Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how Pakistan appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
En 1947, l'Empire des Indes a été divisé pour donner naissance, à la suite d'une partition sanglante, à deux États, l'Inde et le Pakistan, celui-ci rassemblant deux territoires situés de part et d'autre de l'Inde. La partie orientale s'est détachée du Pakistan occidental en 1971, en créant le Bangladesh.
