00:00Music
00:31We are now moving towards Shakarpaniya
00:36and on our opposite side we can see a huge cluster of trees
00:43which is actually the wild habitat of Shakarpaniya
00:54Shakarpaniya is a natural forest system
00:59and this forest belongs to the Margala range
01:03which means the forests on the hills of Margala
01:07You can see a road on my opposite side
01:11which is moving ahead and this road is connecting to Shakarpaniya
01:22Shakarpaniya does not only have forests and trees
01:27but also has a lot of wild animals
01:30and the hills of Margala have been carved to make Islamabad
01:36but in the middle of the city, many areas have been kept as natural gates
01:43This is the way to Shakarpaniya
01:49but we are going ahead because we have to view Shakarpaniya's Empire Road
01:56and you will see our documentary in which some museums and other areas are included
02:04First we will go to IAS
02:24I have taken the ticket for the best area of Shakarpaniya, Pakistan Monument
02:29which is for Rs. 20
02:32I have taken the ticket for Pakistan Monument
02:36and now I will go inside
02:38I would like to tell you a very surprising thing
02:41I was expecting that the ticket would be for Rs. 100 or Rs. 50
02:45but the ticket is only for Rs. 20
02:49I think this is a very good thing
02:53that the government has kept this ticket at a very low rate for the public
03:00As you can see behind me, it is written
03:05Breathe freely, Pakistan Monument is a tobacco smoke-free zone
03:11It is a tobacco smoke-free zone
03:17and in the limits of Pakistan Monument, smoking is a crime
03:25Now I will go inside the Pakistan Monument and show you some beautiful views
03:38We have come inside the Pakistan Monument
03:41and you can see here
03:43The special thing about Islamabad is that there is greenery everywhere
03:48and there is a natural habitat
03:52What is the special thing about Pakistan Monument?
03:55It is a very beautiful location
03:58It is a monument or a landmark
04:02and it is exactly like the Faisal Mosque
04:07People come from far to see the Faisal Mosque
04:10People also come here to see this monument
04:14Now I am climbing the stairs of the Pakistan Monument
04:25But before that, let me tell you something about the monument
04:28What is the Pakistan Monument?
04:30Pakistan Monument
04:32In the name of the great people of Pakistan
04:35who have sacrificed their better future
04:41I start with a blessed greeting
04:43I salute General Pervez Musharraf, President of the Islamic Community
04:47This monument is made in memory of those people
04:52who have sacrificed their lives for Pakistan
04:54Whether they were migrating in 1947
04:58or those who were sacrificed in wars
05:01or those who dedicated their lives to the development of the image of Pakistan
05:05This is the Pakistan Museum in front of the Pakistan Monument
05:09This is the Pakistan Monument Museum
05:11which is also known as Lok Fursa Yadgar Pakistan Ajaib Ghar
05:16It is closed right now
05:17I will take you here as soon as it opens
05:21Let's go inside the Pakistan Monument
05:31Let's go inside the Pakistan Monument
05:33It is sunny here
05:37Although a while ago it was very cold
05:40So I wore a coat
05:42And now I think I will have to take off the coat again
05:45Because now the sun has come out
05:48And a proper temperature has developed here
05:52And the Pakistan Monument is located at a very high place
05:56From where we can see a very big view of Islamabad
05:59So let's go for some beautiful glimpses of the Pakistan Monument
06:06I was feeling very hot
06:09I have taken off my coat
06:11The weather here is very strange
06:13When I was having breakfast in front of Margara Hills
06:17I was feeling cold there
06:19It was so cold that I took off my coat
06:21And when I came here in Shakarpaniya
06:24This is a height area
06:27But here the sun is shining so much
06:30You can see the sun shining in the sky
06:34And the temperature of the sun is so high
06:37That I am feeling hot
06:40So I am showing you
06:42I am present at the Pakistan Monument
06:44This is the Pakistan Monument
06:47This is a very beautiful place
06:49It is a very different kind of environment here
06:55And the special thing about the Pakistan Monument is
06:57From here we can see the whole of Islamabad
07:01So let's go first
07:03Let's see some glimpses of the Pakistan Monument
07:06And then see some bird-eye views of Islamabad
07:12Let's see
07:27On one of its leaves you can see
07:29An old-fashioned view
07:33We can see Quetta, Khyber, Dar-e-Khyber
07:38Old forts
07:41Then we go to the second leaf
07:43On the second leaf we can see
07:45The Badshahi Mosque, Allama Iqbal
07:48Lahore Fort
07:50And then we go to the third leaf
07:54Our father of the nation
07:56Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah
07:59And with him his wife
08:01Respected Fatima Jinnah
08:04And below you can see
08:06Some people are chanting slogans
08:08At the time of independence
08:10Behind Quaid-e-Azam's shrine
08:12Badshahi Mosque, Pakistan Monument
08:15And then in the fourth leaf
08:18We are seeing
08:20That there are some old forts
08:22Faisal Mosque
08:25And some old, ancient buildings
08:29There are glimpses
08:37And in the middle
08:39There is a landmark
08:44Which is made
08:46Which is a four-star
08:54So this is the Pakistan Monument
08:57And in front of the Pakistan Monument
08:59To light this fire
09:02A torch has been made
09:05To light this fire
09:08When there is an event
09:10Just like in the Olympics
09:13Here you can see
09:15Inside this
09:17A stove has been made
09:20Through which the fire is lit
09:24And here you can see
09:26The mountains of Islamabad
09:32So now it's a relief
09:34It was very sunny
09:36I am at the back of the monument
09:39And there is shade here
09:41And you can see me very well
09:44Because in the sun
09:46You can't see me very well
09:48And now I am showing you a view of Islamabad
09:50Here you can see
09:52Behind me
09:54There is Centaurus Mall
09:56And many more buildings
09:58And I can see the whole of Islamabad
10:00So let's see its view

10:42There are different buildings in front of them
10:46And here you can see
10:48Shah Faisal Mosque
10:52And behind the Pakistan Monument
10:55This is a
10:57Very beautiful environment
11:05On top of the Pakistan Monument
11:08There are many events
11:10There are also army events here
11:12You must have seen this monument

11:16As a background
11:18And very high level
11:20And high power delegations come here
11:23They have meetings here
11:25There are events here
11:27In the same way you can see
11:29This is a location of Shakar Pania
11:32This is a beautiful environment
11:34And if you look at it carefully
11:36You will remember some old events
11:38Of Pakistan Television
11:40Which happened on 14th August
11:4223rd March or Eid
11:44So they are often here
11:46On such locations
11:48So these are the locations
11:50You can see the beautiful garden behind me
11:53And there is no mention of greenery
11:55There is so much greenery in Islamabad
11:57That there is no comparison
12:00So this is the Pakistan Monument
12:02And I will show you the Pakistan Monument
12:13So this is the Pakistan Monument
12:16And now I am trying to
12:19Open this museum in my limited time
12:23There are three museums here
12:25One is the Natural Heritage Museum
12:28Another one is the Pakistan Monument
12:33Which you can see here
12:35It is also closed
12:37So I will wait for some time
12:39And if this museum opens
12:41I will show you some more glimpses
12:46This is a place in the Pakistan Monument
12:48Where it is written
12:50There are yet hundreds of talented craftsmen
12:52Whose hand impressions
12:54Could not be imprinted
12:56I will tell them also deeply with my heart
12:58Which means the craftsmen
13:00Who have made this
13:02Their hand impressions
13:04Are imprinted on the walls
13:06And there is a couplet
13:08The hand is the servant of Allah
13:10The hand of a believer
13:20There are yet hundreds of talented craftsmen
13:23Whose hand imprints could not be imprinted
13:25I will tell them also deeply with my heart
13:27Which means the craftsmen
13:29Who are the architects of the Pakistan Monument
13:31Arif Masood
13:33And whose hand imprints are here
13:35Let me show you their hand
13:37The craftsmen
13:39Whose hand imprints are here

13:47Very unique and very creative
13:50In a very amazing way
13:53And this hand is going ahead
14:15You can see
14:17I have shown you this hand
14:19And there are other hands
14:21There are some names written here
14:23Like this is Asad Naeem
14:25And then
14:27The name is written in Chinese
14:29This is also Chinese
14:31Which means the craftsmen
14:33Who were here
14:35They are both Pakistani and Chinese
14:37And
14:39Everyone has written their name
14:41Muhammad Afzal Khan
14:43Salamat Shah
14:45And so on
14:47There are many hands
14:49Who have made the Pakistan Monument
14:55So
14:57This is a farewell view
14:59Of the Pakistan Monument
15:01Look at these pillars
15:03In which it is written
15:05Unity, Faith, Organization
15:07And write something in English on the fourth pillar
15:09Which I am not able to understand
15:13In the fourth pillar
15:15Unity, Faith, Organization
15:17It is written in English
15:19Unity, Faith, and Discipline
15:21You can see
