FILLER WEEK! Just a fun little extra administrative division video for you guys. We already did India's, so... Why not #Pakistan? Enjoy! Also Patreon Patrons, new stuff coming for you! Stay tuned!
As a Pakistani who has lived in Pakistan his whole life, I have to correct a few mistakes. First of all, Khyber Pakhtunkhawas short form is KPK not KP. The Indian Punjabi people are mostly Sikh not Hindu. Otherwise, great video
There are Hindus in Punjab ethnicity also Just like Jatt, khokar , khattar, Hooda Punjabi is an ethnicity whole Sikh are different religion who originated from Punjabi Remember this forever 👆👆😊
Fun Fact 1: Sindh is the only fully pakistani region that is mentioned in Indian national anthem! This is because the Indian national anthem was adopted from a song written decades before the partition of 1947! Fun Fact 2: no indian mountaineer can scale the K2! This is because it is in the indo-pak disputed region controlled by pakistan & indian govt will have to accept it is in Pakistan to grant permission to apply for a pakistani visa!!
I would add the following: although Urdu is an official language (of which 77% of Pakistanis can speak), only 7.08% of Pakistanis identify Urdu as their mother tongue. The districts in Karachi are the only districts in Pakistan in which the plurality of residents identify Urdu as their mother tongue (Source: 2017 Pakistan Census.) That being said, I have met four sets of Pakistanis in my small hometown in the US, all hailing from Lahore in Punjab. In casual conversation, they all used Urdu. Since I have been teaching myself Hindi, I have been able to deliver a few phrases to these Pakistanis I've met. They will point out that words like "parivaar" or "namaste" are Hindi terms, but they understood what they meant. The mutual intelligibility between Hindi and Urdu is incredibly high.
Even in india.. we indian muslims use more urdu than Hindi ...like i know what pariwaar and namste mean but I would rather say rishtedaar and assalam alaikum respectively
The name Pakistan was proposed by Chaudhary Rehmat Ali. The word Pakistan refers to the five Muslim-majority regions in the northwest of the Indian subcontinent. The thing is Chaudhary Rehmat proposed the name of Pakistan but he also proposed the names of many other Muslim-majority regions of the subcontinent, he remained the Indian subcontinent as "Dinia". Dinia was represented with dependencies Pakistan, Osmanistan (representing Hyderabad Deccan and neighboring areas) Bangistan (representing Bengal), and many more. he proposed an independent islamic muslim state for Bengali, Assamese, and Bihari Muslims. Bangistan later became East Pakistan and now Bangladesh. You can search for his proposed "continent of Dinia" to get a clear picture of his demands.
@@nos44-aren’t they similar? I think everyting is the same except religion because punjabis converted to islam. I do have a question though. Aren’t punjabis pissed that they got seperated by the land border. Do they not want a country for themselves? Since they speak the same language and stuff. That’s something I was curious about.
One correction barbs,at 5:39 you said there is a difference in religion, there is but in Indian Punjab the majority religion is Sikhism and not Hinduism unlike rest of India and fun fact our one of the most sacred Sikhism Gurudwara is situated in Punjab Province, Pakistan called Nankana Sahib where the founder of Sikhism Guru Nanak Dev Ji, was born.When he was young he came to Sultanpur Lodhi in Indian Punjab and lived his rest of life until he went back to Pakistan and vanished(died) in Kartarpur.
@@bora--bora I am saying that with the foundation of sikhism the growth was rapid and by 18th century with the sikh empire ruling, it grew even more and never went back since.
@@ABCantonese before Himachal and haryana were separate states i.e. with Punjab, Punjab still had sikh majority but we can't deny that there are many Hindus as well.
Modern Hindi and Urdu were both developed in Delhi/its surrounding areas from Old Hindi or Prakrit and both are referred as one language called Hindustani, that is why they are mutually understandable.
My kind of travel plan for Pakistan as Iranian 1. Going: Chabahar at south of Iranian "Sistan and Baluchistan" province 2. Crossing border and going to Gwadr 2.5 visiting Hingol national park 3. Karachi 4. Visiting all provinces and territories 5. Quetta 6. Coming back to Iran via Cross border to Zahedan
Crazy timing for me, met a guy from Pakistan today who has just moved to the uk and after learning where he grow up I thought I should learn about the regions, “ maybe geography now can help” 😂 thanks for this
@@usmanqureshi08as an Indian from the South I'm glad partition happened (no more large religious polarization)but sadly lives were unnecessarily lost during the reckless process. And yes we aren't the same as you especially from my region. We do think every human must be treated as one though.
@@usmanqureshi08 the religion difference came much later, you all were hindus and Buddhists and were converted by foreign invaders forcibly. According to Wikipedia 75% muslims of indian subcontinent were hindu dalit who chose islam to evade caste discrimination lol
Edit: a reply corrected me, the "i" in Pakistan is not part of the izafat rule but the examples i gave of izafat are still correct and they said its still a good explanation of it, read this if u wanna learn about Urdu/Persian language but it doesn't add anything to geography the "i" in Pakistan is a literary technique in Urdu/Persian called izafaat. Izafaat works by using a word, that is not necessary an adjective, to describe another word - connecting the 2 with a zer (vowel diacritic that makes a e/i sound) - in a "root word" e "discriptive word" format. Paak-i-staan means land of the pure (pure e land). Another famous example is the koh-i-noor, the biggest of the diamonds that the British stole from us. Koh=mountain, noor=light so koh e noor is mountain e light, mountain is the word itself, light adds to it's meaning so imagine a mountain that's literally made from light, that is the koh e noor. The word for parliament is majlis e shura, majlis refers to a group and shura means advice so a majlis e shura is a govt advisory body (group e advice). In the intro to the song tajdar e haram (crown e holy lands, it's a popular religious song in Pakistan) God/Allah is refered to as "kaatib e taqdiir", "writer e destiny" which, by now, you'd know means "writer of destiny". A similar thing can be done using the letter waw (makes an "o" sound) to list things in a similar way to how we use triple emphasis in English. For example, in Faiz Ahmed Faiz's famous poem mujhse pehli si mohabbat meri mehboob na maang (O my love, dont ask me to love you like I did at firsty) he says that the curses have past centuries are woven into "resham o atlas o kamkhaab" meaning "silk and satin and [idk what kamkhaab is exactly but its another type of cloth]". You can see how it's like a list specifically there to build emphasis, in this case how prevalent outdated attitudes are in society. It doesn't have to be 3 items it can 2 or more but the only thing in English I could compare it to is triple emphasis which is always 3 items.

I live in Karachi, when he said New York of Pakistan at 7:15 I was literally laughing Karachi used to be the New York of Pakistan but now it's ruined thanks to the corrupt rulers. It's a large city and you will find both developed and undeveloped. but usually the roads are not in good condition and the drainage system is poor etc
@@mindtesting9913 i think she said that because Karachi is the biggest and most populated city in Pakistan, just like NYC is the biggest and most populated city in the US. Also, Karachi has the largest GDP despite the PPP's corruption and oppression.

As a Pakistani this was a well done video! Just 2 things, The pronunciation of "Pahari/Pothwari" is kinda off and that the people are a majority in AJK, Islamabad Capital Territory and North Punjab (Rawalpindi division/Potohar region) along with the Hindkowans (Hindko speakers) basically being the same people as us as well (I'm mixed Pahari/Pothwari myself from Rawalpindi). I'm just happy to see my people mentioned for once! Other than that it was pretty accurate, keep up the good work!
As someone from Attock Im surprised that he didnt mention much of pothwari or hindko culture, its huge... from hazara division to peshawar to attock, murree and islamabad down till kalar kahar, its very different from punjabi and pashtun culture of which they are a part of.
@farooqmian9344 Yes that's true, I hardly see anyone mention us, to a point where even mentioning the words "Pothwari" "Pahari" and "Hindko" make me happy 💀. But yeah it's a big region with its own culture that is highly underrated fr
@@khxrram even though we lie in the jurisdiction of Punjab but I dont consider myself as punjabi, we are hindko native speakers, our culture is different from central punjabis.
@@farooqmian9344 Yes hindko speakers usually identify themselves as Pashtun however Pashto speakers say they're not Pashtun I've been hearing this since ages the Pahari speakers in North Punjab and Azad Jammu and Kashmir have more in common with Punjabis I would say even though there is more variety in physical characteristics of people in Azad Jammu and Kashmir because of cold climate mountains and snow
Thanks Barbs for the very informative videos. I wanted to suggest you make a series of videos in the future : - Historical Geography: How countries looked before the modern age. - Weather Geography: How the presence of mountains, sea currents, and etc. affect the weather of a region. You have been doing this in all your videos, but it would be nice to have an explainer more specifically. For example, "What leads to the creation of deserts?" , "Why are some places very dry?" " Why does the bay area have cold weather?".

8:06 only Ladakh was "upgraded" into a union territory, J&K itself was downgraded into one (UTs have varying levels of autonomy but are always less autonomous than an actual state) with it previously being an autonomous state, which is why it's controversial.
@@victordashmohapatra3546In Pakistan, Azad Jammu and Kashmir is an independent territory with separate PM, President, Constitution, National anthem, Supreme Court and Election Commission.

I thought this video was missing information about the ethnic groups in Sindh province as it is one the most diverse province in the country so here are they Sindhis make up about 2/3rd or 65% of the province Muhajirs are about 20% Baloch are the third largest at about 10% And the remaining 5% has almost everyone mainly in Karachi including punjabi, pashton, afghans and even small communities of parsis

Iran fascinates me a lot as an Indian...the way Iran has managed to survive and thrive despite such tough sanctions by bullies like US. In India, many of our top industrialists are Parsis who escaped from Iran because of religious persecution by Islamists. Modern India owes a great deal to these Parsis and their vast contributions in nuclear energy, space tech and automobiles.
3:11 the Indus Valley peoples spoke a language that might have been the linguistic ancestor to all dravidian languages. The Indus Valley Peoples migrated to the southern part of India (because of a 100 year-long drought that happened worldwide, so they had to move to a more humid environment), but one people group stayed in the place that the other Indus Valley peoples left behind, and that one isolated people group adapted to live in these inhospitable dry conditions. This is just my theory based on a chart about world history by usefulcharts, it could be true, who knows.
@@kiwuuspurr1927 well as a pakistani. you are right. we tried so hard to end differences between west and east pakistan by adopting urdu as official for both provinces. but ultimately bengali nationalism didnt allow it. other than that, west pakistani plitical regime wanted to rule all of pakistan even tho mujeeb won the elections. this was the result of failure

How is Pakistan your homeland, your grandfather and probably father weren’t even born in Pakistan lol. Most of Baluchistan didn’t even vote in the referendum. Does the flag really determine your ‘homeland’? Were you British before 1947? Stop identifying with these fickle, fragile, and temporary colonial labels.
@@lol8q what? lmfaooo. Hinduism is a religion not ethnicity. secondly, our languages are panjabi, sindhi, balochi and pashto, all of those languages are ancient and not "hindu" that makes no sense whatsoever. our culture is Mughal influenced + panjabi, sindhi, baloch, and pashtun culture, not "arabic" as arabic is a language not culture and arabs are found in the middle east, arabs themselves have different cultures . our land before islam was buddhist, zoroastrain, pagan, jains and vedic religion not "hindu."
Iranis are practically Indo-Aryans themselves, only difference is the language similarity. And it is 'I'ran , where 'I' is pronounced as 'E' , not 'Eye'ran. And most Punjabis in India not Hindu but Sikhs.
Im very interested to see that as well. Im from Pakistan and I recently found out that Pakistani Pashtuns are very much alike kurdish people, even their language has a lot of similarities.
You missed the opportunity to collaborate with GoldenGully in this video. He is also known as the "Kulfi Man" and is of Pakistani descent, and lives in Canada.
Firstly thankful to shar experience for Balochistan and baloch. The word is "baloch/baluch" Not balochi. Balochi is one of language of baloch peoples like brahui and other 5 minor languages. Brahui are ethnically baloch as they have similar tribe names like other baloch tribes.

Pakistanis are so lucky their provinces have flags. I wish not just the states, but also all MP and MLA constituencies of India also had flags, emblems, mottos and anthems.
Correction 2:15 : Iranics are a part of Indo-Iranians (aka Indo-Aryans) . Some people refer only indic languages as Indo-Aryans, but that's incorrect. . In fact, the modern Persian name of Iran (ایران) derives immediately from the 3rd-century Sasanian Middle Persian ērān (Pahlavi spelling: 𐭠𐭩𐭫𐭠𐭭, ʼyrʼn), where it literally meant "of the Aryans". .
Karachi is probably the most diversified city of south Asia, you can find African decent, Bengali, Tamil, Marathi, Gujrati, Bihari, Afghan, various North Indian decent alongside with the rest of Pakistani ethnicities.
But lol, Karachi is a poor, underdeveloped city and doesn't even have a proper metro railway system, considering it's the largest city in entire Pakistan and it's not even developed than the cities from the ethnic groups you mentioned. How could every Indian ethnics live there? Tamil, Bengali? Never 😂😂😂😂😂 it's like saying that an American in Somalia lol
@@Variouscartoontopic So much of Karachi is dominated ethnographically by the "Urdu speaking" community; This is an umbrella term for individuals who migrated from India to Pakistan during partition, from many different provinces but in particular UP, Rajasthan, Gujrat, Maharashtra, Bihar etc. Many of them would initially speak their native languages but with time would begin to use Urdu as a lingua franca and took the name respectively. This large umbrella community forms around half of Karachi's population. This is followed by Pathans (15%), then Punjabis (10.7%), then Sindhi's (10.67%) (interestingly are a minority, though their population is growing), then Saraiki's (5%) (basically Southern Punjabis), then Baloch (4%), as well as many others. There is additionally estimated to be around 2.5 to 3 million ethnic Bengalis as well as around 400,000 Rohingya approximately in Karachi, from years long migration in the case of the latter, whereas the Bengali population was there mainly before 1971. There is also a large population of African origin Siddi who mainly speak the Baloch language, numbering anywhere from 250k to 1 million also predominantly in Karachi. This is just scratching the surface of course, there are many other groups not mentioned. As such it is a very large and ethnically diverse city. Though I agree with you that its been mismanaged with poor development in recent years, and is currently one giant mess Lahore has been built up much more effectively by contrast and I argue it's a much more properly managed city.

1. Faisal Mosque is no longer the largest mosque in Pakistan, this title was lost to Grand Jama Mosque, Bahria Town Karachi. 2. I always had doubts about the acronyms of Pakistan, since right after the partition, this was not how Pakistan looked. There was another unit called East Pakistan (now Bangladesh ❤️) and I don't see it's representation in the acronym. 3. The tallest building is the Icon tower, Karachi. 4. The largest mall is "Lucky One mall", Karachi. 5. The largest cross of South East Asia "Gora Qabaristan Cross" again in Karachi.
original meaning of PAKStan didn't include Bangladesh. but the name was still adopted because PAK means pure. just google: Now or Never; Are We to Live or Perish Forever?. it is also called Pakistan Declaration
East Bengal/East Pakistan wasn't added to the Pakistan name cuz East Bengal wasn't originally inteded to be a Pakistani province. But fun fact East Bengal ended up playing crucial parts in founding Pakistan. Saying as a Bangladeshi who knows some history.

I hope Vietnam will be be coming up in near future episodes. Curious on how you’d go about the episode….especially if Suni Ha Linh was in the episode (mere dreams lol)
I think both words are persian. Since I understand them both. But maybe we got the word ‘pak’ from urdu. Also possible, but usually we only give away our words to urdu😅
Both meanings are equally correct. Pakistan is derived from two Urdu/Farsi words, "Pak" meaning pure, and the "-istan" suffix meaning land of. So Pakistan means "the land of pure" .These words are borrowed from Farsi as 30% of Urdu words are of Persian origin. The abbreviation of Pakistan was created by Chaudhry Rehmat Ali, a British-Indian political activist, in his pamphlet "Now or Never" in the 1930s. P for Punjab, A for Afghania (now KPK), K for Kashmir, -istan from Balochistan. It is both an abbreviation and a real word.
@@usmanqureshi08Acronym is actually a fabrication because it's not mentioned anywhere it simply meant "Land of pure" When it was created . Where is "B" Of Bengal because it was part of Pakistan. And Balochistan was annexed by Pakistan in 1948.

Lessgoo!! Pakistan!! I can only imagine how different we are are but we still share a lot of stuff across this whole region!!
Edit: a reply corrected me, the "i" in Pakistan is not part of the izafat rule but the examples i gave of izafat are still correct and they said its still a good explanation of it, read this if u wanna learn about Urdu/Persian language but it doesn't add anything to geography
the "i" in Pakistan is a literary technique in Urdu/Persian called izafaat. Izafaat works by using a word, that is not necessary an adjective, to describe another word - connecting the 2 with a zer (vowel diacritic that makes a e/i sound) - in a "root word" e "discriptive word" format. Paak-i-staan means land of the pure (pure e land). Another famous example is the koh-i-noor, the biggest of the diamonds that the British stole from us. Koh=mountain, noor=light so koh e noor is mountain e light, mountain is the word itself, light adds to it's meaning so imagine a mountain that's literally made from light, that is the koh e noor. The word for parliament is majlis e shura, majlis refers to a group and shura means advice so a majlis e shura is a govt advisory body (group e advice). In the intro to the song tajdar e haram (crown e holy lands, it's a popular religious song in Pakistan) God/Allah is refered to as "kaatib e taqdiir", "writer e destiny" which, by now, you'd know means "writer of destiny". A similar thing can be done using the letter waw (makes an "o" sound) to list things in a similar way to how we use triple emphasis in English. For example, in Faiz Ahmed Faiz's famous poem mujhse pehli si mohabbat meri mehboob na maang (O my love, dont ask me to love you like I did at firsty) he says that the curses have past centuries are woven into "resham o atlas o kamkhaab" meaning "silk and satin and [idk what kamkhaab is exactly but its another type of cloth]". You can see how it's like a list specifically there to build emphasis, in this case how prevalent outdated attitudes are in society. It doesn't have to be 3 items it can 2 or more but the only thing in English I could compare it to is triple emphasis which is always 3 items.

why wasn't East Pakistan in acronym Pakistan??
@@victordashmohapatra3546 the original plan for Pakistan didn't include east pakistan
@@victordashmohapatra3546East Pakistan was kinda hurriedly added to Pakistan. It was bound to be a disaster.
The name Pakistan was proposed by Chaudhary Rehmat Ali. The word Pakistan refers to the five Muslim-majority regions in the northwest of the Indian subcontinent.
The thing is Chaudhary Rehmat proposed the name of Pakistan but he also proposed the names of many other Muslim-majority regions of the subcontinent, he remained the Indian subcontinent as "Dinia". Dinia was represented with dependencies Pakistan, Osmanistan (representing Hyderabad Deccan and neighboring areas) Bangistan (representing Bengal), and many more. he proposed an independent islamic muslim state for Bengali, Assamese, and Bihari Muslims. Bangistan later became East Pakistan and now Bangladesh. You can search for his proposed "continent of Dinia" to get a clear picture of his demands.@victordashmohapatra3546

As a Pakistani this was a well done video!
Just 2 things, The pronunciation of "Pahari/Pothwari" is kinda off and that the people are a majority in AJK, Islamabad Capital Territory and North Punjab (Rawalpindi division/Potohar region) along with the Hindkowans (Hindko speakers) basically being the same people as us as well (I'm mixed Pahari/Pothwari myself from Rawalpindi). I'm just happy to see my people mentioned for once!
Other than that it was pretty accurate, keep up the good work!
As someone from Attock Im surprised that he didnt mention much of pothwari or hindko culture, its huge... from hazara division to peshawar to attock, murree and islamabad down till kalar kahar, its very different from punjabi and pashtun culture of which they are a part of.
@farooqmian9344 Yes that's true, I hardly see anyone mention us, to a point where even mentioning the words "Pothwari" "Pahari" and "Hindko" make me happy 💀. But yeah it's a big region with its own culture that is highly underrated fr
@@farooqmian9344 are you a punjabi from attock?

- Weather Geography: How the presence of mountains, sea currents, and etc. affect the weather of a region.

3:11 the Indus Valley peoples spoke a language that might have been the linguistic ancestor to all dravidian languages. The Indus Valley Peoples migrated to the southern part of India (because of a 100 year-long drought that happened worldwide, so they had to move to a more humid environment), but one people group stayed in the place that the other Indus Valley peoples left behind, and that one isolated people group adapted to live in these inhospitable dry conditions.

You consider yourself as "AMERICAN".
hahahaha@@Variouscartoontopic
@@Variouscartoontopic So much of Karachi is dominated ethnographically by the "Urdu speaking" community; This is an umbrella term for individuals who migrated from India to Pakistan during partition, from many different provinces but in particular UP, Rajasthan, Gujrat, Maharashtra, Bihar etc. Many of them would initially speak their native languages but with time would begin to use Urdu as a lingua franca and took the name respectively. This large umbrella community forms around half of Karachi's population.
This is followed by Pathans (15%), then Punjabis (10.7%), then Sindhi's (10.67%) (interestingly are a minority, though their population is growing), then Saraiki's (5%) (basically Southern Punjabis), then Baloch (4%), as well as many others.
There is additionally estimated to be around 2.5 to 3 million ethnic Bengalis as well as around 400,000 Rohingya approximately in Karachi, from years long migration in the case of the latter, whereas the Bengali population was there mainly before 1971. There is also a large population of African origin Siddi who mainly speak the Baloch language, numbering anywhere from 250k to 1 million also predominantly in Karachi.
This is just scratching the surface of course, there are many other groups not mentioned. As such it is a very large and ethnically diverse city.
Though I agree with you that its been mismanaged with poor development in recent years, and is currently one giant mess
Lahore has been built up much more effectively by contrast and I argue it's a much more properly managed city.

1. Faisal Mosque is no longer the largest mosque in Pakistan, this title was lost to Grand Jama Mosque, Bahria Town Karachi.
2. I always had doubts about the acronyms of Pakistan, since right after the partition, this was not how Pakistan looked. There was another unit called East Pakistan (now Bangladesh ❤️) and I don't see it's representation in the acronym.
3. The tallest building is the Icon tower, Karachi.
4. The largest mall is "Lucky One mall", Karachi.
5. The largest cross of South East Asia "Gora Qabaristan Cross" again in Karachi.
original meaning of PAKStan didn't include Bangladesh. but the name was still adopted because PAK means pure. just google: Now or Never; Are We to Live or Perish Forever?. it is also called Pakistan Declaration
it's not represented in the acronym because it wasn't part of Iqbal's original plan for Pakistan in the 1930s
East Bengal/East Pakistan wasn't added to the Pakistan name cuz East Bengal wasn't originally inteded to be a Pakistani province. But fun fact East Bengal ended up playing crucial parts in founding Pakistan. Saying as a Bangladeshi who knows some history.

The meaning of pakistan could also be derived from the word pak meaning pure in urdu and istan/stan meaning place/country in persian
I think both words are persian. Since I understand them both. But maybe we got the word ‘pak’ from urdu. Also possible, but usually we only give away our words to urdu😅
Both meanings are equally correct.
Pakistan is derived from two Urdu/Farsi words, "Pak" meaning pure, and the "-istan" suffix meaning land of. So Pakistan means "the land of pure" .These words are borrowed from Farsi as 30% of Urdu words are of Persian origin.
The abbreviation of Pakistan was created by Chaudhry Rehmat Ali, a British-Indian political activist, in his pamphlet "Now or Never" in the 1930s. P for Punjab, A for Afghania (now KPK), K for Kashmir, -istan from Balochistan.
It is both an abbreviation and a real word.
But this is secondary and not important
Real meaning of PAKSTAN describes its ethnic nations as its acronym
@@usmanqureshi08Acronym is actually a fabrication because it's not mentioned anywhere it simply meant "Land of pure" When it was created .
Where is "B" Of Bengal because it was part of Pakistan. And Balochistan was annexed by Pakistan in 1948.

Google origin of word Pakistan by choudry rehmat ali in 1933 . you will know it’s acronym
BTW: Bengalis were never meant to be part of Pakistan
