Culture of Pakistan
We find diversity in Pakistan's culture. There are differences in culture among the different ethnic groups as dressing food and religion. Pakistan is consists of four mainly different cultures, Sindhi Culture, Punjabi culture, Pakhtooms culture and Balochi culture. Along with in Pakistan people of different religions live who have their own culture like Hindus and Christians.
Increasing globalization has increased the influence of Western culture in Pakistan, especially among the affluent, who have easy access to Western products, television, media, and food. Many Western food chains have established themselves in Pakistan, and are found in the major cities. At the same time, there is also a reactionary movement within Pakistan that wants to turn away from Western influences, and this has manifested itself in a return to more traditional roots, often conflated with Islam.
Despite globalization and modern style people haven’t forget their culture still people celebrate their ceremonies of marriages and funeral traditionally. They celebrate eid days as they celebrated in olden days. In rural areas people love to wear their traditional dresses and eat their traditional food.
