Question

Write an essay on Youm-e-takbeer. (28 may)

Answer 1

Youm-e-Takbir is celebrated as a national day in Pakistan on May 28 in commemoration of Chagai-I and Chagai-II series of nuclear tests. The nuclear tests made Pakistan the seventh nation to possess nuclear weapons, and the first in the Muslim world.

The day was originally commemorated by offering rewards such as the Chagai Medal to various persons and industries in the domains of research and industry. The Sharif government also established the Chagai I Medal, which was first awarded to Pakistani scientists who observed the testing in 1998.
