Pakistan is my beloved country which consists now of 13 million people as calculated in 2016. Pakistan came into being in 1947 while before it was a part of the subcontinent. As per books and saying of our elders, in the same country two different populations were living which were Muslims and Hindus. It was difficult for both of them to live and worship with each other. So our great leaders like Allama Iqbal and Quid e Azam played an important role and they asked Muslims and government to get a separate country.
With the help of Allah we got the separate country and became a nation on 14th August 1947.
Dear friends, we are Muslims and our living style and worship are different from other nations. So it was compulsory for us to have a separate country where we can worship without interruption.

Education in Punjab:
Punjabi people believe that education is very important and there is no other way of making progress without education so that they send their children to schools usually in the age of 4 years. Our children are also very intelligent and hard working in studies. We believe that education is the only way with which we can take down our enemies.

Punjab is also on number one in dressing in the whole Pakistan. We have cultural dress shalwar kameez but no in schools and universities, we wear the pants shirt. Our basic dress is shalwar kameez and it is liked in the whole province. We make shalwar kameez at home or usually, it is made by tailors. Women wear shalwar kameez with some embroidery. Our dress is simple and comfortable.
