Nearly 70 languages are spoken in Pakistan, and today in this blog, I will share my thoughts about cultural diversity in Pakistan. In Pakistan, 45% of people living in Pakistan speak the language of Punjabi, and they belong to the region of Punjab. And they have a strong cultural identity and Sufi tradition. The people have their own culture. Well, culture will be discussed in a later section. And 15 to 18% of people speak the Pashto language, and they live in the region of Heber, Paktia, Paktika, and northern Balochistan. Their traits are hospitality and their marital tradition. About 14% of people spoke, speak, Sinti language, and Sophie mysticism and folk tradition with Indus Valley heritage is their notable trait. 4 to 5% of people speak the Balochi language, and they live in the region of Balochistan. Tribalism, poetry, and their culture are notable symbols. People come from other countries, and they are nearly 8 to 10%, and they are known as Mahajur. They also speak Urdu and they live in urban Sindh, especially they live in Karachi, and some of them live in Punjab, Pakistan. Most of them also live in Kabar Pakhtukwa, which came from Afghanistan during the Russian invasion, and many other people speak, Saraiqi, Hazaras, Kashmiri, Kalash, Baltis, Shana, Waki, and Borosu languages. In the courtesy of a cook studio, there was a song which was named as Mahman and in that song it was exposed that only a few people speak this language in which the first part of the song was sung Now talking about the religious diversity then 80 to 85% people are Sunni while 10 to 15% people are Shia whereas a large number of Hindu live in the province of Sindh and many Christians live in the province of Punjab. As I spoke earlier, 70 languages are spoken in Pakistan, and Urdu is the national language. English is used as an official language in bureaucracy and laws. Whereas the national dress of Pakistan is Shalwar Kameez. And in the diversity of music and dance, we have Kavali tradition, which belongs to Sufi culture, Bansuri, Atan, Ho Jamalo, and Bhangada. In the most famous cuisines, Punjabi Cuisine, Sindhi Cuisine, KP and Balochistan cuisines, and Gilgat-Baltistani cuisine, which includes Nehari, Sagh, Lassi, Sindhi biryani, Chapoli Kabab, and Mamto Goli respectively, are famous cousins in this country. According to UNESCO data, Mahonjo Dado, Taxila, and Makhli Nacropolis are international assets, whereas it has vast sites for tourism like Kalash Valley, all in this valley, Murray, Ayubia, Abu-Tabat, and many other nature-loving sites. So the main aim of the stack is that my beloved country, Pakistan, has thousands of ways to improve itself. If we focus on its culture, it has a vast cultural diversity, which can lead to the cultural heritage in this country, and it can be a sign of progress. Because there is already a country that was poor at the time of its independence, but due to its culture, the country is recognized around the world, and that country is South Korea. Well, many people who like to listen to music must listen to songs from the genre. South Korea and South Korea has its international recognition. If this cultural heritage is allowed to be the national unity, then it will promote a soft power globally, leading to countrywide progress.
