Quote:Pakistan has been a state since 1947, [color="#FF0000"]but is still not a nation.[/color] More precisely, Pakistan is the name of a land and a people inside a certain geographical boundary that is still lacking the crucial components needed for nationhood: a strong common identity, mental make-up, a shared sense of history and common goals. The failure so far to create a cohesive national entity [color="#FF0000"]flows from inequalities of wealth and opportunity, absence of effective democracy and a dysfunctional legal system.[/color]
