What we gained and what lost since creation of Pakistan

Keeping in view the present confused situation, people across the country are very much concerned about the future of Pakistan.
Some people even say now that they were far better before the creation of the country. After sacrificing thousands of lives, today we could not achieve the destination for what the founder of the country dreamt off.
We have already lost our eastern part due to our own obliviousness. USA, Israel, India and Europe are busy in making plans to divide Pakistan into number of small states so that this only Islamic atomic power may deprive of this ability.
                          
Our political leaders have successfully divided us into different groups on the basis of languages and sects. Now we are being identified as Sindhi, Seraiki, Balochi, Punjabi and Pakhtoon. But during these 64 years, we could not make even a single Pakistani.
We should unite as a nation and should reject all those elements who are dreaming of division of the country. The new generation is confused about the future of the country and they ask "What is the future of Pakistan". Following are some optimistic facts and figures.
Pakistan has now become the 46th big economy in the world. At the time of its creation, to run the government affairs, the country's expenditures were Rs. 800 million while its revenues were only Rs. 450 million, so the rest of funds were met with the help of patriotic people of Pakistan.
Today, Pakistan's revenues are have been exceeded to Rs. 2000 billion Our per capita income has reached to over $ 1000 per anum.

In 1947, total population of western Pakistan was 30 million and at that time, all the commodities were imported from the world. Today, our total population is 180 million and we are independent in wheat flour, sugar, rice, milk, fabrics and medicines and even we earn more than $25 billion by exporting these commodities.
