Pakistan Mein Jamhooriyat ka Sawaal: Democracy in Pakistan

AUTHOR Najmi, Ashar
PUBLISHER Bright Books (12/24/2024)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description

What are the factors that have contributed to the lack of democratic advancement in Pakistan? One possible explanation is straightforward: Pakistan has yet to develop a social structure conducive to democracy. However, the situation is further complicated by the fact that the aristocracy on occasion displays a nascent inclination towards a form of democracy, largely as a result of sustained pressure from the general public. In such circumstances, when dictatorship replaces the ostensible democracy and dismisses it, the people, intellectuals, and especially progressives maintain that the solution to the problems lies exclusively in democracy. Even if it is an ineffective and unsustainable system, it is preferable to dictatorship. It is therefore imperative that efforts be made to revive democracy. It is also necessary to consider why the democratic experiment fails repeatedly. It appears that whenever there is a demand for democracy, a fragile system emerges on the political landscape, presenting itself as a democratic entity for a brief period. However, a system that lacks historical legitimacy ultimately collapses, resulting in a recurrence of chaos. This phenomenon is evident in Pakistan, where the country continues to grapple with persistent challenges.
