Pakistan emerged on the map of the world as an independent sovereign state in August 1947, as a result of the division of the British India.
The land of Pakistan (area 7,96,099 km population nearly 70 million) is rich in landscapes and cultural traditions. Half a dozen civilizations have flourished here and left their imprints. Historically this is one of the most ancient lands known to man. Its cities flourished before Babylon was built, and one can trace its history back to at least 2500 years B.C.
Excavation at Harrappa, Mohen-jo-Daro and Kot Diji have brought to light evidence of an advanced civilization. In 712 A.D. the Arabs, led by Mohammad Bin Qasim, landed near Modern Karachi and ruled part of the land which is now Pakistan for 200 years. During this time Islam took roots in the soil and influenced the life, culture and traditions of the people. In the 10th century A.D. began the systematic conquest of undivided India by Muslims from Central Asia who ruled the whole subcontinent upto the 18th century A.D. when the British invaded the land and ruled for nearly 200 years.
In 1930 the well known Poet Philosopher Dr. Mohammad Iqbal conceived the idea of a separate State for the Muslims of the subcontinent. After 17 years of untiring struggle under the brilliant leadership of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Pakistan became an independent State on 14th August, 1947.
