Description
Ever since the creation of Pakistan as an independent Muslim state in 1947, the country has struggled to integrate a diverse population and stabilize its borders. During its short but turbulent history, Pakistan has yet to achieve those goals, as political, economic, and social upheavals continue to challenge the world's ninth most populous state.
