The first inhabitants of Pakistan were Stone Age peoples
in the Potwar Plateau (northwest Punjab). They were followed by the
sophisticated Indus Valley (or Harappan) civilisation which flourished
between the 23rd to 18th centuries BC. Today the major cities of Pakistan
are modern with business centres, latest infrastructural facilities and
modern lifestyle which contrasts with the old customs and traditions of the
small towns around these cities.
