I search and got some information on Ten Largest Armies of the World.
It was amazing to know that my great country Pakistan has the 5th biggest army of the world, but this doesn’t means that the biggest is also the strongest as well, because the strongest would be the one which would have the latest technology weapons. This top ten list is created on the basis of number of soldiers.

Pakistan Army:
The Pakistan Army, combined with the Navy and Air Force, makes Pakistan’s armed forces the fifth largest military in the world. The Army is modelled on the United Kingdom armed forces[citation needed] and came into existence after the independence in 1947. It has an active force of 619,000 personnel and 528,000 men in reserve that continue to serve until the age of 45 and several other groups functioning under its many umbrella organisations.
