The Islamic Republic of Pakistan is a sovereign state in South Asia, whose territory roughly corresponds to the site of the Indus Valley Civilisation.
History
On the basis of the theory that Muslims and Hindus in India constitute two distinct nations, the Pakistan Movement championed the creation of a new nation-state out of the Muslim-majority areas of British India. They coined the name Pakistan as an acronym of the regions they dreamed would compose the state: Punjab (P), Afghan (A), Kashmir (K), Sindh (S), and Balochistan (-tan). The Dominion of Pakistan and the Republic of India then emerged as separate states in 1947 when the country was partitioned in the wake of independence from the British Empire.[1] Although Pakistan was established mostly as envisioned apart from the disputed Kashmir region, Punjab and Bengal were forcibly divided with the Republic of India.[1]
When Punjab was split in 1947, Hindus in the western part of the region migrated to the east to remain within the borders of India. These migrants had to abandon the temple complex of Katasraj Mandir although in the present-day, a few devotees still cross the border to go on pilgrimage there.[2]
