First things first. Many people might even wonder what and where is Pakistan?
Pakistan is a relatively young country that is a part of the Indian Sub-Continent.
The Indian Sub-Continent is in central Asia. The Sub-Continent comprises of Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and the Himalayan states of Nepal, and Bhutan. Sri Lanka is an island off the southeastern tip of the Indian peninsula and is often considered a part of the sub-continent too.
This region or most of it was once ruled by the Moghul Dynasty which led to the mixing and merging of cultures from all over the region. The biggest contribution to the mixing of cultures was languages and of course cuisine. There was a huge army to be maintained, the army was always on the move bringing with it cuisines from all over the Sub-Continent too.
Pakistan is bordered by India to the east, Afghanistan to the west, Iran to the south-west, and China in the far north-east. It is separated narrowly from Tajikistan by Afghanistan’s Wakhan Corridor in the north-west, and also shares a maritime border with Oman.
