PAKLINKS BANNER EXCHANGE
PAKISTAN is a country in the northwest of the Indian subcontinent. To
the east and southeast is India, to the west is Iran, and to the north
are Afghanistan, the former Soviet Union, and China. Mountains stretch
down to the Arabian Sea and below them is the broad valley of the Indus
River. There are four distinct areas: Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, and the
North West Frontier Province. Four tributaries of the mighty Indus water
the plateau of the Punjab, the area of Pakistan most blessed by nature.
Other regions of the country, Balochistan for example, are different in
character and impose harsher conditions on the people who live there. The
regional differences in landscape and fertility of the soil mirror the
differences of the peoples who live off the land.
