Celebrate Independence Day with the new Patriotic song, Marka-e-Haq, now available to watch
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) of Pakistan has released a new patriotic song titled "Jaan Se Pyara Pakistan" to commemorate the nation's 78th Independence Day on August 14 and the military campaign known as Ma’araka-e-Haq. This campaign, translated as the "Battle of Truth" or "Marka-e-Haq", is a significant ongoing operation by the Pakistan military.
The song, which powerfully weaves in the determination, courage, and preparedness of the Pakistan Army, beautifully highlights the love for the homeland and the spirit of national unity. It serves as a source of inspiration and a powerful morale booster, according to the ISPR.
The release of the song is timed with the celebration of Independence Day and the ongoing Ma’araka-e-Haq campaign. By tying patriotic celebration to the military’s ongoing campaign messaging, the ISPR aims to strengthen public support and morale amid a period of heightened tensions with India.
The military confrontation between Pakistan and India, which ended on May 10 with a ceasefire agreement brokered by the US, was triggered by an attack on tourists in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) in May. In response, Pakistan's armed forces launched a large-scale retaliatory military action named "Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos".
The ceasefire agreement was the result of talks held by Washington with both sides. However, India has differed with US President Donald Trump's claims that the ceasefire resulted from his intervention and threats to sever trade talks.
The song conveys a beautiful message of national cohesion, peace, and the unity of all religious communities. It is being widely shared on social and streaming platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
It is important to note that while news reports and social posts describe the song’s content and intent, they do not provide measured data on public reception, effectiveness at changing attitudes, or direct operational effects on the India–Pakistan military situation. Furthermore, the sources cited do not give a full account of the military operations, diplomatic background, or cross-border incidents that underlie the campaign named Ma’araka-e-Haq. For a comprehensive understanding, additional reporting and official statements would be needed.
This new patriotic song is a testament to the resilience, progress, and pride of Pakistan, as stated by Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal, who announced that this year's Independence Day would be celebrated under the banner of Marka-e-Haq. The song serves as a powerful tool of soft-power signalling, aimed at strengthening domestic support and morale amid the security confrontation with India, as presented by Pakistan’s military communications.
