Pakistan is a country having roots in historic culture that dates back more than 5000 years and contains reminiscences of the Indus civilization. The artistic influences found in major Pakistani culture are that of Islamic ideology, and also borrows heavily from the Indian subcontinent.
The ancient artifacts found in the city of Moen-Jo-Daro and similar excavations all over the country have yielded that the region was very advanced in day to activities and had a rich culture.
More recent cultural influences are those of Mughal era, which has left its mark on much of our literature, painting, architecture, as well as societal norms as we practice today. The current array of arts in Pakistan is hugely divergent and spans a broad range of trends that are different in individual provinces, cultures and regions of the country.
