Topic: Pakistan

Pakistan is a South Asian country and western neighbour of India. It was created in 1947 after being partitioned from India during independence. Founded as a Muslim-majority state, its early years were shaped by leaders like Muhammad Ali Jinnah, its founding father and first Governor-General, and Liaquat Ali Khan, its first Prime Minister.

The country has experienced periods of military rule, political instability, and economic challenges. Currently, Pakistan faces severe economic stress, marked by high inflation and external debt.

With India, although it shares a common past, and the water of the Indus and tributaries, it shares strained relations over longstanding border disputes. Pakistan has fought three wars with India, with border tensions persisting over Kashmir and historical grievances, including the creation of Bangladesh in 1971, further straining relations.
