Himalayas. Pakistan also has the world’s deepest sea port in Gwadar. Pakistan’s
Edhi Foundation is the world’s largest ambulance service provider.

Sialkot (a city in Pakistan) produces half of the world’s balls, which resulted in

The world’s fourth-largest irrigation system is also in Pakistan. Out of 100%

population, 96.2 percent of Muslims in Pakistan, 1.6% Hindus, Christians 1.59%,
etc. Cholistan, Thar, and Thal are some of the famous desserts in Pakistan.

History
Before writing essay on Pakistan, lets disucss its history first. Muslims of the
subcontinent were not given the proper rights and were harassed for living
according to the Islamic way. Pakistan was a dream for Allama Muhammad Iqbal
that came true after many sacrifices and struggles of many Muslims.

The major effort and struggle was of Quid e Azam M.A. Jinnah. This effort to get
a separate country started when Muslims started facing persecution. The idea of
two nation theory was presented that Muslims and Hindus are different nations
that can’t live together peacefully.

Quaid e Azam succeeded on 14 Aug 1947 when a new country known as

Pakistan was formed. Initially, Bangladesh was a part of Pakistan, but due to the
1971 civil war and political problems, East Pakistan (Bangladesh) proclaimed its
independence.

When Pakistan got its independence, it faced several problems, such as unfair
boundary distribution, economic problems, the Kashmir dispute, electricity
problems, division of financial assets, etc. Karachi was chosen as the capital of
Pakistan Quaid e Azam was the first governor-general, and Liaquat Ali Khan was
the prime minister.

Climate
Pakistan is one of the lucky countries. It has all four seasons due to the location.
Winter is from December to February, spring is from March to May, Summer is
from June to September, and retiring monsoon or autumn is from October to
November. This season and their time can differ according to the location, as
Pakistan has all plains, plateaus, mountains, or hilly areas.

Pakistan has several rivers; the longest is Indus; other rivers are Jhelum,
Chenab, Ravi, Sutlej, and Kabul. The amazing thing is that the coastal areas are
normally dry and hot, whereas the lowland plains are cooler than coastal areas,
and the uplands or Himalayas are much cooler than the plain; this means at the
same time, all seasons can be seen in Pakistan.

Region & Demography

Pakistan has a total area of 796,095 square kilometers. Pakistan has a total
population of 207.68 million. The capital of Pakistan is Islamabad. Pakistan has 4
provinces, i.e., Punjab, Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Sindh. Punjab
was given to this province because of Punj (five) and Aab (Water), i.e., land of
river. The population of Punjab is 110 million, Balochistan is 12.34 million, Sindh
is 47.89 million, and KPK is 35.53 million.

The area of Punjab is a total of 50,362 square kilometers. The area of

Balochistan is 347,190 square kilometers. The area of Sindh is 140,914 square
kilometers. The area of KPK is 101,741 square kilometers. There are 170
districts in Pakistan. These districts are further divided into tehsil and union
councils.

These districts include all the districts in provinces, Azad Kashmir, the capital
territory, and Gilgit Baltistan. Pakistan is considered a young nation as the
average age is 23.4, and the 104 million population is the age bracket of 25 to
30.

Language & Culture

The national language of Pakistan is Urdu. More than 60 languages are spoken
in different areas of Pakistan. The common language in Punjab is Punjabi,
whereas in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the language spoken is Pashto, and in Sindh
and Balochistan, Sindhi and Balochi, respectively. Hindko, Saraiki, Kashmiri,
Gujarati, and other languages are spoken in Pakistan.

The culture of Pakistan is based on Islam, and the main reason for having
Pakistan as a separate country is to establish the culture of Islam freely. Several
festivals and events are important in Pakistan, such as Eid ul Fitr, Eid ul Adha,
Ramadan, etc.

Other minorities can also easily celebrate their festivals, such as Christmas,
Easter, Holi, Diwali, etc. Let’s talk about different people in provinces.
Punjab: People in Punjab are mostly warm-hearted and loving. Several tribes,
clans, or castes have different cultures and traditions. Their culture and dresses
are very bright and mix of colors.

Balochistan: This province is considered to be barren lands and deserts and

mountains, but this culture has a culture that is full of traditions, art, and craft, as
well as embroidery females mostly do these things. These people are known for
their festivals and tribes.

Sindh: These people mostly have agricultural lifestyles. These people practice
farming and fishing. These people are dominated by Sufis music.

KPK: The people of KPK are mostly Pathans; they are the most hardworking
people and always like to know more about their race; they are obsessed with
the race.

Economy
Economy is one of the important thing to discuss in this essay on Pakistan.
The major sources of livelihood are agriculture, forestry as well as fishing.
Pakistan is ranked in 43 of the major economies. Inflation will be approximately
19.87% in 2022. Around one-half of the laborers are doing these activities.

Several crops are the basis of a good economy, such as cotton, tobacco, pulses,
chickpeas, sugarcane, wheat, rice, etc. Pakistan doesn’t have many minerals
and energy resources. One-eighth of the labor is engaged in the manufacturing
of products. The main imports of the nation are petroleum products, machinery,
chemicals, fertilizers, etc., whereas the major exports are cotton, ready-made
garments, dried fish, rice, leather goods, etc.

Education
Pakistan is one of the countries with great potential for providing education.
Education is one of the most important factors in Pakistan. Although education is
not up to the mark, many improvements are still being made, and many schools,
colleges, and universities are being established.

HEC (Higher Education Commission) is the biggest institute in Pakistan

responsible for overseeing, regulating, and accrediting the higher education
efforts in Pakistan. The level of education depends on the financial resources and
the commitment level of the government; in Pakistan, the resources are limited,
and that’s why there are fewer teachers and education-providing facilities. There
are a total of 218 universities in Pakistan.

National Symbols
The national symbols of Pakistan are

● Markhor (National Animal)

● Chukar (National Bird)
● Deodar (National Tree)
● Jasmine (National Flower)
● Allama Muhammad Iqbal (National Poet)

Conclusion
To conclude essay on Pakistan I would say that Pakistan has faced several
challenges since its independence. But on the other hand, Pakistan is rich in
culture and has a young population. This population can help Pakistan to
become more economically stable and help Pakistan to prosper. This country
had been faced several challenges, such as poverty, terrorism, and political
instability, and done major improvements in many scenarios.
Pakistan’s strength is its location and size; this country also benefits from foreign
aid and receives donations from IMF, World Bank, and the USA, which means
that Pakistan has some good international relations. The major weakness of
Pakistan is that people lack knowledge in different fields to become a more
modernized society. Pakistan also lacks an efficient education system.

There is improper governance, a lack of an efficient education system, and health

care problems that can lead to future difficulties for Pakistan. As Pakistan has
faced many challenges in history, it can also face any other challenge with faith
and strength.
