2. CULTURE AND SUB CULTURE OF PAKISTAN
Culture consists of language, values, characteristics, beliefs, customs, institutions, tools,
arts, religion, law, ceremonies and festivals. Pakistan has a very rich cultural and
traditional background. A Pakistani culture is influenced by number of culture. Pakistan
has many subcultures. It has four provinces, Punjab, Sindh, NWFP and
Baluchistan. The residents of each province have distinct cultures which makes them
different from other. English is the official language in Pakistan, but the national
language is Urdu, which is widely spoken and understood throughout the country.
Punjabi, Pashto, Sindhi, Balochi and Kashmiri and various others are the regional
languages; Potohari, Sheena, Gilgiti, seriaki and etc. These Pakistani cultures have
been greatly influenced by many of the surrounding countries‟ cultures, such as those of
Turkish, Persian, Afghan, and Indians of South Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East.
Pakistani Societies are rich with multi-ethnic and multilingual, multi-ethnic and
multicultural. Though cultures within the country differ to some extent, more similarities
than differences can be found as most Pakistanis are of mainly „Aryan‟ heritage and/or
have lived side by side along the Indus River for the past several thousand years and
coexisted. However, over 60 years of integration, a distinctive “Pakistani” culture has
sprung up especially in the urban areas where many of the diverse ethnic groups have
coexisted and in many cases, intermarried. Education is highly regarded by members of
every socio-economic stratum with the country now having a literacy rate of 55%, up
from 3% at the time of independence.
Increasing globalization has increased the influence of Western culture in Pakistan,
especially among the affluent, which have easy access to Western products, television,
media, and food. Many Western food chains have established themselves in Pakistan,
and are found in the major cities. At the same time, there is also a reactionary
movement within Pakistan that wants to turn away from Western influences, and this
has manifested itself in a return to more traditional roots, often conflated with Islam.
