Pakistan is a country in South Asia whose territory roughly corresponds to the site of the Indus Valley Civilisation.[1]
History
The modern state of Pakistan emerged out of the 1947 Partition of India, then under the control of the British Empire into two Dominions based on religion: majority non-Muslim districts became the Dominion of India and majority Muslim districts, the Dominion of Pakistan, which what is now Pakistan to the west and present-day Bangladesh to the east.[2] It joined together the provinces of Sindh, Balochistan, the North-West Frontier Province, and the western part of the Punjab. The region of Kashmir remained contested.[3] Despite this, some historians consider Pakistan the "inheritor of the Indus Valley civilization" and include events millenia before 1947 in the country's history, such as the region's conquest by the Achaemenid Empire.[4]
In 1947, with the division of the Punjab region, the Hindus migrated to the Eastern Punjab in the newly-established India, abandoning the temple complex of Katasraj Mandir, though a few devotees still cross the border to go on pilgrimage there.[5]
