How old is Pakistan?

Depending on what you mean, the answer is either 65 years or 4 years. Pakistan has been an independent nation since 1947, but has gone through several changes of government in the meantime. the current rule of Asif Ali Zardari dates back to 2008. Pakistan, then part of British India, achieved independence from the British Empire in 1947. The former British colony was almost immediately partitioned, with Muslim-dominated areas going to Pakistan, and Hindu-dominated areas going to India. Originally, Pakistan comprised West Pakistan, which is the modern Pakistan, and East Pakistan, which is today Bangladesh. East Pakistan became Bangladesh after winning its independence in the 1971 war. As far as different ruling regimes in Pakistan, the state was a British Dominion, loosely affiliated with Britain, until 1956, when it became an Islamic Republic. The first democratic elections were held in 1970, followed by a military coup in 1977. Elections were held again in 1988, and democratic rule lasted until the 1998 coup by Pervez Musharraf. Musharraf stepped down in 2008, and Pakistan now finds itself in a grey area, somewhere between a democracy and military rule, while some of the outlying tribal areas are virtually independent of Islamabad.

Which Muslim leader established Muslim dynasty in India that followed Sultanates and Mughal Dynasties?

Up until 1946, there was only one surviving Sultanate in Delhi, India. The remaining ruling dynasties had been defeated either in battle with the Colonial English, or they had made treatises to limit their powers. After 1947, India, Pakistan, Burma, and Nepal were made into independent countries that were no longer dependent on Britain for policy.India became a socialist country in which there may be remaining Muslim ruling dynasty members who are honorary such as the descendants of Tipu Sultan who live in Calcutta, but there are none today that enjoy any more power than what their citizenship rights or wealth can afford. Pakistan became a secular state as well in which none of the ruling dynasties survived, and Nepal continued to have a ruling dynasty only up until 2008.There are numerous Muslim leaders in these countries today from the various sects that make up the countries.

Why was India split into two and later three separate nations following World War 2 and what three countries did it become?

Indian minority group , The Muslims demanded for a self ruling independent country, at present , "Pakistan" which was followed by another demand of giving the eastern minority groups an independent country which is now "Bangladesh". For the why part, no official reason was given by Britishers, governing body explained those two provinces Punjab and West Bengal, as too large to govern effectively. It was seen as an attempt of "divide and rule" which India still pays for and will continue paying.
