Two Natıons Compared Zainab Tajamul Rauf
As someone who has experienced life in both Pakistan and Turkey, I’ve gained a unique perspective on these two diverse countries. Let’s begin by exploring the differences between Pakistan and Turkiye.
The Turkish 100 Lira note showcases Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Turkey. His legacy as a visionary leader and reformer remains integral to Turkey’s national identity. The currency, the Turkish Lira, reflects Turkey’s dynamic economy and its position as a bridge between Europe and Asia.
The Pakistani 100 Rupee note features the portrait of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founding father of Pakistan. Jinnah played a pivotal role in the creation of Pakistan in 1947. The currency is called the Pakistani Rupee, symbolizing the country’s economic stability and growth.
Turkiye is renowned for Göreme’s ancient cave dwellings in Cappadocia, carved into soft volcanic rock. Vibrant hot air balloons dotting the sky add to its allure, symbolizing adventure amidst ancient heritage.
