Features: Located on the Indian subcontinent, Pakistan was previously part of the same country as India. In 1947, India and Pakistan were partitioned from British colonial rule and embarked on independent development paths. 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 over 800,000 square kilometers and has a population of 150 million, most of whom practice Islam. The country is rich in mineral and wildlife resources, but its economic development has experienced periods of rapid growth and stagnation. This book provides a multi-faceted introduction to Pakistan, helping readers gain a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the country.
