Pakistan, officially the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, is a country located in South Asia. Initially a part of India, Pakistan was founded and became a separate nation in 1947 following the Partition of India.
History[]
Partition[]
- "Back then, there was no Pakistan or Bangladesh. It was all one big country, India."
- ―Yusuf Khan to Tyesha Hillman[src]
Prior to World War II, the land now known as Pakistan was part of India. In 1947, following the aftermath of the war, the United Kingdom granted independence to India, bringing an end to British colonial rule.[1] However, in accordance with Viceroy Louis Mountbatten and Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the British decided to divide India into two nations: India and Pakistan.[2] Pakistan was designated as a Muslim nation, where Muslims in India were to migrate to, while India became a secular nation with a Hindu majority.[3] Jinnah, as founder of Pakistan, was given the honorific Quaid-e-Azam.[4][2] Chaos ensued as families mass migrated across the two nations, with criticism heavily being levied on the British for creating a messy situation.[1]
Foundation of Bangladesh[]
- "The British left us with a mess. It was very hard for many people. And then there was a civil war."
- ―Muneeba Khan to Tyesha Hillman[src]
The Partition of India also included the Partition of Bengal, where the Indian province of Bengal was split into the Hindu-majority West Bengal, situated in India, and the Muslim-majority East Bengal, situated in the newly formed nation of Pakistan. East Bengal was renamed East Pakistan while the rest of Pakistan was designated West Pakistan. However, following a civil war among the two enclaves, the already partitioned nation split into two as well, with East Pakistan becoming its own independent nation of Bangladesh while West Pakistan reverted to using the Pakistan name.[1]
Muneeba's Family[]
- "Muneeba's family moved to Karachi only after the Partition."
- ―Yusuf Khan[src]
Sana, along with her father Hasan, successfully relocated to Karachi in Pakistan, as a result of the Partition.[2] Sana later married, took the surname Ali and had a daughter named Muneeba[5] and a son named Kakoo, and raised them in a house in the affluent neighborhood of Clifton.
In her adult life, Muneeba met and eventually married Yusuf Khan, with whom she had a son named Aamir. The Khan family left Karachi shortly after.[6] Ali continued to remain in Karachi, where her son lived with his children Owais and Zainab, and she had Magnum, her pet golden retriever.[2]
Soviet Plutonium[]
- "Ivan, who is also a physicist, was convicted of selling Soviet-era weapons grade plutonium to Pakistan, and served fifteen years in Kopeisk prison."
- ―J.A.R.V.I.S. to Tony Stark[src]
Having started nuclear programs since the Cold War, Pakistan purchased Soviet-era weapons grade plutonium from Russian physicist Ivan Vanko.[7]
Obadiah Stane's Shipments[]
Obadiah Stane had weapons sold to the Ten Rings and shipped them to Karachi, Pakistan. One of the companies he used to do so, South Asia Transport, was based in Islamabad, Pakistan. These weapons were then taken to Kandahar, Afghanistan.[8]
Bruce Banner's Travels[]
Bruce Banner went to hide in Asia after leaving his cabin in Bella Coola, Canada. S.H.I.E.L.D. tracked Banner as he crossed Afghanistan and Pakistan heading to India. He managed to keep his transformations under control while crossing the country, only triggered when under attack in Indian territory.[9]
Aldrich Killian's False Flag Attacks[]
Kidnapping of James Rhodes[]
- "What are you doing?"
"A little knock and talk, making friends in Pakistan." - ―Tony Stark and Iron Patriot[src]
Pakistan was the location where the Mandarin's broadcasts were tracked following the presumed assassination of Thomas Richards, an accountant for the Roxxon Corporation, despite the fact that Matthew Ellis yielded to his demands. Ellis ordered Iron Patriot immediately in Pakistan, finding false points of origin to the broadcasts.
Iron Patriot in Pakistan
Iron Patriot raided a house in Pakistan, as Mandarin's signal was changed from his actual origin to point other places. He received a call from Tony Stark to confirm that A.I.M. was responsible for his rebrand, asking why Rhodes didn't look for him following his disappearance. Stark asked Rhodes for his login to access A.I.M. servers, mocking that Rhodes preferred his War Machine codename despite publicly affirming that Iron Patriot was better.
Iron Patriot investigating a sweatshop
Iron Patriot went to raid a sweatshop, but this time, instead of a simple ruse to hide the actual location of the broadcasts, an Extremis-enhanced agent of A.I.M. ambushed Iron Patriot and disabled his armor applying extreme heat. The woman contacted Eric Savin to inform of the success of her mission to acquire the armor.[10]
Tribute to the Avengers[]
Mural of Ant-Man at the Karachi Station
Sometime after the Blip, a mural of Ant-Man was painted at the Karachi Station in honor of his role in bringing about the restoration of the world's population. It listed him as being a member of the Avengers, signifying how respected and popular he had become.[2]
