Blog Post 11 Religous and Cultural Divsions in Pakistan

Given that we are focusing on nationalism this week and the reading I have done in Cracking India. This particular article seemed exceptionally appropriate. The article shows the persecution that Christians living in Pakistan have had to endure, although people who consider themselves Christian are a minority in the dominantly Muslim country of Pakistan there have been violent acts protesting their right to worship. The internal divisions that is currently taking place in Pakistan can find their roots within the act of partition, that took place in 1940. This religious division within the country has not only sparked violence and protests it has also bled over into the political arena of the country creating deeper divisions and cultural divides.http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-32212962
