The Islamic Republic of Pakistan is a sovereign country located in South Asia.[1][2][3]It has a 1,046 kilometer (650 mile) coastline along the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman in the south, and is bordered by Afghanistan and Iran in the west, India in the east andChina in the far northeast.[4]
The region forming modern Pakistan was home to the ancient Indus Valley Civilizationand then, successively, recipient of ancient Vedic, Persian, Indo-Greek and Islamiccultures. The area has witnessed invasions and settlement by the Persians, Greeks,Arabs, Turks, Afghans and the Mongols.[5] It was a part of British India until 1947, when the Pakistan Movement for a state for Muslims, led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah and theMuslim League resulted in the independence and creation of the state of Pakistan, that comprised the provinces of Sindh, North-West Frontier Province, West Punjab, Baluchistan and East Bengal. With the adoption of its constitution in 1956, Pakistan became an Islamic republic. In 1971, a civil war in East Pakistanresulted in the independence of Bangladesh. Pakistan's history has been characterized by periods ofeconomic growth, military rule and political instability.
