As we all know Pakistan means the "Land Of Pure" but i have recently found out something very interesting about where our nation got it's name from. See the original spelling of Pakistan is actually PAKSTAN. And each letter in Pakstan represents something; P for Punjab, A for Afganiyat [Now known as NWFP and FATA], K for Kashmir, S for Sindh, and ending with ‘tan’ for Baluchistan. Now is that amazing or what?!? And this isn't just another theory or a myth but actually came from the famous Time Magazine [Aug. 13, 2007 edition to be exact]. I Hope you enjoyed this little yet amazing fact, i know i did ;)
