What do you think of when you hear the word Pakistan? Most of us were born and raised after partition and have a
stereotypical image set in our minds when it comes to our neighbouring country. But, India & Pakistan were one
nation once, and a line of control didnt deteriorate the talent and passion people had. They are not different than us

in any way. In fact, Paksitan has achieved some remarkable things since independence and each and every citizen
should be very proud of that.
Here are few facts about Pakistan which prove its excellence in economy, heritage and natural beauty!
