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.
