Pakistan is a country located at the convergence of Central Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, and the Middle East. It is bordered by Afghanistan and Iran in the west, India in the east and China in the far northeast. The area has witnessed invasions and settlement by the Aryans, Persians, Greeks, Arabs, Turks, Afghans and the Mongols. It was a part of British Raj from 1858 to 1947, when the Pakistan Movement for a state for Muslims resulted in the independence and creation of the state of Pakistan. With the adoption of its constitution in 1956, Pakistan became an Islamic republic. Pakistan's history has been characterized by periods of economic growth, military rule and political instability. It is the sixth most populous country in the world and has the second largest Muslim population in the world after Indonesia.
