Flag of Pakistan

At first glance, the flag of Pakistan suggests that it is a Muslim state. The rectangular leaf bears on a green background two traditional symbols of Islam – a white crescent and a five-pointed star, where the crescent signifies progress and the star knowledge and light. The white stripe on the pole side of the flag is meant to represent Pakistan’s minorities (Hindus, Christians and Buddhists), thereby indirectly expressing religious tolerance in the country. White is also supposed to represent peace and prosperity together with green. The flag was inspired by the flag of the All India Muslim Union, which in 1947 advocated the division of British India into two separate states – Hindu India and predominantly Muslim Pakistan.

Pakistan is a state in South Asia. It borders on Iran, Afghanistan, China and India. In the south, Pakistan is part of the coast of the Arabian Sea, a tributary of the Indian Ocean. See Pakistan Location on World Map. The state of Pakistan emerged in 1947 from the predominantly Muslim parts of British India, while the areas with a Hindu or other population majority as well as most of the predominantly Muslim Kashmir in today’s India were dissolved. In 1956 Pakistan proclaimed itself the first Islamic Republic on earth. The former part of East Pakistan has been independent as Bangladesh since 1971.
