Join us on Friday, August 15 at 6 PM in ICT 102, University of Calgary, as we commemorate Pakistan Independence Day by diving deep into the ideological foundations of Pakistan and how they connect to the Kashmiri struggle for self-determination.

This is more than a history talk, it’s a chance to understand what Pakistan stands for, why it was created, and how its original vision continues to shape key global conversations today.
