As a start to the August 14th festivities and for all of those with nothing better to do, I figured a thread was due on how YOU specifically learnt or became interested in Pakistan and it’s politics/history etc

It could be anything from a book to a writer to a documentry to a friend or relative. If you are mentioning books and articles do throw in links which maybe of interest
