Summary "The South Asian land we now call Pakistan has been home to different important groups and civilizations since ancient times, but it did not become its own nation until it was separated from India by the British in 1947. Readers dive deep into Pakistan's past as they explore the relationship between history and contemporary culture. Focused chapters highlight Pakistan's geography, religious groups, government, and more, and readers also develop a strong sense of what daily life is like for Pakistani people. Recipes, fact boxes, sidebars, maps, and colorful photographs add to this enlightening reading experience"-- Provided by publisher.
