Q3. Long questions (Attempt any 2 of 3 · 2 × 4 = 8)
Patriotism gives people the strength and courage to safeguard the interests of the country and nation. For a patriot, the sovereignty, integrity, and honour of the country are of supreme values on which no compromise can be made. Patriots render great sacrifice for the preservation and protection of these values.
Patriotism, therefore, is not just a feeling rather it is a live spirit that continuously inspires and guides a nation. In the words of S.W Scott, a man devoid of patriotic spirit, is like the one who: "Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land!"
The spirit of patriotism makes us stay alert in case of foreign invasion. In the history of Pakistan, there are many instances when people laid down their lives for the defence of the country. In the wars of 1965, 1971, and the Kargil War 1999, many brave soldiers laid their lives in an attempt to protect the homeland.
