MY COUNTRY


The name of my country is Pakistan. It came into being on the 14th August, 1947. The Muslims of Indo-Pakistan had to make great sacrifices to achieve Pakistan. Karachi became the capital of Pakistan after independence. Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah assumed the office of the Governor General. But he did not live long and he died on 11th September,1948. The geographical position of Pakistan has given it an important position among the countries of South East and West Asia. In the west, our neighbors are Afghanis and Iran. Pakistan's neighbor to the north is the People’s Republic of China. India lives on Pakistan's eastern border. On the southern side of Pakistan spreads the Arabian Sea. Pakistan is a country with a variety of land surface. We have also a variety of climates in Pakistan. We have the hottest as well as the coldest spots of the world. In Pakistan we have some fine resorts for excursion and sight-seeing.

Pakistan appeared on the map of the world as an Islamic state. It was founded on an ideological basis. The Muslims desired a separate state because they wanted to live in accordance with their cultural values and Islamic laws. The establishment of an Islamic society was thus the main object creating Pakistan. We are now marching towards the establishment of a truly Islamic society.
Pakistan is basically an agricultural country. A great n of population depends on agriculture: The ratio of urban population is still very low in Pakistan and most of people live in villages. Most of the population is illiterate. The present ratio of literacy is not more than 25%. The people living in villages are very simple and hard-working. Pakistan is very rapidly growing, and its population is consisted of all Muslims, Hindus, Christians, and Paris etc. The Muslims are in overwhelming majority. But people of other religions enjoy equal civil and political rights. Urdu is the national language of Pakistan. Sindhi, Pushto, Punjabi and Baluchi are the other important languages of Pakistan. The national dress of Pakistan is Shalwar-Kameez.
When Pakistan came into being, it had no resources. It was poor in all respects. But in course of time. Pakistan made a great progress. Now we have set up many industries in the country due to the efforts of the people and the government. We are rich in natural resources. We have raw material for most of our industries. Wheat grows in abundance which is the staple food of the people. Islamabad is the capital of Pakistan. Karachi, Lahore. Rawalpindi, Hyderabad, Multan, Sialkot are the other important cities of Pakistan. Karachi is the main seaport of Pakistan.
