Its
all about Pakistan !!!
The
Islamic republic of Pakistan emerged as an independent sovereign
state on 14th August 1947, as a result of the division of former
British India. It gained independence from the British Empire through
a long struggle by the people of the this region. This struggle
was lead by Quaid-e-Azam Mr. Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Mr. Muhammad Ali
Jinnah went on to become the first Governor General of Pakistan.
Pakistan
was the first country in the world which came into existence as
a Muslim Country with the clear strategy to provide equal rights
for the followers of other religions.
It
lies between 23-35 to 37- 05 north latitude and 60-50 to 77- 50
east longitude touching the Hindukush Mountains in the north and
extending from the Pamirs to the Arabian Sea.
Pakistan covers 796,095 sq.km with a population of 132.35 million
according to population census 1998. It is divided into four provinces:

The country has an agricultural economy with a network of canals

Textiles, sugar, cement, and chemicals play an important role in

The country comprises of a vast area that was the great center of
ancient civilizations of the world. Its historical sites beginning

of its people who were, by nature, simple, virile, hospitable and
hard working. Ancient sites excavated in Taxila, Harappa, and Moenjodaro
speak volumes for Pakistan’s rich cultural background dating
back to 3,000 B.C.
