LANDMARKS OF PAKISTAN
Each
country has symbols, monuments, structures which become its recognition
the world over. Eiffel Tower of France, Statue of Liberty of USA and
the London Bridge for UK. As of Pakistan, Koh Kambaran (Ras Koh Hills),
Minar-e-Pakistan, the Grand Trunk Road, the Badshahi Mosque, Shahi
Qilla, Shalamar Bagh, the River Indus, the K-2 , the Trango Towers, the
KKH, Zamzamma (the Kim's Gun), the Rohtas Fort and the Blind Dolphin of
River Indus are some of the many landmarks that have become synonymous
to Pakistan. Two buildings attributed to Jinnah (Quaid-e-Azam), founder
of Pakistan, one his mausoleum at Karachi and his last resting place at
Ziarat, Balochistan just before his death have assumed significant
importance. The tower like structure of Government College (and
University) at Lahore not only is a symbol of structural might but also
of quality education and torch bearer of enlightenment for future
generations. An exception has been made in this section by adding "Kafir
Kalash - the Wearers of the Black Robe" as one of the landmarks of
Pakistan, for the simple reason that these people are unique in the
entire world and tourists from all over the world come to see them and
try to trace back their ancestry.
