British influence in Pakistan

The Dominion of Pakistan was founded in 1947 as a result of the independence of India from British rule, when India was simultaneously partitioned to create Pakistan. East Pakistan seceded in 1971 as a result of the Language Movement followed by the Bangladesh War of Independence, and West Pakistan has continued the Pakistani national identity since. Pakistan is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations.

Government
Pakistan is a parliamentary democratic republic using the Westminster system. The structure of government is outlined by the Constitution of Pakistan and takes a federal form. With the Independence Act of 1947, the existing constituent assemblies became dominion legislatures. Although Pakistan has endured periods of military and martial rule, the country now holds regular parliamentary elections. ==Architecture==
Architecture
The British introduced a new style of colonial architecture. In Lahore, a synthesis of Gothic, Victorian, Muslim and ancient Indian architectural elements developed. In Karachi, examples of colonial-era architecture include the Imperial Customs House and Jahangir Kothari Parade promenade, now obscured by subsequent developments. ==English language==
