Karakoram province or Gilgit-Baltistan

[jupiter2007]

Here is another suggestion based on this map.

Pakistan should create 16 smaller provinces or 16 "Super districts".

16 "Super districts"



1-Gilgat (Shia Muslim-majority, Urdu, Shina language (with several dialects), Balti dialect, a sub-dialect of Ladakhi)

2-Kashmir [Azad Kashmir , Kashmir Valley, Jammu and Aksai Chin]
(74.16% Muslim, Hindus, 23.72%, and Buddhists, 1.21%) (Urdu, Punjabi, Hindko, Mirpuri, Pahari, Gojri, Pashto and other languages)

3-Mardan (99% Muslim, Pashtu, Hindko, Pothwari, Seraiki, Punjabi (In Kohistan area - Dardic peoples including the Shina, Kohistani, Torwalis))

4-Peshawar (99% Muslim, Pashtu, Hindko, Seraiki, Urdu, Punjabi and Balochi)

5-Lahore (99% Muslim, Punjabi, Seraiki, Urdu, Pashtu)

6-Sarghda (99% muslim, Seraiki, Punjabi, Pashtu, Balochi, Urdu)

7-Fasialabad (99% Muslim, Punjabi, Seraiki, Urdu, Balochi, Pashto and Sindhi)

8-Multan (99% Muslim, Seraiki, Punjabi and Balochi)

9- Dera Gazi Khan (99% Muslim, Seraiki, Balochi, Pashto, Brahui, Punjabi, Muhajir (Urdu speaking), (1% -> Hindu, Christian and Ahmedi)

10-Sukkar - (98% Muslim, Sindhi, Seraiki, Balochi, Punjabi, Pashto, Brahui, Muhajir (Urdu speaking), (2% -> Hindu, Christian and Ahmedi)

11-Queta - ( 99% Muslim, Pashtun are in Majority, around 20% Hazaras, 25-30% Baloch and rest are Brahui, Punjabi, Muhajir (Urdu speaking), Afghan Refugees, Hindus).

12-Larkana (will have Sindhi, Balochi and some Baruhi living together)

13-Nawabshah (Sindhi, Urdu, Balochi, Punjabi, Pashto)

14-Hydrabad (Sindhi, Urdu, Punjabi, Pashto)

15-Karachi (Urdu, Sindhi, Punjabi, Pashtu, Baruhi, Balochi)

16-Gwadar (90% Balochi, Urdu, Punjabi, Sindhi)

Ignore the above map - it may not be functional.
I have created may different maps. Please look at the one below.

Iran has 30 provinces, Afghanistan has 23 provinces, India has 28 provinces (India split punjab and created Haryana).
Netherlands is same size as Sindh and it has 12 provinces. Turkey has 81 provinces, France has 22 Regions, Thailand has 75 provinces. Why can't Pakistan have 15-18 provinces? or Super Districts

Pakistan should divide 4 into 15-18 multi-ethnic provinces. I think it would be great for Pakistan. We need divide the provinces and rename them, remove the sindh, punjab and balochistan.

16 "Super districts"

1-Gilgat
2-Kashmir
3-Mardan
4-Peshawar
5-Lahore
6-Sarghda
7-Fasialabad
8-Multan
9- Dera Gazi Khan
10-Sukkar
11-Queta
12-Larkana
13-Nawabshah
14-Hydrabad
15-Karachi
16-Gwadar







Some people also suggested that Punjab should be split into North, South Punjab and Bhawalpur

PM Imran Khan is not going to do anything about creating more provinces since he doesn’t have 2/3 majority.

 

[Pakistansdefender]

The part of your post about dividing the Pakistan into 15 to 20 provinces is right.
And also the part where provinces should never be ethnic or religious.
Who would think like that.
Imran can do that but he has too. Much pressure and very thin majority.

Karakoram and Gilgit-Baltisan make two provinces each!

 

[Asian.Century]

Make two provinces, Far North, Karakoram or Gilgit Province, and Skardu side make part as Baltistan province.
