    Pakistani Culture

    • Pakistan Culture is generally considered to be the


    basic identity of Pakistan nation as their trends,
    History, Salient Features, rituals and way of life
    forms their culture of living, and this culture
    becomes their distinctiveness
    • Like all countries Pakistan also do have the
    Culture which is being circulated all over the
    territory but at the same time continuous
    amendments are being done in the national
    culture of the state.
    • from where the culture of Pakistan has
    originated?
    • Before independence in 1947 Pakistan was
    combined with the Sub Continent India,
    where Hindus and Muslims used to live
    together on one land.
    • Before that it was the Mughal Empire of
    Muslims which made us renowned and
    popular all over the globe
    • It is not surprising that still after hundreds of
    years we do have various features and
    reflection of that old traditional culture in our
    modern Pakistan.
    • So from those old days the culture of Pakistan
    is being transferred and is being redefined at
    regular intervals.
    • After the independence when the Muslims of
    Sub Continent got the separate homeland, it
    was the time when the real culture of Pakistan
    was being formed which was being made
    complementing with the ideology on the basis
    of which the independence was being
    acquired.
    • Sometimes it is the fact that the people living
    in any specific culture modify themselves to
    make them compatible with it.
    • In the other cases people modify the culture
    which suits their way of life.
    • Western countries are the major example of
    the second type in which people modify the
    culture as per their interest and their comfort
    ability.
    • If we define the real concept of Culture than it
    can be stated in such a phrase that; “Culture”
    can be defined in many different ways, Culture
    may be defined as behavior peculiar to human
    beings, together with material objects used.
    • Culture consists of language, ideas, values,
    attributes, beliefs, customs, codes,
    institutions, tools, works and arts, religion,
    law, morality, ceremonies and festivals.
    Salient Features of Pakistani Culture:

    • The origination of the Pakistani culture and


    ethnic background has firm foundations and
    background in the past history; going back to
    the Indus Valley Civilization, which existed
    from 2800–1800 B.C, and was renowned for
    its ordered cities, advanced sanitation,
    excellent roads, and uniquely structured
    society.
    • Various invasions have taken place in the
    territories of Pakistan as it has been invaded
    many times in the past, and has been
    occupied and settled by many different
    peoples, each of whom have left their imprint
    on the current inhabitants of the country.
    Some of the largest groups were the ‘Aryans’,
    Greeks, Scythians, Persians, White Huns,
    Arabs, Turks, Mongols, Afghans, Buddhists and
    other Eurasian groups, up to and including the
    British, who left in the late 1940’s.
    • Being a Muslim and the country being the
    Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the culture of the
    country should be aligned with the teachings
    of Islam, Quran and Sunnah.
    • The rules and regulations which are being
    established in the state are not contradictory
    to the teachings of Islam and that is why after
    the independence the name of the state was
    being finalized as Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
