Pakistan’s culture is a melting pot of Persian, Indian, Afghan, Central Asian, South Asian, and Western Asian influences. Over 15 major ethnic groups can be found in Pakistan, that vary in physical features, historical bloodlines, dress types, customs, food, and music. Some include Sindhis, Punjabis, Baloch, Pashtuns, Hazaras, Makranis, Kashmiris, and Baltis, coming from regions such as the Indus Valley, Africa, or Tibet. The spiritual power of Islam has also strongly shaped Pakistani culture.
