Features: Located on the Indian subcontinent, Pakistan was part of the same country as India before its independence. In 1947, India and Pakistan were partitioned from British colonial rule and embarked on the path of independent development. In 1971, due to acute internal conflicts on one hand and interference from one or two major powers on the other, Pakistan and Bangladesh separated. Pakistan covers an area of over 800,000 square kilometers and has a population of 150 million, most of whom practice Islam. Pakistan is rich in mineral and biological resources, but its economic development has been uneven. This book provides a multi-faceted introduction to Pakistan, helping readers gain a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the country.
