Each country has symbols, monuments,
structures which become its recognition the world over. Eiffel Tower of France,
Statue of Liberty of USA and the London Bridge for UK. As of Pakistan, Koh
Kambaran (Ras Koh Hills), Minar-e-Pakistan, the Grand Trunk Road, the
Badshahi Mosque, Shahi Qilla, Shalamar Bagh, the River Indus, the K-2 , the
Trango Towers, the KKH, Zamzamma (the Kim's Gun), the Rohtas Fort and the Blind
Dolphin of River Indus are some of the many landmarks that have become
synonymous to Pakistan. Two buildings attributed to Jinnah (Quaid-e-Azam),
founder of Pakistan, one his mausoleum at Karachi and his last resting place at
Ziarat, Balochistan just before his death have assumed significant importance.
The tower like structure of Government College (and University) at Lahore not
only is a symbol of structural might but also of quality education and torch
bearer of enlightenment for future generations. An exception has been made in
this section by adding "Kafir Kalash - the Wearers of the Black Robe" as one of
the landmarks of Pakistan, for the simple reason that these people are unique in
the entire world and tourists from all over the world come to see them and try
to trace back their ancestry.
