The relationship between India and Pakistan has always been on the bitter side, since independence.
Over the years, owing to humongous increase in the terror attacks, ceasefire violations and political disturbances, there is a certain kind of hatred developed between the people living on both sides of the border. Both the countrymen do not want to see each other eye to eye, be it on border or in a cricket match. The only exception being political meetings where things look cordial.
But that's not all about Pakistan, the country on the ground is somewhat similar to it India.
Culturally both the nation are close to each other. Like India, Pakistan is an ethnically and linguistically diverse country, with a similar variation in its geography and wildlife. Ranging from food habits, lifestyle and language, there is lot more common between India and Pakistan, which is under the covers.
To understand the country better let's sneak-peek into the daily life of people of Pakistan:

5. Minorities in Pakistan

The cross, being built by a businessman who said the idea came to him in a dream, is rising as Christians in Pakistan often face discrimination.
