Abstract

Cultural day was organized in Bahria University Medical
& Dental College (BUMDC) on 8th February, 2016.
Students guided by the faculty, participated in organizing
the cultural day celebration to highlight the importance
of traditions related to different ethnicities of Pakistan
with emphasis on unity.Cultural day events started in
the afternoon around 2 pm in the grand campus
auditorium. Honorable Director General BUMDC Vice
Admiral (Retd) Tahseen ullah Khan HI (M) and Principal
dental Section Prof. Zubair Ahmed Abbasi were the
chief guests.The auditorium too was decorated according
to the theme and presented an atruistic view. All the
students and faculty were dressed in colorful cultural
attires and were a joy to look at. Quite appropriately the
event started with an instrumental note of National
anthem by a group of students which was electrifying
and received a standing ovation from the audience.
The anthem was followed by a marvelous medley song
sung by five students dressed in cultural apparel
representing the national theme of four provinces of
Pakistan. The cultural songs were heartwarming and
audiences cheered with all their heart. The epitome of
this performance was when the performers sang the
patriotic song “SOHNI DHARTI ALLAH RAKHAY”
together. It was definitely a fitting end to the medley as
it embodied the unity of our nation proud of their
individual culture but together for each other in the
name of this Sohni Dharti Pakistan.
