Minar-e-Pakistan is a national monument situated in Lahore, Pakistan. Constructed between 1960 and 1968, the tower stands on the site where the All-India Muslim League adopted the Lahore Resolution on 23 March 1940. This resolution marked the first official demand for a separate and independent homeland for Muslims in British India, as proposed by the two-nation theory. The Lahore Resolution ultimately contributed to the creation of an independent Pakistan in 1947.

The star and crescent is an iconographic symbol used in various historical contexts but most well known today as a symbol of the former Ottoman Empire and, by popular extension, the Islamic world. It appears on the national flag and state emblem of Pakistan.

The gharial (Gavialis gangeticus), also known as the fish-eating crocodile, is one of the longest living crocodilians. Females range from 2.6 to 4.5 m (8 ft 6 in to 14 ft 9 in), and males from 3 to 6 m (9 ft 10 in to 19 ft 8 in). Adult males have a distinctive boss on their snout resembling a "ghara," an earthenware pot, giving the species its name. Adapted for catching fish, the gharial has a long, narrow snout and 110 sharp, interlocking teeth.

Native to rivers in northern India, the gharial is highly aquatic, leaving the water only for basking and nesting. Fossil remains suggest it evolved in the northern Indian subcontinent. Its population has drastically declined since the 1930s, now occupying only 2% of its historical range. Conservation efforts in India and Nepal have focused on reintroducing captive-bred gharials since the 1980s. The species is critically endangered due to habitat loss, overfishing, and detrimental fishing methods.

Depictions of the gharial date back 4,000 years, found in the Indus Valley. In Hindu mythology, it is associated with the river deity Ganga, and locals have attributed mystical and healing properties to the gharial, using its body parts in traditional medicine.
