Quote:

With political institutions eroded by the inept political leaders, Military emerged as an integral part of decision making in Pakistan.The analyses show that three factors explain the transformation of the civil-military relations. i.The nature and problems of the civil society. ii.The nature of the military. iii.The interactions across the boundaries of the civil and military domains. The military’s position was strengthened by Pakistan’s acute sense of insecurity caused by regional security pressure.Mr. Bhutto did try to assert civilian supremacy by strengthening political institutions because of set back due to 1971 debacle in East Pakistan. However, his objective was defeated by the very policies he adopted to achieve this. Pakistan can now be described as a praetorian state where the military has acquired the capability, will and sufficient experience to dominate the core political institutions.After ruling for 33 years Millitary could not deliver what a democracy is expected to deliever.Democratic practices and institutions have been mired by sudden interruptions and their stunt approach did not allow people to advance with the supplement of democratic norms.Dictatorship in all its manifestations can not be a patch on democratic system, because of its hatred,fundamentalist and complacent approach. Systems take root if there is no fear of being extermination.Unfortunately and admittedly we as a nation have never been able to produce capable leadership who could draw us out from the vortex of viscous circle.System has been plagued by self seeking politicians and nomenclature loving Military icons,who do believe in their vested interests.

From which book hv u taken this Riaz ?
Perhaps military and politics by H.A.Rizvi ?

Anyway, just tell me how to bring this into real being ?


Hina i think that we hv elected representatives.they hv really disappointed us with their performance.i wanted to say that do we need an honest one man to rise to top and change the whole of it.


@khuhro

i know democracy is the most efficient form of govt.
but i want to say that we dun hv that infrastructure which is part and parcel of a successful democracy.the problems that i mentioned hv weakened our socio-political fabric and hv turned the nation frustrated.


@Sakk
brother u hv mentioned some really good pints.
But I feel that many of friends hv nt bn able to understand the essence of what I m talking.i reiterate that can a dictator (either civilian or a military general) can resolve our problems if he works truly in a patriotic way? I m quite aware of how and what the military dictators in past hv delivered us.

@maliasghar:
Brother I believe that democracy fits in all the societies.unfortunately, we hv nt seen democracy in its true spirit.the fact of the matter is this thatdemocracy has never bn allowed to flourish in our country.we hv nt seen democracy and its fruits yet.
