Pakistan a Cultural Hub

Pakistan is home to some of the most fascinating landscapes in the world. Additionally, it carries a very rich historical and cultural heritage.In ancient times, Pakistan was a major cultural hub. Many cultural practices and great monuments have been inherited from the time of the ancient rulers of the region. One of the greatest cultural influences was that of the Persian Empire, of which Pakistan was a part. In fact, the Pakistani satraps were at one time the richest and most productive of the massive Persian Empire. Other key influences include theAfghan Empire, and later, the short lived but influential Mughal Empire.

History of Present Pakistan

The history of present-day Pakistan is very eventful, deep, and rich. Visitors can look back into this history through various historical locations such as the Mughal architecture, ancient Budhist towns around Taxila, the Indus Valley civilization, colonial heritage, and many more! Using these notable sites to look into Pakistan's history gives one a good understanding of Pakistani culture, and the role of historic sites, events, and civilizations in shaping this culture. Pakistan is a very peaceful country and its people show hospitality to every person who comes there in their country. Even now when Pakistan is facing a lot of problems of terrorism, economical, social, religious but still there is a hope in the eyes of the people. That one day every thing will be all right and we will again see a peaceful Pakistan.
