Countries like Pakistan are definitely at risk for loosing identity. The various factions within Pakistan are being pressured to conform to a more global identity. The most dangerous part of this is the transition is happening so fast that there is no time and little room for natural adaptation. The world is encroaching into previously isolated areas. That isolation once enjoyed by tribes and communities is under attack.
If you compare with how the isolated indigenous tribes in Brazil have had to accept government and social encroachment, their changes and adaptation took at least a century.
The speed of encroachment for isolated Pakistani and Afghan areas is just a few decades by comparison. That is not enough time to adjust whole populations.
