Pakistan is home to some of the mos

Pakistan is home to some of the most fertile land on earth in the delta of, and the lands surrounding the Indus River. This region has been home to people for centuries and over time hundreds of ethnic groups have come and gone until the people that live there today settled. This land provides multiple foods and animals as the people spent much of history in this region as farmers.

As with any fertile land that is accessible, others came to take the land or trade with them and the people of Pakistan today are truly the result of these various people as their way of life shifted to both farming and trading as the primary industries.

Despite the openness and willingness to trade with anyone, over time the people of Pakistan became Muslims and this later became the primary means of differentiating themselves from the people of India. Although few people are devout Muslims today, the religion has played a significant role in their culture as dietary restrictions have been introduced, dress and behavior have changed, and in the greater world, Pakistan now looks to the west instead of to the east when it comes to allies and politics.

In more recent times Pakistan has been thrown further into flux. Most of the population continues to work on farms, but the British introduced new technologies from the Industrial Revolution and the cities of Pakistan have used this technology to create a new urban lifestyle and jobs that were never available in the past. This is creating a divide among the people by generation as the youth is growing up with high tech communication and are focused on growth in this sector, while many people in the older generations tend to be more conservative and remain in the villages and on their farms.
