1. Introduction

1.1             The Islamic Republic of Pakistan was founded on the 14th August 1947. It is a land of snow-covered peaks and burning deserts, of fertile mountain valleys and irrigated plains. It is peopled by some 149.03 million inhabitants representing an array of ethnic groups but united by the Islamic faith. Pakistan is strategically placed at the crossroads of Asia, where the road from China to the Mediterranean meets the route from India to Central Asia. For thousands of years, this junction has been a melting pot of diverse cultures, attracting traders and adventures, pilgrims and holy men.

1.2 Located in South Asia, Pakistan is bordered by India on the east, China on the north east, Afghanistan on the north west while Iran shares its border in the south west and Arabian Sea in the south. The borders of Pakistan encompass a total area of 796,096 square kilometers.

1.3 Climatically, Pakistan enjoys a considerable measure of variety. North and northwestern high mountain ranges are extremely cold in winter while the summer months from April to September are very pleasant. The vast plains of the Indus Valley are extremely hot in summer and have cold weather in winter. The coastal strip in the south has a temperate climate. There is general deficiency in the rainfall. Average rainfall is 762 millimeters per annum.

1.4 Pakistan’s 4000-years history is richly illustrated by archaeological sites and imposing monuments scattered the length and breadth of the country. Brick cities from the Indus Civilization, which flourished around 2000 BC, stand beside Buddhist ruins contemporaneous with the birth of Christianity. Magnificent Muslim tombs from the 12th century vie with the palaces, mosques and forts of the Moghul Emperors of the 16th and 17th centuries.
