Pakistan

Quality wise as well as quantity wise IAF takes the lead against PAF.

Pakistan previously comprised West Pakistan and East Pakistan, which since 1971 has been the separate country of Bangladesh.

In the 1967 edition of Whitaker's almanac the population of West Pakistan was given as 43 million, and that of East Pakistan as 51 million.

the combined population of the provinces making up West Pakistan was:

34 million in 1951, a few years after partition;

43 million in 1961, which corresponds with the figure given above;

66 million in 1972;

87 million in 1981;

132 million in 1998.

The 2010 population of that territory is estimated to be about 170 million.

The population now is about 156 million, but from a chart it appears to have been about 42 million at the time of partition, and about 58 million in 1961.

So the answer to the question: "What was the population of Pakistan in 1947?" has to come in two parts:

1. For the entire territory that was then Pakistan, about 76 million - 34 million in West Pakistan plus 42 million in East Pakistan - which combined total of 76 million has now grown to about 326 million.

2. Just for the territory that is now Pakistan, about 34 million, which has grown to about 170 million.

What we know today as Holland was called Batavia in Roman times. The Batavians were allies of the Romans and helped them in their conquest of Britain and of the Germanic tribes. Due to a misunderstanding, they revolted against the Romans and a war was fought which the Romans won, in 69 AD. From that time, (69 AD) the Roman army took over the area and the Batavians became Romanized. Batavia was a key area which protected the northern Roman border from the hostile Germanic tribes.

Remittances, primarily. If the Saudi economy does well, Pakistanis will immigrate to Saudi Arabia in order to perform low level menial work for better wages than they would make in Pakistan. They then send money back to their relatives in Pakistan as remittances, which provide additional cash flow into Pakistan.

The Pakistan Army is one of the world's largest armies, it is not a militia, as militias do not have numerious armored and aviation corps, as well as formal commissioned and non-commissioned rank structure. The Pakistan Army's overall infantry strength is 740,000, with another 500,000 in reserve, which is larger than the U.S Army. The Army is in the process of strengthening and modernizing its armor and aviation forces.Also because the Pakistani forces during the war of 1965 with India,repulsed the attack of the Indian forces though much larger in quantity and others such as its airforce,navy and ground forces.Pakistan is the only Muslim state currently possessing nuclear weapons,missiles,a large and powerful airforce with its different fighters and a world-class navy with submarines and cruise missiles.Commandoes and the famous baloch regiment is still feared.Its guerrila forces can undergo any type of problem,risking their lives and as Pakistan is an Islamic republic,they also fight for martyrdom as this will secure there place in heaven(jannah) rather than dying with a natural cause or running back.Their morale is very high during war or fighting,any type of war.even the Pakistan forces are currently in many places fighting for the united-nations as the peace-keeping forces.Pakistan armed forces including the air force,navy can defeat any type of army they are to fight with.

It is completely one of the best fighting forces in the world as it managed to show in 1965 when it defended the major city of Lahore against an army much larger its size and has shown immense capability in its recent operations against the Taliban namely Rah E Nijat and Rah E Rast in Swat and Waziristan respectively. On the contrary it has had its bad moments like any other army in the world as it had in December 1971 in East Pakistan. Otherwise it is known as a courageous and brave army willing to lose everything for the safety for its country.

It is know officially as an Islamic economic system which combines some elements of a capitalist system (opening for private enterprise) with a socialist one in which still there is a strict control of the government in important economic sectors.

Greater India (which included modern day India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Burma, Bhutan & Sri Lanka) was part of the British empire and at the end of the second world war Great Britain had huge labour shortages, so they invited people from the former colonies to come and fill the huge holes in the workforce. There was a lot of poverty in the newly formed states of India and Pakistan, so naturally a fair number of people took up the offer to come and work in the UK.

The mixed economy is the name given to the economy of Pakistan. The economy of Pakistan is the 44th largest in the world in terms of the nominal GDP and the 26th largest in terms of the purchasing power parity.

Karachi is the financial and commercial capital of Pakistan. In line with its status as a major port and the country's largest metropolis, it accounts for a lion's share of Pakistan's revenue generation. According to the Federal Board of Revenue's 2006-2007 year book tax and customs units in Karachi was responsible for 46.75% of direct taxes, 33.65% of federal excise tax, and 23.38% of domestic sales tax[22]. Karachi also accounts for 75.14% of customs duty and 79% of sales tax on imports[22]. Therefore, Karachi generates a significant 53.38% of the total collections of the Federal Board of Revenue, out of which 53.33% are customs duty and sales tax on imports[22] (Note: Revenue collected from Karachi includes revenue from some other areas since the Large Tax Unit (LTU) Karachi and Regional Tax Offices (RTOs) Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur & Quetta cover the entire province of Sindh and Baluchistan[22]). Karachi produces about 30 percent of value added in large scale manufacturing[23] and 55% of the GDP of Pakistan[citation needed]. In February 2007, the World Bank identified Karachi as the most business-friendly city in Pakistan[24]. Karachi is the nerve center of Pakistan's economy. The economic stagnation due to political anarchy, ethnic strife and resultant military operation during late 80s and 90s led to efflux of industry from Karachi. Despite this severe shock, Karachi claims the highest per capita income in South Asia, with a GDP per capita greater than $8,000 today.[citation needed] Most of Pakistan's public and private banks are headquartered on Karachi's I.I. Chundrigar Road, while most major foreign multinational corporations operating in Pakistan have their headquarters in Karachi. The Karachi Stock Exchange is the largest stock exchange in Pakistan, and is considered by many economists to be one of the prime reasons for Pakistan's 8% GDP growth across 2005.[25] During the 1960s, Karachi was seen as an economic role model around the world, and there was much praise for the way its economy was progressing. Many countries sought to emulate Pakistan's economic planning strategy and one of them, South Korea, copied the city's second "Five-Year Plan" and World Financial Centre in Seoul is designed and modeled after Karachi.[26][27]. Recently, Karachi has seen an expansion of information and communications technology and electronic media and has become the software outsourcing hub of Pakistan. Call centers for foreign companies have been targeted as a significant area of growth, with the government making efforts to reduce taxes by as much as 10% in order to gain foreign investments in the IT sector[28][29]. Many of Pakistan's independent television and radio channels are based in Karachi including world popular Business Plus, GEO TV, KTN,[30] Sindh TV,[31] CNBC Pakistan, TV One, ARY Digital, Indus Television Network and Dawn News as well as several local stations. Karachi has several large industrial zones such as SITE, Korangi, Northern Bypass Industrial Zone, Bin Qasim and North Karachi located on the fringes of the main city.[32] The primary areas are textiles, pharmaceuticals, steel, and automobiles. In addition, Karachi has a vibrant cottage industry and there is a rapidly flourishing Free Zone with an annual growth rate of nearly 6.5%. The Karachi Expo Centre hosts many regional and international exhibitions[33]. There are many development projects proposed, approved and under construction in Karachi. Among projects of note, Emaar Properties is proposing to invest $43bn (£22.8bn) in Karachi to develop Bundal Island, which is a 12,000 acre (49 km²) island just off the coast of Karachi.[34] The Karachi Port Trust is planning a Rs. 20 billion, 1,947 feet (593 m) high Port Tower Complex on the Clifton shoreline.[35][36] It will comprise a hotel, a shopping center, an exhibition center and a revolving restaurant with a viewing gallery offering a panoramic view of the coastline and the city.

As I said, it takes time for ANY government to "evolve" to an effective one - this law holds for any nation.

One thing common to ALL successful nations is that they would have had a stable government for an extended period of time - whatever the system might be.

short answer: religion. Long answer: When the British gave up India they made sure that there would continue to be fighting in that part of the world by opting for partition. Every local government of the Indian subcontinent had existed for centuries with Moslems and Hindus and Christians and Parsis in harmony and peace, but the British saw that if they partitioned India into two separate countriesand forced them to divide by religion, they could cause decades of enmity as revenge for the various mutinies and the Indians insistence on independence.

It is a Muslim country because majority of its people are Muslims.

If the question is asking historically, the earliest Indus River Valley inhabitants were polytheists and the conquest of their civilization by the Aryans of the Caucasus Mountains in 15th century BCE and led to the creation of the Hindu Sacred Texts and the religion of Hinduism. Hinduism prevailed as the religion in what would become Pakistan until the Umayyad Caliphate conquered the province of Sindh and introduced Islam to the region in the 700s C.E. Over the next 1100 years, a parade of different Hindu and Islamic Empires ruled over parts of the Indian subcontinent so that by the 1930s, the Indian Subcontinent (British Colonial India) was roughly one-third Muslim and two-thirds Hindu with the primary concentration of Muslims where Pakistan and Bangladesh are today.

Muslim leaders in British India, like Muhammad Ali Jinnah, were afraid that should India become independent it would be a Hindu-dominated state that would actively perscute its Muslim citizens. As a result, they proposed that an Islamic State of Pakistan would be created in the areas where Muslims were most densely concentrated and the rest would belong to an independent India. While leaders like Gandhi disagreed, the Indian Hindus, like Jawaharlal Nehru accepted the partition. As a result Pakistan came into existence as an Islamic State, in the sense that it was for Muslims as a constituency/ethncity, not a religion. However, with the presidency of Zia ul-Haq, Pakistan has become more Islamist, incorporating parts of Shari'a into Pakistan's legal tradition.
