605), who was a Secular Emperor of Hindustan (India) and was regularly upgraded by subsequent rulers, having thirteen gates in all.[1] However, it is said to be built first in 800B.C. Thus the fort manifests the rich traditions of Mughal architecture.[2] Some of the famous sites inside the fort include: Sheesh Mahal, Alamgiri Gate, Naulakha pavilion, and Moti Masjid. In 1981, the fort was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the Shalimar Gardens (Lahore).
I went to Kasur today which is a city 1 hour away from Lahore. I mainly went to photograph. I found these two kids there whose faces said a lot to me. The older one's eyes convey something, something like "here I am, I need something from you" and the little one made me feel like he is thinking about what his future holds for him. The way he was standing also made me stop in my heels and immediately take a picture. This is the picture before I told them to smile for me.

Lahore Fashion Week ( twenty 10 )
Lahore, April 4, 2017 – The Embassy of the United States of America is showcasing its long-standing support for Pakistan’s agriculture sector with a pavilion at the Dawn Food and Agri Expo. The U.S. Pavilion highlights projects assisting Pakistani farmers to modernize the agriculture sector, strengthen value chains and improve market access while ensuring long term sustainability of agricultural production. The two-day exhibition in Lahore, inaugurated today at the Expo Center in Johar Town, is open to the public.
“The United States, in partnership with the Pakistan government and the private sector, has provided approximately $777 million since 2009 to fund projects that support economic growth and agriculture, including the Government of Pakistan’s efforts to reform and modernize the agricultural sector,” stated Mission Director John Groarke at the Agri Expo inaugural session. Also at the session, the Punjab Agriculture Minister, Muhammad Naeem Akhtar thanked the U.S. government for its continued support of Pakistan’s agriculture sector.
The Expo’s U.S. Pavilion features a number of agricultural assistance programs supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) that help build Pakistan’s export capacity, especially in the areas of small and medium sized agribusinesses and agricultural producers.
Supporting economic growth and agricultural development is a top U.S. priority in Pakistan. USAID agriculture projects help increase employment and incomes for producers, processors, and vendors of agricultural products. To boost Pakistan’s agricultural productivity, USAID has introduced advanced farming technologies, built additional irrigation infrastructure, and introduced improved water management practices. USAID also assists agribusinesses in Pakistan to increase their access to financing and more lucrative export markets. These programs focus on the private sector’s agriculture investments in Pakistan. Over the past six years, USAID projects have increased exports by $76 million, increased sales by $170 million, and leveraged over $72 million in private sector investments.
USDA has partnered with the Government of Pakistan, U.S. land grant universities, and international partners to increase agricultural productivity in Pakistan, build institutional capacity to regulate animal and plant health, and food safety issues more effectively, and strengthen institutional research capabilities and U.S.-Pakistani scientific collaboration.
USDA programs also promote the adoption of new agricultural practices and technologies, and foster collaboration in dairy production, animal disease control, aquaculture, cotton diseases, crop estimation forecasting, watershed management and high efficiency irrigation technologies, improvement of soil fertility, and wheat diseases.
Pakistan’s agriculture sector has enormous potential, and the Dawn Food and Agri Expo provides an opportunity for Expo visitors to see and hear about the United States Government’s support to Pakistan’s agriculture sector.
Lahore Gate was the main entrance of the Red Fort and it's called so because it is built in the direction of Lahore in Pakistan.
The strategic location of Lahore city between the Mughal territories and the strongholds of Kabul, Multan, and Kashmir required the dismantling of the old mud-fort and fortification with solid brick masonry.[7] The structure is dominated by Persian influence that deepened with the successive refurbishments by subsequent emperors.[8] The fort is clearly divided into two sections: first the administrative section, which is well connected with main entrances, and comprises larger garden areas and Diwan-e-Aam for royal audiences. The second - a private and concealed residential section - is divided into courts in the northern part, accessible through 'elephant gate'. It also contains Shish Mahal (Hall of Mirrors of Mirror Palace), and spacious bedrooms and smaller gardens.[9] On the outside, the walls are decorated with blue Persian kashi tiles. The original entrance faces the Maryam Zamani Mosque, whereas the larger Alamgiri Gate opens to the Hazuri Bagh through to the majestic Badshahi Mosque
